My wife is originally from west of Cleveland... she agrees with you, VideoPaul, that Romanburgers rock. I am surprised they don't make you sign a health waiver first. 
For the curious, Mr. Hero
My additions....
Pittsburgh PA for Primanti Brother's Fish Sandwich and Quaker Steak & Lube wings (as good, if not better, than those in Buffalo)
Huntersville NC (north suburb of CLT) for A Taste of Buffalo for their wings and Friday fish fry (as good as many in Buffalo because it's run by people from Buffalo)
Buffalo, NY for Friday fish fry, Beef on Weck, Bison Pepperoni and Cohen's Rye Bread (there is none better)
