The map seems to be focused on where foods originated, so Teriyaki and Fish and Chips may not fit Seattle.

I could see Beecher's being on there because a cheese variety "Venus" is nearby, but AFAIK Beechers does not produce any unique varieties of cheese.

I can confirm you can find a Seattle Dog from a street vendor most nights in Capitol Hill. They are alright.

Not to be that guy, but search “Seattle teriyaki history” and you will probably change your opinion on whether it belongs on this map. I’d also say that Cougar Gold cheese should be on the Washington map, and that huckleberry anything is more associated with Oregon than Idaho. I’m also dumbfounded that there isn’t a Toronto entry for peameal bacon sandwiches, and that the tenderloin sandwich isn’t an entry for the old Czech town of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. So - map is a good start but has a long way to go.
Wow the tenderloin sandwich is amazing! In Czechia it's kinda traditional that if a family have some longer travel ahead of them that they will prepare pork schnitzels with pickles in a bun or bread. The meme is kids going on a field trip and everybody unpacking their schnitzel sandwiches and eating them before the bus even leaves the home town.

It's funny that this dish transferred all the way to USA and remained a community staple.
