1. "Chicago: Italian beef" In response to Reply # 0
When people think about chicago-centric comfort food, they usually think about deep-dish or chicago style hot dogs, but the Italian beef sammich with giardinera is easily one of the best sammiches in the US.

Now that Al's bullshit that is all over the country looks nasty as shyt, but yeah it's some real good Italian Beef. I like the pulled pork and similarly simmered beef sandwiches we got in Philly, but the Chicago ones have their own style that seems tough to duplicate.

2. "Boston: North Shore roast beef sandwiches" In response to Reply # 0
I live here, have eaten them my entire life and still never got sick of them. Boston should have a bigger reputation for these things. Get it 3-way (cheese, mayo, bbq sauce) and you'll want 10 more.

Kelly's is definitely an "example" of North Shore roast beef and probably the most known name for tourists and people outside the city, but yea there are many better places for this style of roast beef. Harrison's is good, Giovanni's has a good one. Liberty Bell in Southie (which just closed, but I know they have a location elsewhere just not sure where) is excellent...etc. Brother's in Quincy is really good, too. Most of the mom and pop joints are the best places for this kind of beef. But Kelly's isn't bad, by any means. Just doesn't rank high on my list.

Almost ANY local breakfast spot really...
DVS knows what's up with Bro. Juniper's lol, and just tried out City East Bagels last month and definitely will be going again soon, and Renee's Sandwich Shop downtown, has always been my spot for something quick and good.

I saw some, a couple of weeks ago, on the eastern shore of Virginia. Too far from Baltimore to have brought any back with me. The banana pudding and butter pecan flavors are my favorite.
83. "some of the stuff is super elaborate, too" In response to Reply # 32
big ass racks of ribs and shit like that. nice selection there.
temple has food trucks too but most of them suck. that crepe one run by the greek cats is fucking amazing though. so much food for $5 or less. you could be stuck on campus all day, eat one of those and be good from 10 AM to 10 PM.

34. "Tampa - Deviled crabs " In response to Reply # 0
After living in Tampa almost ten years I did not realize that deviled crabs were just a Tampa thing! Lol
Basically it's a breaded ball of crab meat, peppers, and spices. It's so damn good!! I usually get mine from a place called Brocato's, which is a well known sandwich spot.
My folks have loved them for years. They're from Georgia but the old man was stationed in Tampa for a couple of years. I wonder if they learned to make them here?

Because that's where my folks are from. They were born & raised there. They lived in Tampa later on in life. If I remember, I'll ask my Mom where she picked them up.
Although it wouldn't be crazy for something like that to migrate up the coast.

63. "I stopped reading at Golden Krust, fam." In response to Reply # 61
I'm kidding but really, you're missing out on really good food. You're in the Bronx already. Might as well go up to White Plains Road and get you something.
But do you

I'm glad this is something that hasnt caught on, and I'm glad you can really only get the best ones in Kansas City. Not sure if they do them in Texas but theyre the only other place that loves beef as much as Kansas City does.....
