#982 Hometown foods in other places

Oh really random truck stop in the middle of Indiana, you sell a Philadelphia cheesesteak? I assure you that you do not.

Oh, neat! New England clam chowder all the way over here in California. No. That's just clam chowder in California.

Oh, how about that, Chicago deep dish pizza, right here in nowheresville, Texas. Yeah, no.

It wouldn't be slightly annoying, it actually might actually be slightly enjoyable, if these hometown foods were replicated correctly and deliciously, but of course they are not. Our hometowns become slightly disgraced a little more each time someone orders our favorite hometown dish. I say we boycott any food name that has a city name preceding it, but I'm sure there's already a radical group of food lovers out there somewhere doing that right now. We support you!

It's just slightly annoying.
