Evansville Foods That Out Of Towners Crave
For many years now, I've had friends travel to our area from different regions of the country, not only to visit but that home some "Evansville Foods." Sp what local fare do we have to offer that not only us locals crave, bit also visitors. Here are some that come to mind.
Brain Sandwiches. Pig not cow by the way. They switched when mad cow diseased was in full swing. People are often apprehensive about trying a brain sandwich. In what had become a west side tradition especially at the West Side Fall Festival and fine eateries like the hilltop inn
The ever-so-addictive Double Cola. My out of town friends take it home by the case. Formerly known as "Crack for housewives", Double Cola is very sugary and loaded with caffeine
Strombolis, inparticular Pizza King Strombolis. A very regional delight as many friends o mine didn't even know what a stromboli was...until I took them to Pizza King that is.
Lastly, Grippos. They truly are a midwest favorite. A lot has to do with the spices that are coating in each chip, in fact you can just by the Grippos BBQ spice in small shaker containers so when you're grilling you can sprinkle some o that on your chicken breast.
