Up until...uh, a couple of days ago, I've lived in the Quad-Cities.
In spite of having four times more cities than most...cities, I can't really think of any regional specialties. There's a restaurant called Ross's, which serves a rather fascinating food item called the Magic Mountain. It's basically a huge pile of toast, meat, fries, and cheese...if it had eggs, it would be like every item that Denny's serves, but it doesn't, so it's special! It's quite impressive in scale...I tried one once, and I couldn't finish half of it, though that might not mean too much because I have a tiny stomach. The Hungry Hobo chain of fast food places is all over the place in the Quad-Cities, but hasn't spread anywhere else. It's sort of like Subway, except that they serve baked potatoes too. Their sandwiches are kind of lame, to be honest...not really on par with Subway, and a long ways behind Quiznos. They are cheap, though.
As a side note, everyone in the area is apparently obsessed with barbecue, because there are lots of BBQ places of varying quality in the area. There are tons of farmer's markets, too, as you might expect in Iowa!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
