I submit that Texas shouldn't just be steak, but it should be chicken fried steak.

“Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas without eating a chicken fried steak.” - Larry McMurtry from 'In a Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas' (1968)

I say Texas, not only for food but for beautiful women :yeah:

:haha:

Those guys in Pittsburgh will not like being represented by a Philly cheesesteak. That makes the map all the better. :D

EDIT: Nevada buffets. Excellent!

Nevada :yeah::har:

Do they really eat green jeans in Utah? :o Or is it a piece of a tent? Survival food?

That's what I was wondering too; why did Utah get Green Jello?

Soylent Green. It is the radiating remains of the members of the Pentomic division. :O:

Jello is a very Mormon thing.

And I sure do miss RI coffee milk. I don't drink coffee, but I loved that stuff.

Aaaaahhh. I did not know that. :up:

Sad that they put pictures of chiles, but not NM chiles. Seranos, habañeros, Jalapeños... no Green chiles.

NM is also a large dairy state, and I think the 2d or 3d largest pistachio producer.

Now that's a tour I want to do :D, eating the US of A

well as someone who has traveled coast to coast, and had a legitimate reason to visit all but perhaps 3 of the states in this great land i'll say this much...


... foods by state is one place where stereotypes DEFINITELY apply :up:

thats one thing i love about traveling - because when it comes to girls, cigars, fine drink and dining... variety truly is the spice of life, and i rarely meet with cuisine in any of those categories that i dont enjoy.:D

I've been to a large majority of the states as well, and one of the keys to having a great time is telling random people you're from out of state and you "want a true taste of (insert state name here)'s food. Where should I go?"

Cabbies, bellhops and bartenders know some great places.

thats absolutely right.

I dont like going 800 miles to eat at a chain restaurant... i can do that 1 mile down the road. I like finding the mom and pop places, or those restaurants that are unique to the town. :up: they yield some of the best eatin' imaginable.

one of my favorite past times is the "$100 hamburger"... for those unfamiliar, that is loading up into a small private airplane with a buddy or two and finding an out of the way, hole in the wall place to fly into and have a bite to eat.

we went to this small louisiana town once and ate at what appeared on the exterior to be a nearly abandoned old truck stop or something, i had my doubts... but i'll tell ya - i have not found better crawfish anywhere yet.

here in my home town, we have a small place with 3 tables and a counter... run by a family of mexican immigrants. best Tamales I have ever had.

good food, like most things of high quality, must be searched out.:D
