When I saw the title of this thread I couldn't help but think of food... NJ Italian food vs TX, Texas BBQ vs NJ, Mexican food in Texas vs NJ...

When my parents got divorced my mother moved to Maine where she grew up. I flew in from LA one summer. I told her I would rent a car and catch up with her. She was at a Mexican restaurant with a couple of friends. I walked in and ordered a grilled cheese and fries.

One of her friends mentioned it was odd to order a grilled cheese in a Mexican restaurant. I commented it would be more odd to live in California and travel to Texas on business and expect Mexican food in Maine to be comparable.

Now that I’m back on the east coast I’ve acclimated to what I used to refer to as Tourist-Mex. Fortunately I have a Mexican heritage friend who gives me her homemade hot sauce. Taco Bell has Mild, Hot and Fire. Her sauce would be called Explosion.
