Southern Switzerland: polenta (with its many variations and condiments), spezzatino (stewed small pieces of beef), braised beef, risotto (saffron or mushrooms are most typical), luganiga sausage (it has a bit of cinnamom in it and it's a thin sausage in a spiral), panettone (for christmas), grilled pork ribs (it's a different cut from the american ones), various kinds of salami and cheese, merlot wine, a lemon soda pop (gazosa, basically ginger ale with lemon instead of ginger).
Then there's all the swiss plates not originally from here.

At local festivals and public events where food is served the typical food cooked en masse with huge pots are yellow (100% corn) polenta and spezzatino or saffron risotto and luganiga sausage or bread/potato salad and grilled pork ribs.
At the local fisherman festival they also serve polenta with cod (I guess it's traditional because salted cod has been available since before fridges were a thing).

and sauerkraut with thanksgiving dinner


I remember going crab picking (or whatever the right verb is) and then putting them in pot with a bit of sea water on a propane burner. Steamed on the beach.

Picking is eating the meat out of the shell. Trapping or netting is what you mean.

Besides crab this is popular

I guess Maryland is just known for their blue crabs. Maryland blue crabs are overrated as shit too, such a huge pain in the ass to eat. I'd much rather eat Alaskan King Crag legs over MD blue crabs.

But everyone I know who has lived in the area and moved away always says they cannot find any Peruvian Chicken places where they live, and we have tons and tons of those around here, all slightly different than eachother due to seasoning and the sauces. My friends that moved to San Diego, when they come to visit, actually fly back with Peruvian Chicken in their luggage so they can enjoy a meal or two when at home. The wife flew here a few months ago and brought some back for her husband to eat. I was surprised to hear that a place with such a spanish influence as San Diego did not have any Peruvian Chicken places. I guess it's because it's mainly Mexican influence there. But I also know people who moved to Florida near Miami, and they can't find it there either.
 
Being that it's Wisconsin...cheese, cheese, more cheese, some beer, and also cheese. Deep-fried. I'm from one of NYC's Chinatowns and this place is seriously jarring...thankfully there are "ethnic" markets nearby and I know what to do at them.
Also Brats.
 
I live in shity CO, as in shit food. Perhaps we are famous for burritos and Rocky Mountain oysters? But only a damn back woods hick would eat Rocky Mountain oysters.

Chicago has the best food! I could eat Chicago hot dogs, Italian beefs and gyros everyday!

If you can move out of your parents basement, there is nothing keeping you in this terrible place.

Denver has the worst food. Might as well be living in Canada.
