We have seen runzas in Minnesota and South Dakota. In South Dakota they were called "authentic Nebraskan runzas."
I’ve certainly never seen St. Pauls outside of St. Louis, and only in South St. Louis at that! Although I’m sure they must be in other areas in STL. Speaking of STL, toasted ravioli may be served in other parts of the country now, but it was first served in St. Louis. I’ve never seen slingers anywhere else.
Date shakes in California!

Hate to say this, but Runza, as in the fast food chain, can also be found in Iowa, Colorado and Kansas.But I understand what you mean. Runzas will always be associated with Nebraska.
How about these three:
1) St. Paul sandwich in St. Louis
2) Turkey Devonshire in Pittsburgh
3) Horseshoe sandwich in Springfield, IL
Wow, I did not realize that Runza branched out that far geographically as a chain. That’s kind of sad in a way.

Actually Runza’s are known as "Bierocks" in Kansas…
But it’s true that this type of regional specialty is pretty much confined to Nebraska and Kansas
I’m thinking Spiedies in Binghamton and The Garbage plate in Rochester. Also Chislic is pretty much self contained to Eastern South Dakota
I’ve never seen an authentic Italian Beef sandwich outside of Chicago.
steamed cheeseburgers are pretty much a CT thing.

I was thinking of this the other day, and came up with two, and was wondering if anyone else can supplement my list.
My two:
1) The Runza-only available in the Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska areas.
2) The Panzarotti- only available in the Camden NJ area.

The other thread is about food items that originated or are known best in a certain location…

It is getting darn difficult to find unique food anymore since people travel more today, move around the country more today and chain restaurant and grocers have expanded around the country. Also, the Internet itself has made people aware of all the regional difference unlike any other possible way. For instance I could start making that Old Forge White Pizza without ever having been there. I’ve noticed a trend in restaurants adopting regional foods from another area to promote as a unique dining experience.

here’s a link to some photos of the Old Forge white pizza I mentioned above. I don’t normally get mine with broccoli.It’s white brick cheeze between two crusts, with garlic and rosemary on top. No sauce whatsoever.
I have had what is called white pizza in many pizza parlors and have made my own kind of white pizza but I have to admit that one looks very unique.

Oh.

Yes, Wegmans (based in Rochester) is spreading the word on all sorts of Upstate NY favorites. Not only do they sell spiedie sauce and Rochester and Buffalo hot dogs and white hots, they also sell salt potato "kits" (bags of potatoes with salt).
