Southern food is much better. We do comfort foods like nobody's business. You can't beat our bbq, southern fried chicken or country fried steak with sawmill gravy. Everything we eat has a ton of butter or sugar in it and lots of seasoning. It's mmm... mmm... good. You can't compare international foods, we're talking about american foods here.

But we are all transplants. None of us (minus native americans) are from the USA. I am italian, but I was born and raised in Boston. So while you may see italian food as from italy (and it is) I see it as from home (boston) cause plenty of americans are of italian descent. Just like if you think about the southwest, you think of mexican food, if it's the north it's italian food.
ps- if you we're talking about strictly local foods, not ethnicity, I'll take seafood any day of the week. There is a reason why people think Lobster and Steak is the most special dinner you can have, and you get that in the north.
pps- bbq was invented in the midwest, not the south. From K.C. to Chicago. So what you're telling me is the south is responsible for heart attacks? LOL.
