johnsonbarr - I would love to know where I can get a Philly cheese steak that is better than the ones you find in Philly.
Atlsntic city , New Jersey
All the places on the boardwalk have equal to or better cheesesteaks than philly...but it is in the same geographic area and i think phila places get lots of their bread from south NJ
Even though OP is right, I still think those places that popularized each great food should be celebrated for their contribution. It's just the people raving about how uniquely good those things are now that are annoying.
I disagree. It's like a local restaurant that suddenly opens a second location. It's almost always not as good as the original.

If there was any complexity to what they’re doing, or there are ingredients that you can only get in that area then you might have a point. But when it’s simple ingredients and basic recipes, then it can be made just as good anywhere.
I’ve been to Italy 5 times and had pizza up and down the boot. It’s good pizza, often great, but it’s simple ingredients and not hard to do. We’ve made pizza just as good in our own kitchen.
I hear these NYC fanooks saying they can’t find a decent slice outside of the northeast. Yeah because, dough, sauce, and toppings is real challenging and you have some refined pallet. Eat a dick…eat two.
