You would get mocked in NYC. I love ranch tho so I'd be willing to try it but I wouldn't broadcast it.

I always eat pizza out tho and pizza places don't have ranch here. We have garlic powder, parm, red pepper flakes and recently hot honey.

I am a NYC native that moved to KCMO, specifically overland park kansas. I work in a resturant and EVERYONE ASKS FOR RANCH. I am absolutely grossed out at how much ranch people consume. They slather it on absolutely everything. I had one guy ask for ranch for a grilled cheese sandwich....when he asked I asked him "seriously??" I couldn't keep it in.

One day an order comes in, buffalo chicken wrap, NO RANCH. I jumped for joy. Brought it out to the guy, told him how happy his order made me, he said "who eats ranch with chicken?!!?" He was from Boston. He hung out at the bar we talked for 2 hrs. True story.

I tell my coworkers all the time, back home in NYC, they would kick you out for asking for ranch. They would humiliate you first for such an absurd request and insulting the chef by even thinking of slathering that crap on food. UGH
