I thought this would be a fun idea for a thread since there are so many members on YT from different parts of the country & world.

What food(s) is your city/town/area FAMOUS for?

Chicago is famous for:

Chicago style hotdogs. Never ever ever ask for ketchup to put on your Chicago hotdog. I have been known for slapping it out of people's hands.
You start with a Vienna Beef hot dog, boiled; the dog goes on a steamed poppy seed bun. The condiments are: yellow mustard, bright green relish, fresh chopped onions, tomato wedges, pickle spear, sport peppers, shake of celery salt. And never, ever ever a drop of ketchup. Ketchup does not go on a Chicago Style Hot Dog.

Secondly, there is the Rainbow Cone, which is served at the original Rainbow Cone store that has been open since the early 1920s. A rainbow cone is composed of:
chocolate, strawberry, pistachio and Palmer House (cherry flavored, with chunks of cherry and walnut) ice creams. There is also orange sherbet--packed into a wedge atop your cone.

Thirdly is Chicago Style pizza which is either deep dish or stuffed.

The Chicago-style "deep-dish" pizza was invented at Pizzeria Uno in Chicago and begins with a simple, often very thick, crust (made with olive oil and often cornmeal) in a deep round pan, parbaked before the toppings are added to give it greater spring. The bottom of the crust is lined with meats and/or vegetables while the sides rise to the top of the pan. Mozzarella cheese is added atop the meats, vegetables, or whatever other topping are used, and then a layer of crushed tomatoes is ladled over the top and the whole pizza is baked to completion. Deep-dish pizza is often eaten with a knife and fork, since its thickness and occasional messiness do not lend themselves to eating with the fingers as is often the case for thin-crust pizza.
