The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 

One of the best Disney movies to ever be made. The movie was scorned by parents for its dark themes and edgy material- The main villain, sings a song about lust, and the movie deals with issues like racism and religious hypocrisy. Many fans of the original novel also criticized the movie for changing the plot to make it more kid friendly. Regardless, the movie has great music, animation, and character development, and should not be missed.
Hellfire is just one example of a great song from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996).

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
