elsa1688

My home state is NC so biscuits for all (the only good ones I can get up here in CT are my own homemade) and Eastern NC vinegar based barbecue.

I lived in Eastern NC for four years, my dad still lives there and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the BBQ! It's the best! White swan and Smithfield's can't be beat :-) can you bring some hushpuppies too? Now I'm having withdrawals, lol.

I'm from WI so I guess I can go with the typical beer and cheese? How about some Leinenkugal's and fresh cheese curds! Woot!

ETA- quote fail... sorry!

Mommy23Munchkins how about some Taylor Ham right on your doorstep! Happy shopping!

Hot fudge sundaes,chews and pastries. My hometown has the best food and desserts. Disney wanted to buy the ice cream shop but they refused preferring to keep it a local family business.  It is amazing.

I'm from the Buffalo NY area so I'd have to bring chicken wings!!!! They are the best and you can't get them as good anywhere else!! Oh and beef on weck is a Buffalo favorite, soooo good! I also make a mean chicken wing dip!!

mschware

I live in Hershey, so I would bring lots of fresh chocolates

lclark79

I grew up in Jersey and miss the bagels and pizza. Live in Atlanta now and all they have are rolls with holes and doughy crap they call pizza. I guess being down here now I'd bring biscuits, grits, and maybe broccoli slaw.

PinkKEL9

I'm in CT and we are known for our pizza around here!! Yummm.

cncrod722

Living in the LA area it really is a melting pot of every type of ethnic food you can think of. So I guess I would go very LA specific and just bring the Super Dodger Dog (its an all beef vs the regular one), the Doyer Dog (nacho cheese, chili, pico de gallo and jalapeños), and I guess I could swing by the In N Out across the street and pick up half regular style and half animal style. Sorry but I'd have to leave the protein style behind. A Real burger is never wrapped in lettuce!

Julie&Micah

Also from WA state, so I second bringing some fresh salmon! How about some fresh fish and chips? (I want this now for lunch, mmmmm) I'm in SW WA, so very close to Portland. We've got tons of amazing brewpubs. I'll bring some good beer and Voodoo doughnuts!

Julie&Micah

Oh also, I grew up in Pittsburgh. So whoever is bringing the Primantis sandwiches and smile cookies, bring lots! This thread is making me hungry!

Yes please bring the voodoo doughnuts! I request the bacon maple bar!

MissBHaven1024

Some type of seafood. Puget Sound has a huge selection of fresh seafood. I would also bring coffee, as a nod to Starbuck's originating here!

megzep

New England clam chowdah from captain Parker's on cape cod. And some Sam Adams brewskis. Lol

Yeah I was going to say beans but I don't need the uncomfortable gas that comes with them. Plus very unappetizing at this time. You could grab some harpoon beer. Love the Celtic ale

Cock 'n' balls for me, please!

Oh man... What I wouldn't do for some NY bagels and cheesecake right now.... Yummy! In true Maritime Canadian fashion I'd bring some lobster, blueberries, and poutine to the party. I've had lobster twice in the last two weeks and it is SO sweet 'n' tasty this season (that or being pregnant makes it extra delicious, either way those sea spiders had a party on my taste buds)

bebemac

Since my WA peeps have the seafood covered, this Oregon girl will bring the Portland food carts. All of them.

From where I live, definitely cheesesteak and Tastykakes.

i'll bring the soft pretzels

LilyGracesMommy

Chicken wings!
Buffalo native here & they would be duffs not anchor bar

Shineoncrazy

I split my time between home base in Dallas and school in Austin, sO:

Corn dogs and fried oreos from the state fair

Bar-b-que from Franklins

Kolaches from West, Tx

Tamales (authentic) and handmade tortillas

@lalala8 I would be the jerk who eats all the breakfast tacos!

Marijuana.

Apparently it is good here.

Also poutine and beer.

We may need some weed to eat all of this

Whose bringing the In-N-Out Burger?!  I would also take a lobster roll and blueberry pancakes from Maine. 

I can bring In-N-Out. I have a good handful to choose from all within an hour from me :P

Just let me know if you like it regular or animal style!

Runningmomfam

I really want to try a NYC bagel now! I've never had one I think I would bring wild rice chicken soup from mn

Omg voodoo donuts...I'm salivating.

I'm currently in Houston, so I would bring some Texas BBQ. However, all the PA foods being mentioned are making me want to take a trip back home.

Jennylou0604

I'm from Louisiana so lots of gumbo and we'd have to have a major crawfish boil with beer.

MrsAMB07

I don't know if it was taken already, but I'd bring some real pizza. (Not that Papa Johns/Dominoes garbage) and maybe some salt and vinegar boardwalk fries or saltwater taffy. Some good hard rolls for lunch, to go along with the bagels for breakfast.

Edit: Read the whole thread, of course pizza was taken because it's amazing. Forgot about the pork roll/taylor ham (Central Jersey Shore area - either one goes) I'd take you all to a diner at 2 am for anything you could want. I'd go for the cheese fries myself. I dare you to find more, or better, diners.

Edit 2: @supgabs What's "hotdish"? Is that like a casserole?

arekeweg

I grew up in Indiana so if I was brining a native dish, it'd be a Breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwich.  @jmar2011, corn is an Indiana thing too but the BPT sandwich is also very popular.

Now that I'm in Iowa, I'd be brining any type of food you can put on a stick and loose meat sandwiches (Maid-Rite).  Pork Tenderloins and Corn are big here too but I'll leave those for Indiana.

Katieluc106

Sam Adams and baked beans!

SaraT717

I'll bring some Tillamook cheese and local oregon wine.
And maybe some dungeness crab!

crestedlady

Being from Alabama, I would have to bring along some Dreamland BBQ ribs and possibly some roasted peanuts.

I think I love you! Haha. Creepy internet hugs to you!!!!!

Here in Arkansas we have a lot of southern comfort foods. Right now I'm feeling warm peach cobbler and ice cream so that's what I would bring

Tdonatoni said: Savvy122 said: Oh my gosh you guys, I'm so hungry after reading this thread!

I'm a Pittsburgh gal, so I'll bring homemade pierogies and some chipped ham BBQ.  Oh and Primanti's sandwiches for everyone!

I worked with a girl that moved from the Pittsburgh area to the west coast.  Pierogies and Primanti's sandwisches are all I would ever hear about.  One day, I will have one of those sandwiches!
In So Cal, so either fish tacos and tamales or some fresh citrus from the groves near my house.  



DH went to college in Pittsburgh. One homecoming weekend we went out and I tried one of the sandwiches. They were pretty awesome!

@shineoncrazy I'm a total tortilla snob! Have to be freshly made. And isn't Franklin's completely worth the hype? We've waited in that crazy line twice. Really, it's the best brisket I can recall eating.

YAY for other Texans! I've only had Franklins leftovers at this point, but sometime in the next month I plan to stand in line. If you're ever in Austin, we can be line buddies! 

I'm totally craving tortillas this trimester, but I'm having trouble finding the best fresh ones. Nothing is hitting the spot right now!

Missib55

Don't know if someone beat me to it, from Detroit area, I'll bring coney dogs and faygo rock and rye to wash it down
