There is a guy that has a potato shapped, broiler grill cart that rolls down the sidewalk in York, England. He sells stuffed potatoes that are filled with vegetables, curries, salads, or whatever you want. It is such a great option on those cold myserable mornings and the potatoe is soooo good. I believe one would do fabulously on Tryon St. That might be my next career to think of it. I would really like to see that. A kaboob cart would be nice as well.
I remember when the locals in my old Florida town cried about not having a NY bagal place and one opened with really good, chewy, NY style (kosher) bagles and they were busy for a month and that was basically it. It was even called "Broolkyn bagels." Then the NY pizzas came which the New Yorkers raved about. They did pretty good for a while as well. But the locals didn't frequent the place because they weren't as good as other local places and there wasn't enough business to warrant success.
I'm not sure if I even know what would be a hometown specialty? I don't know people in New England, including my relatives, that know how to make anything besides sandwiches. If it weren't for Duncan Doughnuts and Friendly's Restaurant, they would starve to death.
Just kidding. Or am I?
I think that if they had called it Brooklyn Bagels, instead of Broolkyn Bagels, it might have lasted a bit longer

Is that an actual place or did you mean Dunkin' Donuts? I love donuts so if there is one out there that I haven't heard of, I need to try it.

Bagels and pizza aren't "obscure regional specialties." There are several successful NY bagel and pizza places here that people will travel for (mainly bagels as there are fewer good ones). And as I've said on here before, IMO there is much better NY-style pizza in Charlotte than I ever found living in Maryland or central PA which are much closer to NY obviously. And just because a place calls itself "NY Pizza" doesn't mean it's actually good.
Now if someone opened a spiedie shop, not sure how long that would last...
