>ITT: We name our city (or closest major city) and the regional dish that you think best represents it

I'll start. Houston, TX, being represented by tacos al carbon. First made at the original Ninfa's, it soon became popular all over Houston and eventually spread all over the state, even being found on menus in other states. You would be hard pressed to find a tex-mex retaurant in Texas that doesn't include tacos al carbon on the menu.

Little Rock, AR and cheese dip

Although, I wouldn't say that is what "best represents it". You could probably find better cheese dip somewhere else in the country.

I'd say our barbecue (http://www.wholehogcafe.com/)) or Greek food festivals (http://greekfoodfest.com/menu/)) bring us the most pride. I'm not going to argue definitions of "greek" with anyone. I don't completely agree with it either.

now, some of my fave food places. you mentioned pink's which is really good pizza, there are a few places i think are better though. Star Pizza is really really good, especially the deep dish. it's probably the best in the city. if you're more into new york style crust then check out luigi's pizzaria in midtown, its my personal favorite pizza in town. definitely a genuine new york pizza, i would recommend the caprese. another interesting and awesome pizza joint is bombay pizza in downtown. its definitely unique, all the pizzas are indian. really good.

burgers. if grime, lack of pretension, buffalo meat, cold beer, rednecks and hipsters don't offend you then you've gotta check out bubba's texas burger shack. it is literally in a small shack underneath a freeway, the shack was there before the freeway was built and they refused to move. so there it still is. i think its the best burger in town once you get over the sketchiness of the place. another favorite is bernie's burger bus, its a schoolbus that has been converted into a kitchen and travels around the city. don't let the bus fool you, these are well made gourmet burgers, expect to pay around 9-10 $ for one. and you have to get the truffle oil fries with parmesan and green onions.

niko niko's, go there.

I have been told the transit system is beyond terrible in Houston. Unfortunately renting a car is likely out of the question. Is the transit system sufficient enough to get me to the baseball and football stadiums? We will likely end up taxiing.

[Anonymous No.3780158]

since you are staying in the galleria area, i would think you could easily get a bus that is direct route to downtown, where the baseball field is, as well as our single light rail line. the light rail will take you straight to reliant stadium, as well as hermann park and the museum district (the museum district is excellent, if you have free time then i'd check it out). so yea, it shouldn't be a problem getting to downtown, the stadiums, and the museums/zoo/hermann park. just don't expect it to get you too far off the beaten path, it probably isn't worth the trouble.

Arrachera is typically grilled as well, except it is made from flank steak. Actually, it's not uncommon for many other taco meats to be grilled instead of cooked on a flat top nowadays. Also, there are many varieties of tacos that have marinated meat. Cochinita pibil or tacos al pastor are well known examples of this.

Throughout mexico people eat tacos made out of tons of things and how they're made vary from place to place. So even though some have been given names it's not because they're consistent. In some places the tacos are large and stuffed, in other places they're tiny and you buy 100 for a small handful of people. Some tacos are named just by the general perpetration style such as tacos de canasta. Other's don't even have a name.

This is what I mean when I say that they're like normal tacos. There isn't anything fundamentally different about them except for the flour tortilla (which is used in northern mexico and tourist areas where they're sometimes called a la gringa).

ok, i think you are missing a key point though. tacos al carbon is not a mexican dish. it is a tex-mex dish and it is unique among tex mex dishes. i'd rather not argue about authenticity or who made what first, tex mex cooking is a style highly influenced by traditional mexican food but it is also unique enough to stand on it's own as as it's on sort of genre of food. there may be similar or even identical dishes in mexico, but in texas cuisine we call them tacos al carbon and they stand as their own in comparison to other tacos in our area.

alright man, lemme break it down for you all, i'm buzzed, have lots of time, and know the ins and outs of tex mex cuisine.

tacos al carbon is essentially a fajita taco, and it came along soon after fajitas hit it big in texas. to start off i'm gonna describe fajitas so that you can understand where the taco al carbon came from and how it is different from the dish that inspired it.

