how do you feel about cincy/skyline chili A_I_A

i like it tbh, used to eat chili with noodles when i was a kid.

Meh, Chili is something everybody in ohio has. I'm old school...give me some beans, cheese, and jalapenos on top and I'm all good.

I would not avoid skyline, but definitely would not be my first plan.

Legends in Cleveland has great chili

This is more my style.

Bet those crab cakes are fire though

They're pretty damn good as well as the ham and peanuts.

But on paper it just looks so bland haha

There are 20 places to get a burger withing a 2 mile radius of my office. Not a single noodle or Thai place.

This area sucks unless you want to eat a fucking burger every meal.

I always get it without the tomato, which is a waste of space on this burger. Their chili is amazing.

Bacon wrapped hot dogs. You come out of a show at Staples Center, the Hollywood Bowl or some other big venue, you're guaranteed to find these.

Taco trucks. Some of these trucks quietly put out some of the best Mexican food in the city. It's hit or miss, so it's best to find a truck with a good reputation.

Why would one wish to ignore the food carts?

We do have a lot of Vietnamese as well, especially in the Jade District. I would say new American gastro pubs though are the big thing Portland right now. Places like American Local come to mind, but really you can find a good to great representation of almost every kind of food, it's just a food city!

yeah you guys are just posting what's popular in your area. post what's unique. like I remember going to Chinese places on the west coast and they didn't have crab rangoons. selling Chinese food in stl without crab rangoons is unthinkable. like you might as well not have rice or some shit. I've also heard other areas don't have pork steaks, but damn if everyone here doesn't love them.

We're not like that. We're an international food hub. There's nothing wholly unique about Houstonian. Plus, Esch said shit food. In order to have shit signature food, you have to have signature food to begin with, so it's even harder to come up with an answer. Our signature food is literally tex mex. Literally. That, bbq, mexican, and cajun. None of those things are unique to Houston.
