The Quiz: What U.S. city lends its name to a popular omelet?
Rochester, New York
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Key Largo, Florida
Denver, Colorado
Also known as a Western omelet, the Denver omelet has little to do with the city it’s named after. The dish often contains ham, onion, bell pepper, and sometimes cheese. Historians believe the Denver omelet is an evolution of a historic egg-filled sandwich, which was possibly created in the 19th century by Chinese railroad cooks as a transportable type of egg foo young. Eventually, the dish evolved into its breadless version that is more commonly found across the country.
The correct answer to this quiz is Denver, Colorado.
