LOCAL AMERICAN FOOD
What is your town famous for?
A NEW YORK ...
is famous for many things and there are great restaurants here with food from all over the world. But, the food people love New York for is cheap and you don’t eat it in a restaurant. You buy it in the street and eat and walk at the same time. It is the hot dog. You can find hot dogs for sale all over the city. You can eat traditional ‘dogs’ with pork meat or healthy chicken or turkey ‘dogs’. Different nationalities offer different kinds of hot dogs. Why not try a spicy Mexican or Columbian hot dog, an ‘Asiadog’ or a German-style sausage?
B PHILADELPHIA ...
is home to the Philly Cheesesteak. It doesn’t look very special. It is a long roll, or baguette, and, inside there is beef, cheese and onions. You can buy these outside, in cafés or even in restaurants. Different people have their favourite places to buy them. At Pat’s, the beef is chopped into quite thick pieces. At Roxborough Dalessandro’s, the beef is very thin and at John’s Roast Pork there is extra cheese. If you can’t get to Philadelphia, don’t worry. You can find lots of recipes for Philly Cheesesteaks on the Internet.
C MILWAUKEE ...
is a quiet city about 150 km north of Chicago. It is in the state of Wisconsin and Wisconsin produces 25 per cent of America’s cheese. So, it isn’t surprising that people here eat a lot of cheese. Fried Cheese Curds are small, fried balls of cheese and you can find them in every town in the state. You can eat these snacks in restaurants, at sports events and even at the airport. You can also buy packets of frozen cheese curds from supermarkets or online. Why not buy a packet and have your own Milwaukee cheese night at home?