ok. in tex mex cooking fajitas are marinated skirt steak, flank steak, or chicken. they are cooked on a small iron griddle and served still hot and sizzling on this very griddle, along with grilled onions and peppers. the fajita meat served sliced in thin strips, cut against the grain. the tortillas are brought out seperate, along with a small cold plate of toppings/fillings which usually consists of guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, and sometimes lettuce or cilantro. you then place the meat and fillings on your tortilla, assembling it at your own discretion. while fajitas for one are sometimes served, it is most commonly a dish to be shared amongst 2-4 persons.

ok, now tacos al carbon. tacos al carbon are also made with flank or skirt steak fajita meat, but instead of being cooked on a cast iron griddle it is instead grilled over a flame. it is also cut differently from fajitas. while fajitas are cut in thin strips, tacos al carbon meat is cut into medium sized chunks. they are served already rolled in tortilla, so that they can be bought separately or bought as part of a dinner, which usually comes with two along with rice and beans on the side. they are also usually served with a cold plate of toppings much like fajitas, which are to be added at your discretion. the additional fillings usually consist of pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. the side dishes of beans and rice can also be added.

I always thought that what made a burrito a burrito was that it used a flour tortilla, what with it being the Americanized version of a taco.

A politician in Northern Mexico believed that the reason the US was doing better than Mexico was because of their diet so they made a big push to convert people to flour instead of corn. Luckily, this only affected the backwater northern states.

[Anonymous No.3780652]

>>3780611
ok. Here is a bit of history:

The burrito originates from the misiones of old mexico that spawned all the way to northcal, nevada, colorado...etc... Who made them? The nice Jesuit padres that were crazy enough to go and build missions in the sonorita desert and the vizcaino dessert, who were generally italian and had an axe to grind woth corn.

They didnt fucking like it and they didnt like a lot of shit that was going on with the desert tribes. They even went as far as to make olive oil and shit in baja california (ive. Seen the olive trees and there are mission towns in the baja california desert that still make the oil).

Anyhow, about this deserts, If you see those on a map, you will see they share longitude, only sonorita is in the continent (the state of sonora) and vizcaino is in the peninsula (baja california). So the padres up there craved wheat bread, had no oven, and not much corn either, but they brought flour in their ships, not corn but wheat, so they came up, along witth the natives (the yakis, the raramuri, the guaycura and the pericu), with a european tortilla: made from euroflour(wheat), nor ameriflour(corn).

(continued)

[Anonymous No.3780654]

>>3780652
......continued

Why are they called burritos? Weell, it gets fuzzy. I will say this: I grew up in the butt of the baja california peninsula, and the most traditional burrito you can get... is made from wild donkey dry meat, then lard fried with peppers, onion, garlic and tomato, wrapped in a pork lard enriched wheatflour tortilla. This pocket can last for weeks outside of the fridge cause the meat is dried first, then its fried in pork lard, enclosed in a lard amassed tortilla.

An ideal meal if you are walking, say, from guadalupe valley which is lower than ensenada by a hundred clicks, to los angeles in what is now the us of a. (it takes like um... I dont know, about 8 hours at 100km/h in a car?)

So, burritos are called such cause they were originally made from donkey (burro) meat. Thats my theory. Take it or leave it, i dont give a fuck. Ive eaten them and they are glorious, specially because in baja sur donkey dry meat is game: you hunt them out in the desert, you dont make machaca de burro out of an old worker donkey (okay, sometimes you probably do)...

Tl; dr: Its a desert jesuit thing...

I was the only white kid growing up in an all Hispanic neighborhood in Houston. There were many abuelitas making burritos, and I was told that the term burrito came from the fact that a rolled up tortilla looks very similar to the folded over ear of a burro (donkey).

Carnal, stop being such a chauvinist pig. Mexicans in Texas made this particular style of taco, they sold it, güeros liked them, they bought them. It became a tradition.

I really, really dont understand other mexicans that have this hypernationalistic view of food: mexicans in the US are every bit as mexican as any other. They just make do with the tastes and ingredients and inffluences of the area.

You make a fool of yourself with this line of argument.

Your burger example is perfect to show this to you: why would a gringo come tell me my chile stashed hamburguesa al carbón served with queso chihuahua and a chipotle salsa, is not a hamburger. Its my fucking interpretation of it, i used my ingredients and culture of it. They should be proud it provided me with pleasure and that ive invented something new with it.

