TT,

How about I make you a Top Ten list?

In addition to, as Cathy suggested, using the LTHForum search, you could read Hammond's wonderful Maxwell Street Market primer.

Enjoy,
Gary

I would be delighted to find ten regions at Maxwell Street (and believe me, I've looked). So far, I count only 5 relatively identifiable regional cuisines:

Jalisco
Guerrero
Oaxaca
D.F.
Aquascalientes

We could split hairs by arguing, for instance, that carnitas included in Jalisco's tortas ahogadas are maybe more typical of Michoacan, but these five regions seem to predominate, with the first two being most obvious.
