Food Associated with a Place

I've eaten the following foods that are associated with a place:

1. Buffalo Wings in Buffalo, NY
   My friend Mike and I stopped by a family restaurant for some wings on our way to NYC. We slept in the rental car just north of Binghampton, NY that night, facing a low mountain and train trestle. The beginning of September, if I recall, the leaves beginning to turn colour. This was years before Mike moved to New Jersey.


2. Philly Cheese Steak in Philadelphia, PA
   A cheese steak is slices of steak and cheese between buns. This was at a 50/60s-style diner. I was in Philly for work.


3. Bagels in NY, NY
   Betty and I were visiting Mike when he lived near Paterson, NJ. Okay, so I physically bought the bagels in New Jersey, across the Hudson from NYC, but they were nevertheless authentic. A breakfast place we went to had an inept cashier. I got more change than expected. Mike turned a profit. Mike mentioned that the customer immediately before him had a puzzled look when he got his change back. Mike was renting a place that had a bug problem: millipede-type things. Almost as creepy as spiders. These things just glide across the floor until you whack them with a slipper.


4. Montreal Style Smoked Meat in Montreal, QC
   At the famous Ben's Deli.


5. Pastrami sandwich in NY, NY
   In a deli in Greenwich Village.


6. Nanaimo Bar in Nanaimo, BC
   Had some last summer while shopping at Woodgrove Centre.


7. Ribs in Memphis, TN
   At the Rendezvous and at Corky's. I was there for work. The hospital I visited is now gone.


8. New England Clam Chowder in Boston, MA
   On vacation with Betty.


9. Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish, and Beignets in New Orleans, LA
   Again, there for work. Definitely a food-loving city. Beignets are donuts without the hole, coated with icing sugar. Had some at the Café Du Monde. The crawfish was served whole, head and all. Some had eyes missing , so I spent most of the meal looking for them so that I wouldn't bite into one by accident. I did the same thing on another occasion when I was served a seafood paella.


10. Grits
    Either in Georgia, North Carolina, or Tennessee, I don't recall.


11. Quiche, croissant, crêpe (with Nutella) in Paris
    On vacation with Betty and Shaula. Room service provided croissant and coffee every morning.


12. Dutch pancakes in Amsterdam
    I believe I had strawberry and whipped cream on mine. This was in the Jewish part of town.


13. Poi in Hawaii
    Only because it was free (Betty and I sat through a Time Share indoctrination presentation to earn tickets to a luau.). Blando.
