(1,685 posts)Yes, they were invented here, as was what is now known as Cuban Bread. Before you declare that to be absurd, read on.
In the late 1800's, due to the cigar industry, more Cubans lived in Tampa than in any other city in the world other than Havana. Tampa was the cigar capital of the world. Tobacco was shipped up to Tampa, where the expat Cubans rolled them to perfection, and they were then shipped to the northeast and the Midwest via railroad.
The cigar workers were very poor, so a local baker got the idea of taking bread dough and shaping the bread to be long and thin, thinking that it may seem to customers to be a bigger loaf of bread than it actually was. Thus, Cuban Bread was born. It wasn't any different than bread baked in Cuba or elsewhere in Tampa, except for the shape.
The Cuban sandwich in Tampa evolved to include a mix of ingredients that matched the composition of the immigrants that settled in the Ybor City area of Tampa: Cubans, Italians, Spaniards, Germans, and Jews. The bread and the mojo roast pork came from Cuba, the ham from Spain, the Swiss cheese and pickle came via Germans and Jews, and a thin slice of hard salami came via the Italians.
There has been an argument lately about comparing the Cuban sandwich from Tampa vs. the one from Miami. The Miami version does not include salami, and their bread, while shaped the same, has a different consistency. Cuban sandwiches were not even made to any degree in Miami until the 1930's and 1940's, and there were not many Cubans living there until Castro took over in Cuba.
Here's a story that will add a good bit more:

debm55
(25,692 posts)MichMan
(12,001 posts)Not sure why they are named that.
But what differentiates this from a good old chili dog? This beanless beef chili isn't just your standard: The signature condiment on a Detroit Coney hot dog is thought to be inspired by saltsa kima a meaty sauce with sweet and savory ingredients that range from red wine to cinnamon which Greek and Macedonian immigrants rightly realized would go great on the popular American snack (via Smithsonian Mag).
A standard chili dog often calls for a sprinkle of cheddar cheese or a squeeze of Cheez Whiz, but the Detroit Coney dog opts for yellow mustard. The combination of beef chili and tangy mustard creates a sharper flavor profile that cuts through the richness of the whole dog. The entire concoction is topped with raw onions, making the hot dog an all-encompassing sensory treat: spice from the chili, salt (and spice) from the mustard, crunch from the onions, and just a hint of sweetness from the buns.

(12,001 posts)The hot dog and toppings are 100% Michigan. There are literally hundreds of restaurants in Michigan called "Coney Islands" They all pride themselves on their hot dogs, but do serve breakfast and other lunch/dinner items. Quite a few are owned by people of Greek ethnicity.
For example "Walt's Coney Island" , "Leo's Coney Island" etc. One of the most famous is "Lafayette Coney Island" in downtown Detroit which is right next to another named "National Coney Island"
We take our Coney Island hot dogs very seriously. Most use a Michigan sourced hot dog called Koegel's from Flint, Mi.

This said, we grow some of the world's best peaches, blueberries, and are also known for cranberries.

I happily confess I was wrong.

(33,582 posts)It's a very diverse state, and its diversity is part of the wonder of the place. We have many thrilling ethnic cuisines here, because we have many diasporas to provide them.
You should know that for many years people advertised "Trenton Pizzas." There was a time, although it has mostly passed, that Trenton was known for its Italian restaurants and...for its Pizza.
I live North of Trenton, near Princeton. Trust me, there are great Pizzas in New Jersey; you just have to find them. It's part of the process of uncovering New Jersey and finding its many wonders.

(5,863 posts)Best pizza in the world. Fabulous Italian food. Pepper and egg sandwiches made in heaven. Real fennel taralli. Bread and rolls with perfect crisp crusts.
And you're absolutely right about the tomatoes and fruit. Rutgers, Brandywine and beefsteak tomatoes from farm stands, Silver Queen corn.
In elementary school we were taught that the term Garden State came from the numerous "truck gardens" that supplied NYC with fresh produce.
Truck or market gardening involves raising vegetables, fruits, and flowers on small plots of land. The produce is picked and delivered by small truck or, in the past, horse-drawn carts, to city markets.
When I was growing up in northern NJ in the 1950e and 60s, our area still had dairy, poultry and strawberry farms. Some of our neighbors kept chickens. All are long gone, replaced by suburban commuter developments.

(4,401 posts)Statewide, out of Columbus OH, we're known for "Johnny Marzetti" that goes by many other names. But I was born and grew up in Cleveland, so I'm partial to the ones I remember best. Cleveland has it's own version of the Italian strawberry cassatta cake and Little Italy's Corbo's bakery in Cleveland has statewide recognition. Dayton's now closed Dominic's Restaurant made the BEST garlic salad dressing. When I worked at MVH (Miami Valley Hospital), it was so potent that our docs in the pathology lab eventually outlawed ordering the salad in for lunch.After many family lawsuits, Dominic's closed its doors. Because my joined families have a German/Prussian and Slovenian heritage, I'm also a giant fan of the pierogis, Haluski, and European bakery goods, like potica, all popular foods among Clevelanders, but in such short supply in the state capitol.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog is one of L.A.'s most-beloved culinary icons and now Angelenos can make it official. Local food company Farmer John has teamed up with Los Angeles Dodger and self-proclaimed foodie Andre Ethier to launch a campaign to make the Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog the Official Hot Dog of Los Angeles. Beginning today, Ethier will kick off a whistle stop tour to rally the people to sign the petition at www.votelahotdog.org, and in return, for every signature collected in support of the Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog, Farmer John will make a donation -- up to 25,000 pounds -- to local food banks.

(576 posts)My friend has a camp in Saranac Lake. The absolute best things are Glazier hot dogs and Glazier bacon. Can only find them in that area. Hot dogs are red and snap after being grilled. Bacon is to die for. I used to pick wild blueberries, then make pancakes using the Glazier bacon fat. Mmmm. mmmmm.

Also, many farmers near me grow Silver Queen/King corn. It comes out late. Very good.
