Chapter 9 (South Atlantic)

Chapter 9 has a section on Food Geography for the South. It talks about how every region has a dominant food that reflects regional resources, culture, and sense of place. In the South they are known for having the best BBQ's and soul food. Philadelphia is famous for lots of things. Food is one of them. 
 

 Philadelphia is known for many types of food that are not sold outside of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is most famous for its Philly Cheesesteaks that everyone talks about. There are food brands that Philadelphia carry that no other place has. The foods that really stand out as trademarks of the City would be: Cheesesteaks, Water Ice, Kraft, Soft Pretzels, TastyKakes, Hoagies, Pizza and Herr's Potato Chips.


                                Cheesesteaks is what Philadelphia is most famous for.

                                                     Water Ice (Italian Ice)/ Soft Pretzels

 Pizza: This is a large box and only two slices fits. I love Philadelphia Pizza.

My favorite snack living back in Philadelphia were TastyKakes. Until this day I have my mom send me TastyKakes in the mail. They are delicious!!!!

It is amazing how Philadelphia has so many foods that they are famous for. Even though chapter nine just speaks on the two major foods in the South, I am sure the South are famous for more.
