serbian fried chicken https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barberton_Chicken I love this shit. I lived right next to belgrade gardens in akron which is the place famous for it
Coney dogs are a big thing in cleveland and detroit, but obv not really originating here
Pierogis are much more common here. All the drive in movie theaters have them.
If you go to a pizza place, simple potato wedges might be listed as "jojos" and it's common for ppl to get them w/pizza or chicken. idk if this is a thing anywhere else
I'd rather not talk about Cincinnati Chili. The people aren't right over there. Southern ohio is fucked up. I don't really like to venture south of akron. This dish is a perfect example of their culture down there
