Yes! For the shaved foie gras!
Paris, Berthillon - caramel ice cream, pear sorbet or cacao extra bitter sorbet
Buenos Aires - pizza at El Establo (I know it has great steak, but try the pizza!)
Montreal - bagels (still warm) from Fairmount Bagel Bakery and smoked meat from Ben's or Schwartz's
Richmond, VA - Lemon buttah (butter) cake
Quito, Ecuador - llapingachos and fresh jugo de naranjilla
Chicago (if I didn't already live here) for an Italian beef at Mr Beef (juicy and hot peppers) and deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's
St. Louis - buffalo wings at Culpepper's
Kauai - butterfish at Roy's Poipu

I definitely agree with tazi & ILP about Bestiari in BCN...everything I've had there was fantastic but oh...the foie...
Singapore - the murtabak, the chicken rice, the bak kwa, the char siu, nasi goreng, etc...
Bali - babi guling (especially at Mozaic...yummy)
Granada - Ruta del Veleta

I flew CAE (Columbia, SC) - SFO for Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl
I was working late one night and my co-worker and I had a craving for Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl. We started to call some local restraunts to find a place that would serve Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl. Since it was fall in South Carolina this proved to be somewhat of a challenge. Every place I called was out of bread bowls.
So I did the only logical thing a FTer would do, I booked the first flight out to SFO to get Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl down by the pier. My co-worker was shocked.

Hmmm. Pizza at El Establo? Have you had other pizza's around town? Wondering how it compares to my current favorite at Romario. But I agree pizza in BsAs is a relatively unknown to travelers great local food reason to go.

Germany for the best breads in the world, rouladen and schnitzel
Luxemburg for a gourmet restaurant in Ahn that serves small deep fried fish out of the Mosel river. You can eat the whole fish including the bones!
Girona Spain for the best mussels I have ever eaten. They were shapped like 4 inch long fingernails and I have never seem them anywhere else.
Brussels for the best chocolates
Paris for the best croissants
Vegas for chinese food as Mayflower Cuisiner (not near the Strip!)
Texas for BBQ and Whataburger burgers
Anywhere in Cali for In & Out burgers
Palm Springs for Shame on the Moon
I could go on forever but I'm getting hungry now!

I would go back to Budapest just to eat at Szent Jupat's. Wooden plates, cheap beer and gigantic pork schnitzel 
When we went back to Budapest in July 2005, we ate there like 3 times in a week.
