I can think of the obvious "Buffalo Wings"
Buffalo wings were first prepared at the Anchor Bar by Teressa Belissimo, who owned the bar along with her husband Frank. Upon the unannounced, late-night arrival of their son, Dominic, with several of his friends from college, Teressa needed a fast and easy snack to present to her hungry guests. It was then that she came up with the idea of deep frying chicken wings (normally thrown away or reserved for stock) and tossing them in cayenne hot sauce
Sponge Candy... maybe.. I think it originates in the UK, where is called honeycomb toffee, but the chocolate-covered bricks maybe something centered in buffalo or southern Ontario.
