Jambalaya---New Orleans,Louisiana
Creole jambalaya originates from the French Quarter of New Orleans.It consists of meat and vegetables mixed with rice. Traditionally, the meat always includes sausage of some sort, often a smoked sausage such as Andouille, along with some other meat or seafood, frequently pork, chicken, crayfish, or shrimp. The vegetables are usually a sofrito-like mixture known as the "holy trinity" in Creole and Cajun cooking, consisting of onion, celery, and green bell pepper, though other vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, chilis, and garlic are also used. After browning and sauteeing the meat and vegetables, rice, seasonings, and broth are added and the entire dish is cooked together until the rice is done.

Philly Cheesesteak -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The exact provenance of this sandwich shop staple is hotly contested, but few doubt that it had its roots in Philadelphia, nearly 100 years ago. The ingredients are modest -- cheese, sliced steak and bread will do -- but the taste is out of this world, particularly if you find an authentic sandwich shop willing to take the time to actually cook the meat rather than just reheat it.

Deep Dish Pizza -- Chicago, Illinois

While New Yorkers and Chicagoans rage on over which city has the better pizza, we get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Chicago’s famous deep-dish pizza, with crusts up to 3 inches tall, was invented at Pizzeria Uno in 1943, and has been helping to quell hunger pangs and fuel city-vs.-city feuds for over 70 years. Not bad.

Crab Cakes -- Baltimore, Maryland

You may have had crab cakes before. You may love crab cakes. But if you haven’t had Maryland crab cakes, you haven’t really had crab cakes. Crab has been a staple food of Baltimore for as long as there has been a Baltimore.

Lexington Barbecue---Lexington, North Carolina

The Lexington style of barbecue (occasionally referred to as Piedmont style) uses a vinegar-based "red" sauce that is seasoned with ketchup, vinegar, and pepper, along with other spices that vary from recipe to recipe. It is most common in the Piedmont (central) and western areas of the state. This style uses only the pork shouldersection of the pig. As with other styles of barbecue, the recipes vary widely, and can include many different ingredients, and range from slightly sweet to hot and spicy. The sauce also serves as the seasoning base for "red slaw" (also called "barbecue slaw"), which is coleslaw made by using Lexington-style barbecue sauce in place of mayonnaise.

Lafayette, Louisiana -- Crawfish
Crawfish, also known as crayfish, crawdads, freshwater lobster and, if you’re feeling really authentic, mudbugs, are freshwater crustaceans. They’re delicious, no matter how they’re cooked, and Lafayette as cornered the market, not only because they harvest some 90% of North America’s total crawfish, but because they’ve found a way to eat them at every meal, as snacks or appetizers or main dishes.

Denver, Colorado -- The Denver Omelet
The humble Denver Omelet is known across America, often under different names, but the ingredients remain the same: diced ham, onions and green bell peppers, topped with cheese and served with hash browns. Its exact origin is in dispute; some claim it was initially a sandwich invented by Western pioneers, with its bread removed once it became more popular in Denver as a breakfast meal than a sandwich, while others claim its origin is French.

The Half-Smoke — Washington, D.C.
Famous in Washington, the half-smoke might appear, to the untrained eye, to be a simple hot dog. Instead, it’s a half-pork, half-beef jumbo dog, smoked to perfection and served with herbs, onions and chili sauce. Even President Obama has been known to take time out of his busy schedule to visit the best half-smoke joints in the city.

A proper Chicago dog features a steamed natural casing all-beef hot dog in a poppy-seed bun, topped with mustard, chopped onions, neon green relish, tomato wedges, a dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt.

I made gumbo a couple of times but I'm not from or been to Norleans. However would like to have authentic gumbo and a benyai. And any other spicy food they got....

Good food isn't about having been to a particular location. But about bringing the cultures from those locations with you as you travel through life. I know people that love German Chocolate Cake but I know no one that's been to Germany. If a food falls into the I love category, you'll learn to prepare it.

BTW I too make a mean gumbo. I sometimes add in king crab legs instead of blue crab clusters. I'm serious about my shit.

Egg cream---Brooklyn
An egg cream is a cold beverage consisting of milk, carbonated water, and flavored syrup (typically chocolate or vanilla). Despite the name, the drink contains neither eggs nor cream.
It is prepared by pouring syrup into the glass, adding milk, lightly stirring it with a spoon, then streaming soda water into the glass, mixing the other ingredients. Ideally, the glass is left with 2/3 liquid and 1/3 foamy head.[1]
The egg cream is almost exclusively a fountain drink. Although there have been several attempts to bottle it, none have been wholly successful, as its refreshing taste and characteristic head require mixing of the ingredients just before drinking.
