I forgot the much more important ones, cheeses :
You have Camembert from the city of Camembert, Neufchatel from the city of Neufchatel, Roquefort from the city of Roquefort and it is possible to continue like that a long time as we have hundreds of cheese in France.
We can do the same with the drinks ... wine (Bordeaux, etc) and strong alcohol as Cognac.

Boston cream donuts/pies/etc.
London Broil
Boston baked beans (Yes, they're not what most other places considered baked beans, and yes I'm from Boston. We even had a huge disaster here where the tank holding the molasses used to make them burst, and the resulting flood of molasses killed 21 people and injured another 150. I kid you not, fucking molasses flood.)
Buffalo wings/chicken/etc (yup, named after Buffalo NY)
Brussels sprouts (fairly sure that's Brussles Belgium they're named after, and most people think I'm crazy having them as my favorite vegetable)
Hell, that's an entire meal right there.

Cincinnati chili is great stuff. It's a lot different though. A mix of sweet and spicy. Whatever recipe you use, make sure you add Worcestershire sauce to it, though, even if it's not called for.

I'm planning on cooking a meal for friends with dishes that have a city/town name in it.
Like Chicken Kiev, Wiener Schnitzel, etc.
Why? Well, why not? I think its a cool idea but havent found much interesting yet.
I'm looking for all kinds of food: soups, main dishes, sidedishes, desert, etc
I'm not looking for regions, states, countries, etc. Just cities.
Can you name some? Maybe some local food? Oh, and it would be nice if it doesnt taste like crap ;)
I know this isnt the most logical place for a question like this but I'm curious what you can come up with.
AWESOME PEOPLE!!!! There are so many great options already
