Besides Hamburger, Frankfurter and Neapolitaner, do you have other foods that are named after a city in similar pattern? (i.e. -er)

Berliner, Nürnberger Würstchen, Wiener Schnitzel, not city but a region Spreewald Gurken.
Be aware, they're "Wiener" sausages in Germany, but "Frankfurter" in Austria. Same product though.
Berliner: a jelly doughnut
Amerikaner: a kind of pastry
Not a food, but Pariser is another word for condom.
Edit: Note that many of these depend on the regional dialect. People in Berlin say Pfannkuchen instead of Berliner.
But we all now that people in Berlin don't know that they are wrong about that one.
There are also Nürnberger, a small Bratwurst.
Also, a lot of breweries resp. their beers are either called like the city they're from, or shortened to it.
Examples would be Tegernseer Hell, Erdinger Dunkel, and so on. There are likely hundreds like that all over Germany.
The cinnamon roll, schnecke, is named after the town where the inventor's slimy ex-girlfriend lived.
Everybody repeated it already, but it's Schnecke (the first e is short), not Schneke (which doesn't exist, but the first e would be long).
Oh whoops, fixed
Why slimy? Where can I find this story?
it's bullshit. Schneke just means snail, because the pastry looks like a snail.
schnecke is a really weird term of endearment

Spaghetti Bolognese is a dish that comes from – you knew this, I'm sure – Germany.
