Useful and yummy! Poor Utah!

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

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

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

EDIT: Nevada buffets. Excellent!

Do they really eat green jeans in Utah?

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.

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.

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

, 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

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.

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.

GoldenRivet · 01-15-11, 10:23 AM

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.

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.
