It could be regional, state, something within your family, etc. Even a favorite local establishment may offer something that sticks out to you.

Here is some freshly roasted New Mexican green chile (photos taken during peeling in the Fall chile season). Specifically, these are the Big Jim variety. They are famous for being HUGE, with lots of meat, and medium heat level with a bit of sweetness (like me). Good on/in everything, but especially pizza, cheeseburgers, meatloaf, pasta, stews, etc. Those pictured below were subdivided into smaller portions, vacuum sealed, and frozen for use the rest of the year. I had about 8 trays like this one.
I also sent some back east for the family.

Cold water walleye out of Chautauqua Lake. My BIL is a ice fisherman and catches the most delicious fish I have ever had. Invites use up for to die for fish dinners a couple times over the winter.

Same as the OP, but Pueblo chilis. No doubt the specialty of the area.

We roasted, peeled, vacuum sealed and froze several packages of green Chili’s from the garden over the summer and fall.

We cook with them often.

Oklahoma Onion Burger.

Best burger ever.

It's been around since the Great Depression.

It was invented as a way to stretch the meat, save cost, and add a bit more volume to the size of the patty.

The critical thing is that the onion must be sliced very thin, and I mean thin. Not quite paper thin.

The onions are put down first and the cooking process started, the the burger meat is smashed down onto the grill to cover the onions.

Many people and places claim to cook an Oklahoma Onion Burger but they don't do it well, again the key is to have the onions sliced super thin.

If you're ever going through Oklahoma on I-40, stop in El Reno (25 miles west of OKC). There are several places open that have been in business and serving OOB's for many many decades and they do them right. Sid's Onion Burgers, established in the 1930's, is arguably the best.

Place up in Springs called Crave used to serve an onion burger. Served it with this super rich French onion soup as a dip. Holy cow that was the best burger I ever had. Of course it was discontinued.

I make smashburgers on my griddle often, so I'll have to try this. It sounds amazing. I can get the onions super thin with a mandolin slicer.

Fried Mullet. Mullet netted in the Pensacola area have white meat; not the gray, greasy shit. They say this is because of the sandy bay bottoms. Had some for lunch at the Coffee Cup Friday. Yum.

Pizza, specifically New Haven style pizza. It is widely considered the best pizza in the country. I have the 3 top pizzarias in the country within a 15 minute drive.
If you’re ever in the area try either sally’s, modern, or Pepe’s you won’t be disappointed

Try getting into Chet's around lunchtime! Lines out to the road every day.

Used to be anyway when I last was living and working on Navy Blvd. That was 10 years ago though.





11 years to retirement! Just waiting!

Grew up in SoFla and only the poor folks ate mullet there. Never would have thought it was a delicacy somewhere. Very cool.


Local delicacy in (Eastern) NC is of course pork BBQ with spicy vinegar-based "sauce".


My parents are from Detroit (I was born there but moved to FL when I was 3) used to talk about driving to (Hamtramck) for paczki ("push-key" or "poonch-key" which is plural) - jelly-filled pastries Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras is called Paczki Day in Detroit. Ive never had one but they are supposed to be amazing.
