Re: US Regional Cuisines
I'm not even sure what's so interesting or unmissable above the line to be honest other than maybe coney dogs.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
I've had some great meals while on vacation in the BELOW, and I've never been to NO so there is certainly real potential for a "best meal of my life" I'd be missing out on, but if I'm being practical (assuming I'm not retiring to coastal SC or GA or something) there is no way pizza goes anywhere but ABOVE and I don't think there is any other food I eat and truly enjoy as regularly as pizza.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: US Regional Cuisines
North just for the pizza and Chinese food
Re: US Regional Cuisines
If sushi is above the line, then yes.
And if this includes beverages, then yes even harder.
And if I could just get breakfast from below the line, that'd be great.
Thanks.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
Food only, sushi would go above the line, mexican would go below. "That great mexican place in Lexington" doesn't count, everything has a home.
Re: US Regional Cuisines
Is anything that is so widespread now that it has lost all regional and ethnic ties still on the table, or are we literally only eating traditionally regional foods for the rest of our life?
(i.e. Can I pick the South and still have, like, pancakes and pasta whenever I want?)

Without north, no oysters. So North.

They literally pull oysters out of the Gulf and serve them later that day in New Orleans.

I guess I've always thought of them as more of a PNW/Upper Eastern Seaboard thing.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
I'd get multiple types of pizza, Chinese food, KC BBQ, wisconsin cheese, both good cheap and expensive beer and also ice cream and frozen custard if I stay north? what kind of dumb question is this

Re: US Regional Cuisines
There are spots in FL and SC that have amazing oysters.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
My post from the other thread:
I'm having trouble trying to figure out what they're going for here.
Cuban, Cajun, half a complement of BBQ standards, TexMex, New Mexican, Sonoran, and...tri-trip/Californian Mexican food vs everything else?
But really, when you split California, Arizona, and New Mexico, you get the food from that state anyway. Soooooo, I don't get it.
Seems like an elaborate way to jazz up Tennessee/KC BBQ vs Carolina/Texas BBQ.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
I had what some restaurant labeled as "gulf oysters" in Ft. Walton and they were WAY too big and chewy. I'm normally down for any kind of oyster, but those were gross.
Are there better ones that are smaller and brinier?

I'm honestly not a fan of any oysters, but they don't get much fresher than a lot of places down in the Gulf.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:03 pmI had what some restaurant labeled as "gulf oysters" in Ft.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
Split by dominant city, so San Diego and LA if you pick below and SF and Santa Rosa if you're rollin' out above.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
LA was the first place to get sushi in the US, so that's below the burrito line for those voting on sushi.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I'm sure french existed here before NOLA but that's still "the french city" in the US.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
So it's San Fransisco or Seattle just because, rather than the first place a non-Japanese person could get it easily?

Re: US Regional Cuisines
Tri-tip.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
SF has tons of Japanese folks and so does Seattle, so I refuse to acknowledge sushi as being an LA thing. Also, Marin County has excellent oysters. Speaking of seafood, I think you also have to give the North salmon, halibut and crab.

Numerous google sources say it was introduced into the US in Little Tokyo in LA. The creation of the California roll propelled its popularity and made it more mainstream across the land.

Re: US Regional Cuisines
Almost every seafood, with the exception of those two fish you mention, has a southern cousin. Stone crabs, rock lobsters, aforementioned oysters.
South has crawfish.
