regional specialty
Area's signature dish
A regional specialty is a food, product, or craft associated with a particular geographic area—Philly cheesesteaks, Vermont maple syrup, Oaxacan black pottery.
The term implies local expertise, traditional methods, or ingredients unique to the region: We stopped at every roadside stand to try the regional specialties.
