Illinois immediately brings to mind Chicago-style pizza. My officemate, whose family lives in Illinois, claims that Chicago isn't Illinois, but we went with the pizza anyway :-). We followed the recipe from Cook's Illustrated http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/detail.asp?docid=21349. It takes a fair amount of time since the dough rises twice, and you have to simmer the sauce. It was worth it though! The pizza ties with the Texas style chili for my husband's favorite meal so far.
For Alabama we made the pecan pie at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pecan-pie/Detail.aspx. I used two cups of pecans though. Much more expensive, but also a much better ratio of pecans to goo. The filling was very buttery tasting and not too sweet - really excellent!.
