  • joan o

    I live in Seminole Florida and I dont know about local flavor but Hooters wings started here

  • Angie P.

    I live in southern New Jersey just outside Philly, and you cannot beat a real Philly cheesesteak. (Not) surprisingly, some of the best ones are to be found here in SNJ (must be those expats from South Philly).

    I’m from Chicago. We have the best pizza in the USA, and, of course, Lou Malnati’s is my favorite. My friends that come to visit out of state can’t wait to go there and have some of Lous Malnati’s delicious pizza. I would love to win this contest! Pizza is my favorite food.

    Please & Thanks!

    I’m from Elko, NV. (Don’t live there anymore though) I miss the Basque food. It’s absolutely awesome! Can’t get it anywhere else. Order your entree (filet mignon, breaded prawns, pork chops, etc.) then get salad and bread, soup, french fries, spaghetti, green beans, sometimes potatoes, and your entree. With the wine. Then dessert. Oh man, my mouth waters just thinking about it! Plus you have a Picon Punch before dinner. You have got to try Basque food!

  • Julia Semans

    I live in Minnesota now, but just got back from a visit home to Syracuse, NY. Has to be the best food in the world! I ate pulled pork at Dinosaur Barbecue, and had to have a Heid’s hot dog. Had pizza 3 times, no bad pizza in Syracuse!
    Of course had to have Grandma Brown’s Baked Beans, Columbus Bakery Italian Bread, and salt potatoes. And a Haddock and pasta dinner at Steak and Sundae!
    I’m crying now!

  • Rosanne Morrison

    I’m Italian originally from Chicago but have lived in Rockford, IL for over 30 years. The best pizza in the world bar none is a local Italian restaurant named Lino’s on State St. Try it if you ever visit Rockford, Their pizza and special salad is my favorite. My sons who live out of the city, out of state and out of the country all want it when they come home to visit.

  • debbie debartolo

    Coming from Brooklyn, NY, we thought we had the best pizza. That is until we came out to Lincroft NJ and tasted Luigi’s Famous Pizza. Everytime would visit, we insisted on their pizza. It is thin and crunchy and the sauce is sweet and salty. There is just enough cheese on it. I would say that this is the best pizza I have tasted in a long time. Hope the contest is still on!!!! ilove2cook2

  • Sharon Jones

    I live in Macon, GA. The south is known for it’s good cooking. There’s all sorts to choose from. My favorite restaurant is Fresh Air BarBQue. They actually started up the road about 60 miles in Jackson, GA. There they have sawdust on the floors and wooden planked tables and benches. Here in Macon the ambiance is not as authentic, but the food is excellent. Their pulled pork recipe has won them recognition across the state if not the country.

  • Bethany Moore

    I live in Chicago and my favorite local restaurant is a place called Oven Grinders! They have the coolest pizza that comes in a bowl and the sauce is some sort of blended meat and tomato combo. Their Mediterranean bread is fantastic as well!

  • Lisa Collins

    Annie’s in El Paso, Arkansas! Good Food. Good Service. Right Price. Perfect Atmosphere.

    One of the coolest things about Annie’s (besides the monstrous mushroom burger) is that you can eat you food in booths made out of antique horse drawn buggies. Its the perfect place to go on a date.

    Howdy! I grew up in South Jersey, lived in Florida for a while and now I currently reside in Amarillo, TX. I thought I would mention a favorite in each state! In South Jersey, diners are THE place to go so my vote would be for Medport Diner in Medford, NJ or Olga’s in Marlton, NJ. My vote in Florida would be a little restaurant in Sarasota, Fl called “The Main Bar”. It was originally started by retired circus performers with Ringling’s circus. Amarillo’s vote, for me, would be “The Texas Roadhouse”. My husband and I love to go there. They have THE best steaks, bleu cheese dressing, and their rolls are to die for!

  • myra cochran

    I live in Concord NC. My favorite resturant is called Smokey Bones. The ribs are finger licking ggod. The staff is all very nice. The homemade doughnuts and the dipping sauce are a killer. You can watch sports and eat ribs and drink beer. It is a great way to end a day or start your weekend.

  • Brittany

    I love anyplace that has a good set of hot wings! I am really into buffalo wild wings right now! Nothing is better than the stinging on your tongue and sauce all over your fingers! HA! Bring on the wings!

    Thanks for the ideas everyone. I was only to Chicago once and loved the food. Where I live in Florida they have seemed to put up alot of Chicago themed restaurants in the last few years. But there is nothing like being in Chicago.

    Hi, I live in Riga, Latvia, and frankly it is very fond of the national cuisine. My favorite restaurant is called “pies from Aunt Glasha” is a wonderful place overlooking the bay

    I enjoy eating at Joy Yee Noodle. I am from Chicago

  • Michael Squires

    I live in Los Angeles now but I was born and raised in The Great City of Chicago. Being in California, the choices we have for (Good) pizza are very slim. I love Lou’s and order it. But when I crave Chicago food I go to Portillos in Buena Park, Ca. which is around 15 miles away from where I live. Fingers crossed in hopes to get some Lous………

  • Christina Cambray-Valencia

    I am born and raised in Chicago, my favorite place to eat hands down is Gino’s East. The story begins 4 years ago, March 18th the day my husband and I got married. After our reception we went to relax at a hotel in downtown chicago. We were both tipsy and exhausted not to mention hungry. We heard a knock on the door, my husband opened the door and found a pizza at our front door. Now normally we wouldnt eat something left at our front door but we figured it was a thoughtfull gift from a friend or family member. It was the first time either of us had ever tried it. and we fell in love with the traditional tasty deep dish pizza. The next day we made a couple of calls to try and figure out who sent it over so we can thank them. We never found out who sent it, but it was a blessing because my husband and I go there very often now. every time we share the story with someone new. It reminds us of the day we started out new live together….

    I am born and raised in Chicago (North/westside), I would have to say one my my favorite places is Superdawg!! Love how it’s been there since the 50′s and my dad tells me stories of when he’d go there with his buddy’s, love that the taste hasn’t changed, and good atmosphere over all.

  • Kim D’Amico

    I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and it’s hard to pick one great food place.I have to say that my favorite place is Kumas Korner, they have a Very cool atmosphere and a delicious variety of Hamburgers.
