http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_roll]Taylor Pork Roll used to be strictly a New Jersey-Philly-sorta NY thing, almost unknown anywhere else, but over the last ten or twenty years it seems to be http://www.jerseyporkroll.com/]popping up in different spots all over the country -- I found it once in a grocery store on the Florida Atlantic coast (probably because it was a resort area with a lot of tourists from up north).
In any case, pork roll by itself is very NJ (I have a Tshirt to that effect, in fact), but as prepared foods go, the grilled pork-roll-and-cheese sandwich on a kaiser bun is a diner favorite. And for breakfast, slap a scrambled or fried egg or two on that.
Oh, and I hear that Up-And-Away Burgers in Rhode Island give In-And-Out a run for their money.
