Basketball gm has them as San Antonio Churros, so maybe

Big Ol’ Churros

It’s the puffy tacos if you know ball

San Antonio Tortas because it’s double entrende and Charles would be right.

This is where I’d respond with the legendary Barkley gif if this sub wasn’t lame as fuck!!

*double churros

Reporting for duty

Not the Seattle Lattes?

Seattle Seafood goes tough with the alliteration, and Las Vegas Buffets

who doesn’t have a torta pounder in their crew?

San Antonio Churros

San Antonio Barbacoas sponsored by Big Red

Should really be the San Antonio Breakfast Tacos. Tortas and puffy tacos are just Mexican food. Breakfast tacos are specifically San Antonio Tex-Mex.

a torta hat would be up there with the rangers tetas hat as immediate needs

According to Charles Barkley all the THICC latinas in San Antonio be eating churros.

That’s a reference to the food and the women out there.

Runner-up should be New York Street Meat. Chuck is the mascot.

Truth nuke

16 days, man….sixteen long days.

And you can still put green chili on it.

Most of OP’s picks are questionable

Or they can stay the Nuggets

Omelettes

Ooo the fancy spelling

and ending with puffy tacos

[removed]

It’s should be Miami Cubanos lol

Lebatard would love this

Chicago wet beefs is it

Edit: soppin’, just absolutely dripping juices

this. tastes like chicken if you dont know what it is haha

Agree 100%. Square pizza in the same division as deep dish? Just seems lazy. The Detroit Coneys sounds much better and has deeper roots.

Came here to say this too!!!

Elite ball knowledge

Also definitely not a shape invented there like the OP claims hahah

We just recently came back from a trip to Detroit, and we went to a new pizza place that just opened called Unc’s, have to say, it was amazing. Truly could tell they used fresh high quality ingredients and tasted so so good. We went to buddy’s because my friend said that was the bar for Detroit style pizza, but Unc’s was way better.

The Coney has wide ranging impact from New York City to Houston. Truly a beautiful cultural export.

And Detroit DID NOT invent square pizza

I lived in Michigan for almost 10 years in the early 2000s, and I never heard of Detroit style pizza. The first I ever heard of it was like 5 years ago.

Coney dogs are a much better choice.

They are the Detroit Pistons, not the Michigan Pistons. Maybe square pizza wasn’t a thing in places like Kalamazoo or Midland until recently, but it’s been a thing in Detroit for decades.

Chowdahs

Um Boston Beans?

The Iced Coffees

In some circles clam chowder is the same as a cream pie

That would be their WNBA team

Seconded, Boston cream pie is trash anyways

Chicago Beef would also align with Bulls

Man them sandwiches you got in Chicago are on another level. Would also say really good Mexican food there too.

Italian Beef gotta be #1

I forgot where I went but the Italian beef was bomb. Also I spent a day and tried the top four pizza spots. I still feel it to this day, but my favorite was pequods.

Can you get Italian beef and Chicago dog on a deep dish?

Yeah, I was thinking Chicago Italian Beef and they can have 2 mascots; Sweet Peppers and Hot Giard.

There seems to be a ton of falafel and pretzel bread in Chicago as well. I know those aren’t city-specific dishes, but I definitely associate the Chicago food scene with them.

yall did not invent hotdogs and theres nothing more iconic about a chicago hotdog than a ny one

Hank Hill is spinning in his propane tank.

Wild

Austin doesn’t have a team

I’m assuming you save Texas BBQ in case Austin gets an expansion team.

OP said what they said 😂

(Edited to say I actually do prefer Texas bbq but just making a joke)

TX BBQ is great but very little of the great TX BBQ is available in any city in TX

[removed]

For real. This filled me with more rage than it should’ve

Dallas “Regional Taco Bell Knock-Offs”.

Think places like Taco Casa or Taco Bueno.

Denver Omelettes

As a lifelong Coloradan, I agree.  While we love a good green chile, our neighbors to the south make it better and serve it in more places.

My vote is for the Denver Breakfast Burritos.  It’s another food that’s found elsewhere, but its pretty ubiquitous across the state.

