I thought this was interesting. Apparently the French Dip Sandwich, the hot fudge sundae, and the Cobb salad were all invented in Los Angeles. They also mention Chili Burgers. I’ve been many times to the place mentioned in the article, Tommy’s. They are well-known for their chili burgers. Some of the dishes mentioned I wonder about - Cheeseburger. No one else invented a cheeseburger?? ericbrightwell.com/2022/02/15/foods-invented-in-los-angeles/So, what dishes were invented in your city/state? |

Right off the top of my head, New Haven style pizza and hot lobster rolls.
ETA: Duh, the hamburger was also invented in New Haven, at Louis' Lunch, which is still in business.

Nothing, my Google search comes up with the local food bank, or somewhere else in the country with the same name...
My state: Cosmic Crisp applies, Rainier cherries, Walla Walla onions, Applets and Cotlets, and the Frappuccino.

Google tells me that Virginia is responsible for bbq, mac and cheese, ice cream, and fried chicken. I guess I was destined to live here because mac and cheese, and ice cream are two of my favorite things. lol

I don’t know where it was invented, but it seems like a lot of folks in other parts of the country have not heard of wedding soup, which is a regional favorite here.
Johnny Marzetti is an Ohio dish, I think. At least, that’s what I have been told.
Ham loaf-sort of like meat loaf- is an Ohio/western Pa dish.
ETA: I forgot about buckeyes! Yum!

The Bobbie, a sub stuffed with slow-roasted turkey smothered in cranberry sauce and topped with handmade stuffing and mayo. The sandwich was invented by Capriotti's here in Delaware.
Scrapple, although we can’t lay claim to inventing it my little state is the largest producer of scrapple in the world.

From Alberta, I can think of the Ceasar drink, ginger beef, puffed wheat squares. Anything with saskatoons is popular in the prairie provinces, saskatoon pie, saskatoon jam.

The Juicy Lucy originated in Minnesota as well.
We have a lot of iconic Minnesota foods, but I don’t know how many of them actually originated here.

~summer~ beat me to it, but I was going to say Trader Vic Bergeron invented not only the mai tai but many other delish tropical-flavored drinks that will knock you flat on your ass if you aren’t careful.

So, who was first??  I remember these! They were really popular for awhile. I googled, an supposedly teriyaki chicken originated here in Seattle. I heard it was Hawaii, but who knows. Fun thread to read! I forgot how American Chinese food pretty much came from San Francisco! I know the fortune cookie was invented in S.F. |

Honeycrisp apples were developed at the University of Minnesota.
Also Pearson Candy, which makes Nut Goody Bars and Salted Nut Rolls.

I’m going to chánge my answer to Oregon. |

The first ever Egg McMuffin was served at a McDonalds in Santa Barbara. There’s a plaque and everything. Bet that’s not what you expected from a hoity-toity place like Santa Barbara! |

Did your area have a lot of German immigrants? Wedding soup is fairly well known in the part of Germany where I live - it even comes in cans! I live in Munich. Weißwurst - fresh, white veal sausages - were invented here, in a bierhall that still exists and still sells them, but only before midday, as that is the tradition (being a fresh product, before refrigeration, they would spoil by lunchtime, so are eaten for breakfast) There are a lot of other 'local' specialties, but whether they were invented here, or just became popular, is hard to know, given how old the history of some of these things are. |
