Many cities are known for being a destination for their gourmet dining or a certain cuisine. But some places are famous for one specific food -- something you can only authentically eat in that one place.
This week, AskMen.com published a list of 50 cities known for a specific type of food. The list is completely delicious.
Check out the first 25 foods below, then click over to AskMen for the rest!
1. Tacos -- Austin, Texas
Cheap, nutritious and delicious, tacos have long been a staple of Mexican cuisine, and thanks to their proximity to the border, those culinary delights have made their way north, in a big way. But Austin’s taco craze is fueled by more than just the food itself: Food trucks have become a way of life there, servicing students, tourists and the late-late-night dining crowd. If you thought a meal on wheels couldn’t compete with normal restaurant fare, try an Austin taco.

2. Philly Cheesesteak -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The exact provenance of this sandwich shop staple is hotly contested, but few doubt that it had its roots in Philadelphia, nearly 100 years ago. The ingredients are modest -- cheese, sliced steak and bread will do -- but the taste is out of this world, particularly if you find an authentic sandwich shop willing to take the time to actually cook the meat rather than just reheat it.
