Americanized Chinese food--sure, it may have originated in San Fran, but it's no freakin' good. Ugh. Chinese food will never be replaced by the authentic thing.

American sushi? Originated in San Fran? What did all those Japanese in Hawaii eat, then?

Fortune cookies? Will these ever be on the same level as Beignets in New Orleans? NOOOOOOOOO.....

The burrito that we know is the Mission Burrito, which comes from San Francisco. Cioppino sounds Italian but also comes from San Francisco.

The claim is not widely disputed although a bar in Los Angeles says they were first but apparently has no backstory to support it.

We grew up on Pepperoni sandwiches. Well, they were around everywhere, in homes and sold in luncheonettes. When I moved to Florida and asked for one, they said, "How do you want it"? "Just a pepperoni sandwich," I said. They sliced it up and put sauce on it and in a hoagie roll. Weird.

We ate them w/ the sliced Pepperoni mixed in w/ sauce (cooked on the stove, sometimes the Pepperoni was pre boiled a bit to get out some of the grease) and on a roll. So, a friend from the area told me they don't know what these are outside of this county we were raised in. Like, really?! Even in another part of NY they hadn't ever made them like that. Scratching my head...

This didn't happen often in Ireland at the time. Perhaps at some fancy restaurant. People just poured whiskey into their coffee.

A five-way. Cincinnati chili is something apart from what most people consider chili. It's delicious but it's different.

Kiszka....polish blood sausage. Have it here in New England. Haven`t seen it any where else. Old people`s food. I haven`t had it in years, actually very good.

Neither of these foods are unique or even native to Georgia. In fact they're pretty common all over the south. For GA I would say Brunswick stew.

I'm originally from Texas but it seems all the unique foods from that state have already been mentioned. I haven't been in South Florida long enough to discover the specialty food down here.
