a because spoils and a spoils - zeitgeist Jul 3, 13:33 1
- ahem, NY pizza trumps NY steak. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:35
D, C? -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:29 27
- This is correct (loosi got D right, Tru got the second C right) -- nm - Roger More Jul 3, 13:33 26
  - If C was on it, they'd just be pandering. - spamlet Jul 3, 14:04
  - I was about to add that poi might be "the best" at representing; but, lo, it being the best tasting is another thing, esp. the fermented variety -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:36 1
    - musubi! (or Hawaiian pork) -- nm - Roger More Jul 3, 13:41

    - Who puts onions on a Beef sandwich? I think they got the picture wrong. -- nm - spamlet Jul 3, 14:05 1
      - Not entirely sure that's a pic of an Italian Beef. No giardiniera. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:11
    - Fried Cheese Curds?! At least it's cheese. - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 13:38
    - Pastrami? Okay. I would have guessed pizza but pastrami is good choice. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:36 18
      - how do you pick? there's also bagels, hot dogs, Manhattan clam chowder. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:37 17
        
        Manhattan clam chowder is the tomato-based one, right? - kelly Jul 3, 13:45 6
        
        yes. on the base. -- nm - peglegpete Jul 3, 13:50
        
        Both of them come from RI, IIRC. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:47 4
        
        Manhattan could be from both. It was made both here and there and there's no proof of where it was invented first. - Krusty Jul 3, 14:06 3
        
        wiki says it was originally done by Portuguese in Rhode Island, and it was given the "Manhattan" name as an insult -- (link) - Roger More Jul 3, 14:08 2
        
        This article says mid 1800's by Italians and Portuguese in NY and R.I. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 14:15 1
        
        Oops. Linky... -- (link) - Krusty Jul 3, 14:15
        
        Bagels and hot dogs are great choices as well. I've never had clam chowder but my understanding is N.E. is much better. - Krusty Jul 3, 13:39 9
        
        Chicago Red Hots are better. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 13:43 6
        
        Too much stuff on those. It's like a salad on a hot dog. - Krusty Jul 3, 14:01 5
        
        Garden in a bun. And you don't have to put them all on at once. As long as you don't put ketchup on your dog. - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:08 4
        
        The usual toppings like pepperoni or sausage but rarely do people get a lot of toppings. - Krusty Jul 3, 14:14 3
        
        We usually get one topping beside the sauce and cheese. Even on the deep dish. And ketchup on a dog? Yuck. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:23 2
        
        I was agreeing with you about the ketchup. Never! I only use mustard. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 14:27 1
        
        Aah,, got it. Misread that. Sorry. And mustard for me. Along with onions and tomatos. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:28
        
        manhattan isn't really from NY anyway. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:43 1
        
        See above, it might be. Hard to know where it started first. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 14:06
On, B&D. Off, C&D -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:25
