Local food you love or miss

I think there are a couple restaurants in the philly area that do the toasted ravioli thing.

There isn't really anything in particular that I miss in terms of regional childhood food. I guess I just had a bland childhood ... that and the BIG beloved items were imported from Philadelphia (TastyKakes). My uncle was Master Baker at Tasty, as was his father before him ... never returned to Chicago from a "trip back East" without bags full of culls.

I will confess to an occasional adult hankering for the Onion Rings from Capital City Brewing in Baltimore, though. That's more of a tourist craving, however.
