We traveled the state of Pennsylvania in search of all the Iconic Must Eat Food in Pennsylvania. Food that famously comes from PA and every Pennsylvanian should try once. Most of the food on our top 10 list of Pennsylvania food was invented in the state or is consumed mostly in the state.

10. The Just Born Company in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We are in search of the Peep. A marshmallow shaped treat found mostly at Easter time. These colorful cute chicks are Iconic to Pennsylvania.

9. Next is two all beef patties, special sauce , lettuce , cheese on a sesame seed bun. The invention of the Big Mac was made by McDonald's franchisee Jim Deligatti. In Irwin, Pennsylvania McDonald's there is a Big Mac Museum inside. The museum gives the history of the Big Mac and also has a 14 foot statue of the double burger sandwich.

8. Next we go to Latrobe, Pennsylvania to visit the spot where the banana split was invented. There is a statue of a ginormous banana split where the pharmacy that invented the sundae once stood. The original sundae was made with vanilla, chocolate, strawberry ice cream.

7. Lancaster, Pennsylvania is our next stop. this Dutch Pennsylvania food is called Shoo Fly Pie. The pie is made with thick molasses and lots of brown sugar. When the pie would sit outside to cool the sticky sweetness would bring in the flies. Thus the name Shoo Fly Pie.

6. Burnt Almond Torte at Prantel's Bakery in Pittsburgh, PA is one of the best cakes I ever ate. The owner of the bakery went to a baking competition where they were encouraged to use almonds in new and exciting ways. Needless to say, Prantel won the competition and the bakery has been making the torte the same way ever since.

5. Pretzels. Now Pennsylvania is not the inventor of the Pretzel, but they are the number one producer of Pretzels in the US. They make 80% of hard and soft pretzels. PA is also the number one consumer of the salty treat.

4. Pramanti Bros in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to have the Pramanti Bros sandwich. The sandwich was invented in the 1930's It's grilled meat and cheese, vinegar Cole slaw and a big stack of french Fries.

3. Tomato Pie. Our friends the Sorgi Stories from Philadelphia introduce this Philly classic. A bread like dough as the crust with gravy. a red sauce and just a small dusting of cheese.

2. The Sweetest Place on Earth is our next stop, Hershey, Pennsylvania. Milton Hershey built this town with his recipe for milk chocolate. Mixing milk with chocolate cut down the price of making chocolate and makes it more affordable to the masses.

Before getting to our #1 spot here are some honorable mentions of Must Eat Pennsylvania Iconic food.

Yuengling Beer. Yuengling is in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. It is the oldest working brewery in the US. They give tours of the brewery and the underground caves.

1. Our top spot could go to nothing else but the Philly Cheesesteak. In Philadelphia everyone has an opinion on where to get the best one in the city. But is you want the original it's Pat's King of Steaks.
