* Game 5, Round 7 - Food And Drink - "American" Foods
Looking to take a road trip down south this summer? Why not grab
some iconic eats while you're at it? Answer these questions about
foods named after places in the United States.
1. Mustard, onion, tomato, a dill pickle, tomato, hot peppers,
bright green relish, and a dash of celery salt -- *but not
ketchup* -- go on a hot dog named for which third-most-populous
US city?
2. Name this sushi roll that is inverted with rice on the outside
like a California roll, but is filled with cucumber, smoked
salmon, and cream cheese.
3. A focaccia-like crust with crispy cheese along the edge
characterizes *which city*'s style of pizza? The pizza's
traditional preparation in drip pans used for oil changes
gives it a distinctive shape.
4. A cayenne pepper, butter, and vinegar hot sauce was created
at the Anchor Bar to create an innovative twist to a pub staple.
In which city would you find the original Anchor Bar?
5. Despite contenders like Pepper X, which pepper bred by Ed Currie
in 2017 currently holds the Guinness world record for hottest
pepper in the world? Its two-word name includes a nod to the
state that's home to Currie's Puckerbutt Farm.
6. Scottish businessman David Jacks popularized a cheese originally
made by Friars in which California city? A variation of that
cheese is named for the addition of chili and bell peppers.
7. Next time you're in this state, you might try a Hot Brown,
a turkey, ham, and cheese sandwich. If you hate your body,
you might then "double down" and visit a fast-food chain founded
in this state's city of Corbin.
8. Cayenne pepper gives a characteristic bright red color to
the Hot Chicken, a dish created by the Prince family in, and
sometimes named for, which southern city?
9. Celery, walnuts, apples, and grapes appear in a salad named for
which business? Give the full, hyphenated name of that business
that was demolished in 1929 to build the Empire State Building.
10. The Fig Newton is named not for a physicist, but for a city
in which state? This state's largest city appears in the
slightly misleading name of a custard-filled cake topped with
chocolate.
