Some examples include:
Chicago-style hot dog - soft, poppy-seed bun topped with a frankfurter, layered with yellow mustard, nuclear-green relish, onions, tomato wedges, pickle spear, peppers and celery salt. It's considered more of a snack than a meal to natives and should be consumed sans ketchup.
Cincinnati-style chili - This distinctive breed of chili is so popular in Cincinnati that there are parlors dedicated to it —chili parlors, that is. The Cincinnati version of chili tends to be a sweeter, soupier dish than traditional non- Ohio chilis. It's served with noodles and is distinguished by spices such as cinnamon or chocolate.
Indianapolis Breaded pork tenderloin sandwich - Hoosiers love their pork, and they love it deep-fried.
Omaha Reuben sandwich - Omaha stakes its claim on this pickled delight, which involves corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing on rye bread.
