There's a thread on the NYC that's really long about foods people can't find outside the metro area. What about your metro area? As much as people like to believe, when you leave the metro area that food is known for, it really isn't nearly as good.
Here's my list for my metro:
-Bagels and bialys (most people don't seem to know what a bialy is. They're awful outside the area, if they even have them).
-rainbow cookies
-zeppolis and cannolis
-Pizza (well, Chicago metro has good pizza, but other than these 2 metros, it isn't really any good).
-black and whites
-egg creams (no, there's no egg or cream in them)
Agree on the bialys, BUT, New York doesn't make pizza.
Detroit Coneys are untouchable outside of Detroit, except oddly enough, in Lexington, where Detroit Coney Island has 2 branches to accommodate the Detroiters in the 859.
Can't find a hot brown and Ale8 outside of KY made the way it should be.

Ohio (Cinci style) chili is the only good chili.
Love Cincy chili and make the Skyline recipe often!

No, I've been meaning to though. I have to deliver paperwork to my other job downtown, so maybe I'll stop by when I do that soon. I've only been to Carnegie. I usually go to Ben's.

I never been to the Carnegie in NYC, but they have one near me in Jersey that I've been meaning to go to.
Never heard of Bens.