And so should we mexicans. "Bastardization" if you want to call it derisevly like that, is a compliment of your culture: it worked for someone that didnt ever think they could like something as weird as a chile.

I don't think the issue lies with said "bastardization" so much as it lies with identifying the "bastardized" food with the non-modified version. Some people of all stripes and sizes are very picky about the names and pedigree of their culinary terms, and so to them calling that dish you described a "hamburger" would be wrong and damn near offensive. It's not even a cultural or nationalistic thing most of the time, it's just an individual quirk of people that are very exacting with their food. You find people that bitch about things like this in every culture; I know 'Murricans that go full autist over barbecue and Mexicans that go full autist over Chipotle and places like it.

Fellow KYfag here. Forgot the burgoo, kind sir.

Also, >>3781859, here is the original recipe for the hot brown:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds sliced roasted turkey
1 tomato, thinly sliced
8 slices white bread, toasted
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 slices crispy bacon
Directions

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour with a whisk or fork, and continue to cook and stir until it begins to brown slightly. Gradually whisk in the milk so that no lumps form, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Mix in 6 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and then stir in the beaten egg to thicken. Do not allow the sauce to boil once the egg has been mixed in. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream.
Preheat the oven's broiler. For each hot brown, place two slices of toast into the bottom of an individual sized casserole dish. Cover with a liberal amount of roasted turkey and tomato slices. Spoon sauce over the top of each one and sprinkle with some of the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Place the dishes under the broiler and cook until the top is speckled brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the broiler and arrange two slices of bacon in a cross shape on top of each sandwich. Serve immediately.

You probably didn't see much of it. Phoenix is pretty much a boring shithole, there are plenty of shanty towns lurking around and tons of ugly old buildings that are barred up to keep people from breaking in. The worst part about this is that there is nothing to do, and while this is true for most of the state, there's really no excuse for one of the biggest cities in America to be so barren of any culture.

Basically, Arizona is awful and you should only come here to see the Grand Canyon.

you get used to it. not phoenixfag but houstonfag, and my city is the same w having to drive everywhere. ive never lived anywhere like new york or a city with great public transit, but it just seems easier and quicker to be able to drive and get where you wanna go in 15-20 mins or less. i like being able to drive everywhere, as long as you know where you're going its quick and easy.

[Anonymous No.3785010]

>>3784991
every trip i've taken to phoenix consisted of staying in a five star resort in scottsdale while my dad was there on business, which i guess gives me a skewed perception of the actual city. scottsdale and the resorts and golf courses are very nice but i saw little of the rest of the city. i also think the mountains and desert landscape are beautiful, despite what some would think. that also increased my liking of phoenix. but yea it did seem very dry and sterile, albeit nice and clean. i'm sure living there is a much different experience than staying at the biltmore.

[Anonymous No.3785014]

>>3785001
I like being able to walk anywhere i need to go in 15-25 minutes. Within that walking time-span, there are a total of 9 supermarkets. If I add another 5-10 minutes to that, there'd be an additional 12 supermarkets for a total of 21. Not to mention that I live only a 30 minute walk from downtown/business district.
I couldn't imagine having the drive everywhere, all the time. I only drive maybe 1 day out of the week for a total of only about 2 hours that day, doing quick errands around town that wouldn't be feasible on foot. Otherwise, I hoof it.

[Anonymous No.3785034]

>>3785010

Scottsdale is the wealthy part of the city. It's incredibly expensive to live there, but I wouldn't want to anyway. Despite the wealth, there is still nothing to do except golf and all the buildings are still generic as shit. But yeah, you escape the impoverished immigrants, white trash, and old midwesterners who moved to the poor man's Florida because they couldn't handle Winter that make up the majority of the city.

Also, the landscape(see: mountains) is nice to look at for a while, but after that, you realize just how much of a barren wasteland the desert is. The worst part about the state is the goddamned Sun though. Not just the heat, but the weather condition is relentlessly sunny without a hint of clouds for 80% of the year. It's really depressing to have it glaring down at you with no remorse.

