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
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.
