First, if you are not from St. Louis, don't even THINK about ordering
St. Louis Style pizza. It's made with slimy process cheese.
In Cincinnati, they put all kinds of weird shit in their chili, and it
tastes awful to nearly everyone who didn't grow up on it.
In Memphis, be aware that if you order a BBQ sandwich, they will put a
plop of coleslaw right on the sandwich if you don't tell them not to.

Anyone have other cities to add?

YES...I meant to spell it "devine"....since any ignat food critic
probably wouldn't know the difference if it were spelled "divine".

The Cuban Sandwiches in Tampa are weird. They put tomatoes and
lettuce on and they use salami instead of smoked ham.

Buncha freaks!

Cuban Americans are usually freaks. You living in Tampa?

Hi,

in memphis you should feel free to be as specific as you want when
ordering a bar-b-que at a real q place.... slaw on the side, sauce on
the side, half chopped/half pulled for example...

and in most of texas bar-b-que is often brisket... I get it sliced
myself and love it.

The problem is, if you don't know that the default is to get that plop
of slaw, then we cabbage haters are unpleasantly surprised. Hence, the
warning.

As do I, and in TX the wood used is often mesquite, which I find less
appealing than hickory. My favorite thing about TX is the Mexican food
I got at a mercado y taqueria in North Dallas. My least favorite,
Bush, DeLay, TX Republicans in general.

Cornish pasties made anywhere outside Cornwall always have carrot and
minced beef in them. Satan's pasties! Correct ingredients: beef steak
(usually chuck), onion/leak, turnip (what everyone else seems to call
swede), potato, salt, pepper.

Ginsters pasties seem to be 'correct' in that regard. Used to eat
stacks of them (the shop across the road from me would always have
loads that were just about to go out of date and they'd sell them
three for a quid in the evening)...

Awful pasties! No one, and I mean no one in Cornwall eats those
*******ing things. If you ever come down I'll buy you a proper one.

Pizza up here is sometimes the Greek style with a slightly thicker
crust and prefab feel as opposed to a flat Italian style.

There's the difference between Manhattan and New England clam
chowder.

Lobster rolls can either be warm w/ butter or more often cold
mixed with mayo and sometimes celery.

Clam cakes in Rhode Island aren't like crabcakes, they're a fried
dough ball with minimal bits of clam in it.

A milk shake in Massachusetts has no ice cream, you must order
a frappe. Not sure if it's still as prevelant but I remember
ordering my first milk shake in Boston and being shocked at
what I got.

I put coleslaw in my pulled pork sandwiches when I make them. But I
guess everyone really ought to pull their own pork.

My warning is to Candians travelling in the States. Nobody puts vinegar
on their fries, especially not white vinegar. Now when I travel I carry
a supply of the little packets you get with fast food. Sue says I'm in
touch with my inner Grandma.

The Arthur Treachers Fish and Chips chain used to have bottles of malted
vinegar available. Here in Memphis, TN, we don't have Arthur Treachers.
Instead we have Captain D's which does serve fish and chips, southern
US style. I vaguely recall seeing Long John Silvers here, but according
to wikipedia, some merger took place. I do recall Captain D's offering
the vinegar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Treacher's

Since you asked...

I recommend steering clear of Balut* in Manila or just about anywhere in
the Philippines. Don't know how often any of you will travel to the
Philippines though. Been there, done that.

* the egg with legs!
