We have one chick fil a here. ONE. And it's in the middle of tourist central so I will not go. So I'm slowly learning to live without it, but it's hard. The struggle is real here in Chicago...real. :(

There is a authentic gyro place at the main train station that we always eat at. If I had to guess what manna (food from God) tasted like, that would be it! When the cucumber sauce runs down your arm. Smh

Well if you ever come to Mexico you have to try real tacos not that Taco Bell kind of "tacos", we don't eat those haha the real tacos are in a soft not crunchy tortilla, and they don't have lots of lettuce and avocado and cheese, you have to try real tacos they're the best.

In the north we have cabrito which is goatling also we eat lots of carne asada.

If you ever go to cancun you HAVE to go to puerto madero, it's actually an Argentinian restaurant but they have the best seafood ever lol

There's also gorditas, burritos, tamales and nieve de garrafa

About chick fil a we don't have any here :( so I only eat chick fil a about four times a year :( haha it's sad and a real struggle

Being 1/4 Mexican I LOVE LOVE LOVE traditional food! I need to visit the country sometime and have good there. My great aunts love to cook so its the closest I get whenever I go to California
 
You can try the vinegar based sauce or the tomato based sauce or the mustard based sauce or the white sauce. Very different but all good.

.

What's white sauce in bbq??? I thought I knew everything there was to know about bbq (eating it not making it :oops: )

In Maine everyone and their mother drinks Alan's Coffee Brandy. It's only sold in NH, Vermont, Maine area. If you're over 21 and go up here you gotta try it out it's very popular. Also the whoopie pies in Maine are yummmmmy, lobster of course and fresh blueberries. A little chinese restaurant in my town makes the BEST crab rangoons I've ever tasted. So happy that it's in my town haha.

There is a new burger joint in a city near me called 5 Guys is this a common thing everywhere? I've never heard of it till they came to Bangor. Anyway, if you love spicy try the cajun fries.

Five Guys is amazing! I know they have it in most places in Florida. I believe it's also all over the US. Here's a store list by state from their website: Store List by State | Five Guys Burgers and Fries
 
Oh when I went to Florida we ate at this restaurant called Bahama Breeze. It's kinda like a tropical Applebee's. SO GOOD.

Double post but Bahama Breeze is pretty good! It's not super popular around my area but it's good if you want something that's not fast food but not a big sit-down restaurant
 
If you're in Chicago....

Italian Beef sandwich (dipped! Gotta get it dipped)

Chicago Style Hot Dog (all beef hot dog, onions, relish, tomato, pickle, celery salt and mustard - no ketchup under any circumstances!)

Chicago Style Pizza (Lou Malnati's is my personal fave!)

OMG visited Chicago for the first time and totally agree about the Italian Beef and the Pizza! and I'm a New Yorker that's pretty hard to please!
Love me some Chi Town grub!!

To much food in NY to mention it all but I will say authentic pastrami on rye from a good Jewish Deli is like no other thing you have ever eaten!
also good pizza and bagels are a staple. I also like that there are so many different ethnic foods that you can try o many different things and not get bored.

I know I'm posting soooo much on this thread, but I'm sorry, I really love food... :wasntme:
Five Guys may be my most favorite thing in the world. The burgers are amazing, the fries are totally HEAVEN, and my favorite thing: THE SODA MACHINES. They have absolutely everything in their soda machines: they have peach Sprite!!! Any soda flavor imaginable, it's there.
 
Ewww I hate Nandos :p. I'm not sure it's traditional English food either. Give me a nice roast dinner with yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes any day.

And real British Fish and Chips with proper big chunky chips. And mushy peas.
Definetley fish and chips... as an American couldn't do the mushy peas or vinegar, but hey I now make "chip butties" (French fries on a buttered roll) dipped in gravy! yum yum
