local specialty
Area's signature dish
A local specialty is a food, product, or craft strongly associated with a particular place—something travelers seek out or residents take pride in: The local specialty is smoked salmon.
The term implies regional distinctiveness, often tied to geography, climate, or tradition: Every Italian town seems to have its own local specialty.
