What food is your city famous for?

what food is your city famous for? where are the best places to get these foods? what restaurants and other place have big reputations in your city?


for wilmington, subs are very big. the two biggest places are capriotti's and casapulla's. capriotti's is more famous, but i would say it's a draw between the two as to which is better.

there are multiple locations for both capriotti's and casapulla's (including the west coast, where capriotti's has expanded to in recent years), but the original capriotti's is on union street in wilmington, and the original casapulla's is in the nearby town of elsmere.

capriotti's most famous sub is "the bobbie". it's been called "thanksgiving dinner on a roll", and it includes turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and other thanksgiving dinner items.

other food famous in this area are typical mid-atlantic dishes, such as muskrat and chitterlings. muskrat is a rodent found in the marshes in the area. chitterlings are deep-fried pig intestines. a good place to get these dishes is at "the knotty pine" on 11th street.>
