Beef on Weck is ideal. Love it. There is one "greasy spoon" restaurant in Batavia, NY that makes great Weck sandwiches. A few years back, during my 40th reunion weekend, we pretty much took over the place for lunch one day.

Poppers are great too. In this area, White Hot Dogs are a speciality, though I do not like them at all.

We all grew up enjoying food favorites that we never knew we unknown to others. Here is one from western NY, Roast Beef on Kimmelweck, The other I found in west Texas, the ORIGIONAL Jalapeno poppers.
It's all about the buns on Beef and Wick:

Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers, not hot, but very addictive

Do you have an HEB store near you haunt? They sell those, along with armadillo eggs ....http://stylemagazine.com/news/2014/nov/13/h-e-bs-panel-wowed-armadillo-roadrunner-eggs/
 
I never heard of Beef on a Weck and it sounds great!

I also like the recipe for the bacon-wrapped "poppers". Tedious work to make a lot, but I'll bet they're worth it.
Thanks!

A friend introduced me to Green Corn Tamales while at the Coachella Festival (CA) many years ago. Seasonal item, local vendor, freshly made. Great. Yesterday I saw in freezer at Trader Joe's Sweet Corn Tamales which looked similar. Had to give them a try. Not quite the same but pretty darn close and they don't require a trip to CA.
 
Can't say there is anything local here to crow about BUT things I miss - Rhubarb (too hot to grow it here and few people have heard of it), Rhode Island style clam chowder and breakfast pizza!
