What are some of the local favorite foods from where you are from that just isn't the same anywhere else?

Rep Power: 10 | Beef and noodles. Most people think stroganoff, but here we will take a beef roast in chunks with buttered noodles in the broth from the meat. Very tasty. |

Rep Power: 10 | In my experience, outside of Chicagoland you just can't get a good Italian Beef.

Rep Power: 10 | It use to be like here until they opened up Michael's. The man who owns it use to live in Chicago and brought the recipe with him.
Before this opened, I use to order it on-line from Vienna Beef/Lou Malnati's Pizzeria. In fact, I still order the Lou's pizzas. Not quite as good as being there, but pretty close.

Rep Power: 10 | There's a little shop in Kenosha run by a guy from Chicago, but his beef still not the same. And they'll put cheese on it! Sacrilege!

Rep Power: 10 | It's Wisconsin, home of the cheeseheads...everything has cheese on it. We use to live there back in the early 70's.

Rep Power: 10 | If they put cheese on it doesn't it become more like a Philly Cheesesteak?

Rep Power: 10 | Probably. But when they bill it as Italian Beef its evil.
