52 Regional USA Foods to Travel for in Every State - AFAR

"I learned that this longtime shop, which opened in 1938 and stakes a claim as the originator of the Italian beef sandwich, piles thinly sliced roast beef on French bread with sweet or hot peppers and offers the option to dunk the whole thing in au jus for a soggy-delicious experience." - Nicholas DeRenzo
