We have "Jacksonville tomatoes," and "Noonday onions," so there you have it. You can't market "Noonday onions" unless they are grown in a very small area. Sort of the same as "Vidalia onions" from Vidalia, GA. Very sweet, big, yellow onions. They really are fabulous.

Vidalias are delicious, and they are shipped all over. I've seen them in supermarkets here in NYC and also at ones in Calif.
Well, here in East Texas we have a lot of Hispanic influence. I just took this picture of a papaya with some chili-lime seasoning, with fresh lime squirted over it, that I had for lunch - YUM. Now - we're not famous for this, but we should be.

Virginia Beach used to be famous for its oysters from the Lynnhaven Bay/River, which were apparently coveted by royalty and presidents across the world. The River/Bay (it's both) was overpolluted and almost all oyster harvesting was shut down, but after big efforts to clean up the Lynnhaven, it's been slowly opening up for harvesting again.
Minneapolis doesn't really have a "signature" dish like other cities do, but there are certainly things that will be difficult—if not impossible—to find on restaurant menus or in grocery stores outside of Minnesota (and maybe North Dakota):
Lutefisk (the classic "Lutheran church basement" food for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's almost universally despised yet somehow still exists and is eaten...by whom, I'm not sure.)
Lefse (a delicious Scandinavian potato-based flatbread similar to a tortilla, very popular for Thanksgiving and Christmas)
Walleye (a freshwater fish that's ubiquitous across the Upper Midwest, but extremely popular in Minnesota restaurants and a prize catch for anglers)
Wild rice (you get wild rice instead of white rice in a lot of upscale restaurants here, and wild rice soup is a favorite)
Houston with its huge variety of excellent ethnic cousine.
Thats not one cuisine. Houston isnt known for a particular cuisine, but it has just about everything under the sun. It does have, what is probably, the best authentic Mexican food outside of LA.
Not really cities, but I'm pretty sure that Nebraska and North-Central Kansas are the only places in America where bierocks/runzas are common (or at least the places they are most prevalent).
Denver - Omelets
Salt Lake City - green Jello
Des Moines - pork tenderloin sandwiches
Anchorage - king crab
