This is my take on the classic Korean fried chicken sauce. I like to add lots of green onion and garlic, and not cook this quite as long. The result is a sauce with those ingredients a little more in the flavor profile's forefront. Try to find Korean chili flakes and/or paste if you can. I've used them before and the flavor is great (and obviously more authentic), but if you can't, any hot chili flakes or paste will work.

Primanti-Style Sandwiches
Anyone who has been to Pittsburgh can tell you about the wonderful Primanti Brothers sandwiches which are a local delicacy. Coleslaw, fries, cheese, and meat (or no meat for you veggies) on thickly sliced Italian bread brings a taste of Pittsburgh to wherever you may be. You can substitute your favorite meat for the capicola.
Mohawk Indian Corn Soup
On the Akwesasne Reservation where I grew up I have fond memories of Mohawk Indian corn soup always being on the stove on New Year's Eve. Friends and family would stop in and have a bowl or two and celebrate the end of the year. I continue this tradition with my own family now. Use canned Indian corn instead of hominy if available.