I'd kill to live in London because for all their bitching, I'm sure clouds and rain are much better than the Sun burning a hole into you for most of the year.

i guess it is just a different lifestyle, it just seems almost foreign to me and i would have to get used to it. there are neighborhoods here that are walkable, i actually live in one. grocery store is a five minute walk, corner store is a one minute walk, liquor store is a one minute walk, and there are dozens of restaurants that i can walk to in fifteen mins. but the city as a whole requires having a car. like, my job is a ten minute drive, i have friends that live fifteen mins away by car, some of the clubs i enjoy are a ten minute drive but too far to walk to. it probably takes us about the same amount of time to get around, we just need cars here because its so big.

where do you live, anon? new york?

[Anonymous No.3785039]

>>3785014

Yeah, that's completely impossible in Arizona. It can take an hour on foot to get to a supermarket here, depending on where you live. Everything here is designed for a car, so instead of having stores intermixed with housing, you have them heavily segregated.

I live at the very edge of the city and it would take less time for me to walk into the desert than it would take to walk to the local Walgreens.

Philadelphia. Cheesesteaks.

Pic related of course. I've been all around Philly and eaten hundreds of these bastards. I will let y'all in on a little secret. Best Philadelphia-style cheesesteak I've ever eaten was from a goddamn Hilton hotel in St. Agustine Florida. Mediocrity prevails around here. There are some absolutely wonderful restaurants, but its so hard to find them because it seems like every other citizen owns their own pizza parlor and sells these things. I think it was like my 50th cheesesteak and I finally found a good place. Went there twice, it was heaven. Went the 3rd time, they were out of business and a *new* cheesesteak shop had moved in (selling crap).

Really amazing how delicate all the details of these thing affect their rankings. That's why Philly natives get so pissy about Arby's using "Philly" to describe their cheesesteak (got me started on my cheesesteak fetish btw back in '99). Its an art and a science, and absolutely easy to fuck up.

Attached pic is about the average you will get. Kind of skimpy, meat probably has a rough texture, but you enjoy the bread... Its a fool's hobby questing for the perfect one.

i noticed that last time i was there. i was walking around the hotel late at night and decided i wanted a pack of cigs. since i didn't have a car i figured i'd walk to the nearest gas station, can't be more than 15 mins away, right?

wrong. i spent 30 minutes walking through a 100% residentialy zoned neighborhood before I even reached a main street with businesses on it. once I hit the main street it was another 30 minute walk to the gas station. god, i was so pissed off.

i have family that lives in westchester, i've flown their once to see them and we spent a few days in philly. when i was there i ate 2-3 cheesesteaks a day, i went fucking crazy. i had the tourist steaks from pats and genos, the local faves from tony lukes and whatnot, and a few randomly bought from shops just because they had steaks. they were all actually good, but strangely the very best i had came from a smallish antique shop/flea market just outside philly. dunno what made it so good, it was made in a tiny kitchen, like something in a corner store. but my god was it really good. i ate one there and got another to bring back with me.

Yeah, that's just how the place is set up. You'll have these vast stretches of housing and then a mile away you'll have vast stretches of shopping areas. It's impossible to walk anywhere in a reasonable amount of time, but by car it takes 10 minutes at most.

i dunno, it sucked having to walk but i'd be fine with driving everywhere in phoenix. it sort of seems logical that they would design phoenix that way. its not like you guys have cool breezes blowing in off the ocean to cool you down, and yal don't have hundreds of thousands of centuries old oaks to cover the streets and give you shade. walking anywhere in phoenix is a living hell. plus you guys have almost unlimited land to spread out on, there are no natural barriers. i think sprawl and cars works fine for phoenix, but it's not for everyone. i'd look into moving elsewhere if it really bothers you.

hope i'm not getting too off topic. i like discussing cities as much as i do food.

I buy cans of it from the interwebs, buts it not the same without that fluffy-soft cheese. The old Hungry Howies (Centerville Pizza now) Italian Calzones. They are actually nothing like a calzone, but that's the word that most closely describes it. And goddamn Godfather's Pizza in Kettering/Huber Heights.
