Dude I live in STL and our style of pizza isn't the clear favorite even here.

Chicago style dogs are a personal favorite

I also enjoy pasties from Upper Michigan

>>20513858
I didn't ask which one was not your favorite.
>>20513862
good picks

>>20513851
For me, it's the 'go 'za.

>>20513858
STL here, agreed. North County pizza was great (Ponticellos, Cusamanos, Sallous) but those are all gone now. BJ's still makes good stl style, Serras in Maryland Heights. My favorite pizza in town is at La Pizza in U city

>>20513851
Anon, I have no use for that area. I don't leave the east coast.

>>20513875
didn't ask

>>20513876
Like anyone gives a DARN what you did or didn't do. I bring up the east coast every single regional thread. Get fucked, boyo

>>20513881
didn't ask

>>20513868
La Pizza would also be one of my go-tos

>>20513875
>Pennsylvania isn't on the coast
Philadelphia is a port city.

>>20513894
You're retarded. Philly is a port city the same way St. Louis is.

Skyline chilli dog.

>>20513895
Believe it or not, STL is the 2nd biggest port city in the US...behind LA.

>>20513905
Yeah, I know. That doesn't mean Missouri has a coastline lmao

>>20513905
(Non sea) I forgot to add

>>20513851
Tater tots with melted cheese on top.

>>20513912
... oops I almost forgot, chopped onions and a chopped chile pepper on top of the tots and melted cheese,

>>20513932
put all of that on top of a burger and a slice of texas toast

>>20513938
Yup that can work, also on top of nachos.

>>20513851
Cincinnati's in that pic... Gonna have to have a 4-way onions from Blue Ash Chili tonight.

Top 5 for me are
>Detroit-style pizza
>Chicago hot dog
>Tenderloin sandwich
>Italian beef sandwich
>Skyline chili

For me, it's toasted raviolis. I make em myself! The possibilities are endless, as far as fillings go. My go to is sausage and mozzarella cheese. I serve this with marinara sauce, keep it simple. I tell you, my cousin owns a restaurant where they serve these. The locals love it. It's a simple recipe. Just toss the raviolis in some breadcrumbs, pan fry in oil.

>>20514069
do I need to use frozen ravioli so it maintains its shape or can I use fresh?

>>20514070
either works, but the fresh will cook faster than frozen

if you have any problems, try brushing the ravioli in eggwash before breading them

>>20514076
I figured that was a given; how would the breadcrumbs stick without egg?

>>20514078
eh, a few might stick because of water, but yeah. its pretty much a given

>>20513858
I have relatives in St. Louis and I always feel like they're pranking me when they claim to actually like the velveeta crackers. It might be the worst pizza in America.

>>20513851
I’m likely heading to Cleveland and Dayton later this week, any good places to look at?

>>20513851
Whole lotta hotdish gets eaten here.

>>20514170
Minnesotans are so fucking retarded holy shit. The whole country makes that tasty type of casserole, but the difference is we're not a bunch of hinga dinga bork bork bork Swedish incompetents with dumbfuck accents and goofy ways of speaking, so we don't call them a Britain-tier babby talk name like "hot dish."

the GOAT

>>20514344
I sucked him right in his cock area.

>>20514344
Boomers ruined the economy and now houses cost half a million dollars but they are so proud of their 7 dollar giant sandwich.

>>20514386
Wouldn't you be?

>>20513851
I miss coneys from Detroit, I also miss when Buddie's was good and not a soulless corporate chain restaurant. What I miss the most though is almond boneless chicken, no one has made it right outside of the midwest.

>>20514089
Imos? Not many places use provel around here anymore.

Ground beef, cream of mushroom soup and canned corn baked in a pan with tater tots on top.

>>20513851
Maytag blue cheese, the pride of Iowa.

>>20513851
I got to try St Louis style pizza when I was on a road trip a couple months ago. It was tasty and I'd get it again.

>>20513851
>What are your favorite foods from the true heart of America?

Detroit Polack checking in, though I've heard it was originally a Pennsylvania thing.

>>20516837
I just can't fathom the fact Americans are overpaying for their own cheese, that's $36 per kg, not too far from something similar imported.

True Beer Brats, and Fried Curds as a side.

>>20517542
If it's an actually good cheese, that's not a crazy price. You're buying them in small pieces for a treat, not huge blocks for grating onto food about to go in the oven.

italians don't exist there

>>20514344
Indiana just does this sandwich like no one else. Hell yeah.

>>20518642
Are you fucking retarded?

>>20518714

>literally all of it is German, Dutch and Italian
Is there any original american food

>>20518898
Corn

>>20519742
Raw?

>>20520320
Fresh sweet corn right off the stalk is one of the greatest things ever. Just give it a quick rinse and dig in.

>>20518898
Meatloaf

I moved to the Midwest a few months ago. Do I have to make casseroles to fit in? Any special insider info so I don't make a faux pas?

>>20518825
Even more popular in Michigan, especially metro Detroit.

>>20518825
Go to Coney Island in Fort Wayne. They make the best coney dogs I’ve ever had.

I thought the "white people can't handle the spice" meme was just made up until I lived in Minnesota for a few years. It's the most bizarre state I've ever lived in. The Twin Cities are basically a big hick town LARPing as a metropolis. I lived in Omaha for a few years, and the average person there was more sophisticated than the average Minnesotan. Omaha isn't known for adventurous eating, but compared to Minnesota the palates are incredibly sophisticated.

This is a typical Minnesota hotdish (their term for casserole)
https://www.nelliebellie.com/tater-tot-hotdish-recipe/
>1 lbs ground beef
>2 cans cream of mushroom soup
>1 cup corn
>1 cup peas and carrots mixed veggies
>1 pkg tater tots
>1 large onion
>1 cup cheddar cheese optional

Notice how there's not even black pepper in it?

Do not put any black pepper in your hot dish, it'll be too much for most Minnesotans. If for some reason you decide to put a few red pepper flake in it, you'll have people fanning their mouths to try to cool the heat and talking about it behind your back for weeks. Things like breakfast sausage and pepperoni have too much heat for a many of them. A sale on Campbell's condensed "Cream of ____" soups is practically considered a holiday.

I’ve never had any of these listed and I frequented MI and OH.

philly is east coast tho

>>20517001
Why is a dish with no chicken called city chicken?

>>20513851
The wet burrito. Yes, from the Midwest. Grand Rapids.

>>20520904
For the same reason a dish called "long pork" contains no pork

>>20513894
>>20520692
Philly's port is on the Delaware River, you fucking maplets

>>20520917
I knew a guy from Michigan who told me about the wet burrito. He could never really explain how it was much different from the enchilada, but he insisted that it was, specifically the sauce. What's so special about the wet burrito sauce?

>>20521117
It looks pretty comfy to me

>>20521117
new orleans is also on a river

>>20520904
>Why is a dish with no chicken called city chicken?

Dunno, it just is and it's fucking great. My Polish godmother would make it all the time, though for some reason, my Polish mom never did?
