Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Barbeque

It's true that several places all claim the barbeque as something unique to their region. Here in the Carolinas, it's pork. Either pulled, sliced or chopped with a vinegar based sauce.
In Memphis, it's still pork that can either be eaten "dry" or with a tomato based sauce.
In Kansas City, it's all about the ribs. Sauce also plays a big part of the BBQ experience here.
Texas means beef. Brisket is one of choicest cuts, slow smoked and juicy.

2. Next, we head down to Louisiana. We are headed for a restaurant that is famous for its French-style beignets and coffee with chickory. What is the name of this place?

Answer: Cafe du Monde

The Cafe du Monde has been in business for over 100 years. They have a sign that reads "Open everyday except Christmas or when a hurricane gets too close". Their beignets have been featured on many TV food shows from "Man vs. Food" to "Unwrapped". They even get a mention in the Jimmy Buffett song "The Wino and I Know".

Answer: New Mexico

New Mexico chilis can be either red or green, depending on when they are picked. The people of New Mexico really do put them on just about everything. I have a friend who says his wife even puts them on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Answer: The Dodger Dog

The Dodger Dog is a 10" frankfurter in a steamed bun. You can get it either steamed or grilled, although the grilled version is considered by most to be the "classic" way. Estimates put the sales of Dodger Dogs at just over 2 million sold every year.
