Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Talk about local "delicacies" here

I put delicacies in quotation marks because a lot of people want to die when I have to explain garbage plates to them

welcome to Rochester NY, bitch

Oh now we're talking. Time for both hunger and homesickness. My favorite Ecuadorian dishes are:

Hornado
Fritada
Empanada de morocho
Shrimp ceviche

I don't miss much from Ecuador (bar family and friends), but I could kill for a good plate of hornado. I COULD KILL

I...actually am not sure on that, I know smoked pig/hog is big in my home state, though. And that yellow mustard sauce is typically the go-to. Or at least that's what I had at a party when I was in highschool, when a friend who I knew there invited me to it. Their parent's particular mustard sauce was very 'blegh' but I'm sure there are much better ones 'round there. I'll have to ask my mother and her friend what the area is known for.

One of my biggest regrets is that I left Ecuador before developing a true appreciation of the food there. I never sat down in a restaurant that served proper Ecuadorian haute cuisine. A terrible fate.

Not my hometown specifically, but the region around my hometown: marron, which is a species of crayfish.

Michigan doesn't really have much.

Craft Beer- with Founders, Bell's, and a million micro-breweries, Michigan is high up there in the craft beer movement. Grand Rapids is considered the Beer City USA.

Mackinac island fudge. It's no different from fudge anywhere else. but we get to put our island's name on it.

Coney Dog wars. Every area of the state has it's own style of coney dogs. even within cities, the different cafes fight. i don't like them.

Vernor's ginger ale. apparently the rest of you don't drink this stuff. we mostly drink it when we are sick. It's medicine you know.

Michigan Cherries are a big deal.

Paczkis - Okay, they are actually polish. And in the US, they are popular in more than just Michigan, but only in pockets that have high amounts of Polish descendants.

Also Faygo is from Detroit.

Banket is similar to Paczkis, except replace Polish with Dutch.

Wheey! I've became a human being!! I am very handsam!

As Klinger mentions in multiple episodes of M*A*S*H, Toledo has Tony Packo's. Signature dish is the "Hungarian hot dog" which uses a Hungarian sausage (somewhat similar to Polish kielbasa) instead of a hot dog. The sausages are pretty thick so they cut it in half to fit it on the bun.

also whenever famous people eat there they sign a hot dog bun

Kiki hit on a lot of points I wanted to. And yeah, paczki do exist in other places, they're just not as big of a deal as they are in Michigan. (I'm in the Cleveland area now and I was legitimately surprised to see paczki being sold.)

One thing Kiki did miss is that we've got some baller middle-eastern food, especially in the southeast corner of the state. There are a lot of Arabic-descent people out in Dearborn and the general area.

//EDIT: Oh, right, pasties (pn. like "pass tea"). They're more an Upper Peninsula thing, but they're meat pastries, basically.

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

I don't think my area is really known for producing any signature foods.

It is basically Koreatown though, so there's lots of really good KBBQ places. They do especially good bulgogi, since it's apparently the Korean meat that white people always like.

I learned the other day that people outside the Midwest don't know that breaded pork tenderloins are a thing. So there's that.

Didn't realize I was so close to a few Kradenettes while I was in Cleveland!

My home town, some rural country city in the middle of nowhere, was really big on bratwurst to the point of having an annual bratwrust festival to celebrate it. It was pretty good, but nothing special I think.

I can't really think of what Cleveland was known for, but I know that everyone seemed to love Melt, basically a grilled cheese restaurant and bar that started in Lakewood. Sadly, I never made time to actually check it out but my friends loved it.