How would you feel about the Phoenix Fry Bread?

Yeah, they’re the Dallas Steaks.

Dallas TexMex was a pretty terrible choice. Might as well do Dallas Brisket to give it another well known Texas food where the best versions are not found in or around Dallas.

No brisket team in texas is straight bullshit

Hard agree. I’d say Chino Bandido for unique and well-loved food.

Frankly, I can’t come up with a universally loved Phoenix food, aside from trying to avoid something about fry bread. But we could go with the Phoenix Chimichangas?

Oh, wait: Phoenix Asadas. Nailed it.

Imagine the mascot.

Especially funny from Argentinian Spanish

The one thing that can unite Spurs and Rockets fans. This is close to a racial slur IMO

I’m assuming that Dallas is the most vanilla of the cities in the triangle?

Tex Mex is a cuisine rather than a specific food, too. I felt like this one broke the list for me.

Shots fired. Dallas dry brisket

Something something Indian Food

Bitch we invented the frozen marg. Hop off our dick

Puffy tacos aren’t exactly a rich culinary tradition, amigo

The Los Angeles Raw Milk and Ozempic.

They become the Kale Smoothies as punishment for Aspiration, and Erewhon is the jersey sponsor.

The Los Angeles Clippers/$28 Erewhon Smoothies

Phoenix hotdogs over Phoenix tacos is blasphemous

Give the Clips like Green Goddess dressing or maybe burritos

[deleted]

Because they eat their snickers bar with a fork and knife

Agreed, and peameal bacon sandwiches are really pretty niche. Toronto Shawarma, Toronto Patties, Toronto Jerk (Chicken) or Toronto Rotis.

It should be the Toronto hawaiian jerk butter chicken shawarma bannock birria taco pizza roti poutines.

Mixing food from different cultures is what’s iconic about Toronto’s food scene. We put jerk chicken in our spaghetti over here.

Peameal Bacon Sandwiches is crazy outdated.

I don’t know a single soul who’s even ever had one (to my knowledge). As far as I know, our staples are shawarma, but even more so Jamaican Beef Patties.

I was thinking poutine.

Canada’s team gets Canada’s most well known dish

Toronto chicken on the rocks

I was thinking Jamaican patty’s or banh mi’s

You can get shawarma a lot of places, I’ve only had a peameal bacon sandwich in Toronto, it’s that or butter tarts.

i’d go with street meat over shawarma. i haven’t lived in Toronto in more than 10 years but i still miss Toronto street hot dogs. spicy Italian sausage with onions, sauerkraut, banana peppers and honey mustard. absolutely divine. especially after leaving the bar drunk on a friday night. i miss that so goddamn much.

Yeah maybe it’s supposed to be porchetta but that’s only from like two places? Plus one on roti though

Toronto Timbits

I vote for the Golden State Fernet-Branca

I like the idea of Golden State Cioppinos, personally.

Golden State Dungeness for the WNBA team.

Agree on the Missions, disagree about the burrito shops — but I ride hard for burritos in southern Arizona.

and like 5 of the best burrito shops on earth are right there.

San Diego and Mexico: 🤨

Honestly inferior to the food truck burritos I had in LA. And much more expensive

Scrolled way too far for this.

Their most important contribution to Tex-Mex is probably the modern nacho. And that was at Rangers games, not the Mavs.

Baconeggncheese

I can already imagine the BEC jerseys flying off the racks.

The Sacratomato Basketball Club

Fry Sauce is the best thing to come out of Utah

Would also accept Utah Dirty Soda

It’d be the Minnesota Lutefisk because the LA Hot Dish still existed.

Brilliant

I was going to say this, or Minnesota Hot Dish, or Minnesota Walleyes

Selling lutefisk in the concessions would provide the largest home court advantage in the league.

Yea. Fuck the clippers. I’m taking their tacos, and there is nothing Balmer and Kawhi’s uncle can do about it.

That’s the G-league team.

*danger dogs

Boston Clam Chowders

If you are going to name it after a fast food chain, the Charlotte Cook Out was right there
