1. If you're eating a hot dog on a poppy seed bun with fluorescent green relish, celery salt, a pickle spear and peppers, chances are you are in this city.

Answer: Chicago

The Chicago dog is famous for its salad-like ingredients. New Yorkers prefer their dogs with kraut and tomato-onion sauce. In L.A., the bacon-wrapped dog with pineapple salsa is a push-cart institution.

2. In what locale do the locals fawn over, of all things, a ball of rice, topped with spam, and wrapped in seaweed?

Spam musubi, a sort of spam sushi, is an island favorite. In Hawaii, spam rules supreme, and the state consumes more of it per capita than any other state. Other Hawaiian favorites include poi, the sour porridge made from the taro plant; poke, a salad of marinated raw fish; and lau lau, pork or fish wrapped in ti leaves and steamed.
