The spiedie (/ˈspiːdi/) is a food consisting of marinated meat that is often threaded onto skewers before being grilled and served on a long bread roll or sliced Italian bread. Spiedies are local to Binghamton in the central Southern Tier of New York,[1] and somewhat more broadly known and enjoyed throughout Central New York.[citation needed] A spiedie consists of cubes of chicken, pork, lamb, veal, venison or beef. The meat is marinated overnight or longer, then grilled on spits over a charcoal pit.

The traditional method involves serving freshly prepared cubes of lamb, chicken, or beef on soft Italian bread or a submarine roll, occasionally drizzled with fresh marinade. Spiedie meat can also be eaten straight off the skewer or can be served in salads, stir fries, and a number of other dishes. The marinade recipe varies, usually involving olive oil, vinegar, and a variety of Italian spices and fresh mint.
Spiedies have been celebrated at the Spiedie Fest and Balloon Rally in Binghamton, New York, every August since 1983.[1] The annual event includes a spiedie cook-off in search of the best spiedie recipes.
