Tbh, a lot of kentuckians have never had a hot brown. Outside Louisville, it's not a thing. Burgoo, mutton BBQ, Benedictine spread, derby pie...all more well-known.
Got it right that Michigan, specifically metro/ Detroit area, has out-of-towners making a stop just to try the coneys but the video being shown at -13:31 representing the Lafayette/American rivalry is definitely not either restaurant or even Detroit. Looks like an intern Googled "coney island" & nobody reviewed the news clip. It seems an apology to Detroit is in order... and fix the mistake please
The Coney Island Hot Dog is not what you need to try in Michigan, find yourself a Pasty on a cold day and you'll be more than ok. California seriously? Fortune Cookies?...I didn't see that coming 👀 Love, From Detroit
Although both are available across Michigan, Coney Dogs are more a south to mid-Michigan thing while Pasties are more a northern to upper penninsula thing...in general.
I was born and raised in Indiana. I am 52 and lived here all but 15 adult years, My parents lived here all of their lives and NEVER heard of Sugar Cream Pie until the last 2 years. Indiana is known for Breaded Tenderloin Sandwiches!
the problem with this video is you keep mixing meals/bakery/cooked foods with their staples like potatoes from Idaho, peaches from Georgia. that's like saying "go to china to try the rice." pick the state's most famous and popular created food, like you did with Chicago deep dish and many others.
New Mexico and enchiladas? Wow! (And, BTW NM is famous for their stacked enchiladas, with a fried egg on top, not the rolled ones you showed.) No, if you want to talk about food in New Mexico you talk about chiles (not chili…that’s a dish). New Mexico is so serious about it’s chile that it even has an official state question “Red or green?” That is what you are asked all around the state when you order so many dishes. There are 4 answers to this question: red, green, dry (none) or Christmas which means half of each over your dish. People here are able to eat it over their eggs in the morning as well as in their in their burgers at lunch, and almost anything at dinner time. If Colorado is so famous for their Pueblo green chile then why is it that Hatch green chiles are becoming popular all over the country? While traveling to other states I find that it’s the Hatch that is represented by name, not the Pueblo.
@@mtheriotx I've been in Colorado alot and everywhere I've eaten there, I've never heard anyone ask for green chili on their food or seen it on menus. In New Mexico people ask for it all the time and it's on menus, even fast food menus. Personally I think Colorado is more known for Bison meat, not green chili.
@@bishopman2308 I doubt you have ever been to Colorado then. It's a well known competition with new Mexico. There is a green chili cook off every year stop going to McDonald's kid.
Ikr. What about cheeseburgers, which we are also famous for, or the famous "chowder in a bread bowl" from the Bay Area. I could go list more foods from the top of my head, but fortune cookies would be the LAST thing on my list.
i used to live in the north suburbs of chicago...even in chicago the NYC pizza is still served more oftenly than deep dish...for the simple reason that a deep dish takes an hour to cook!!...but defo worth every second if u do have the time...
While boiled peanuts are very loved in the southern hub states from the gulf and up the east coast, in most of the eastern and middle counties of South Carolina and most of North Carolina pulled pork Barbecue with vinegar based sauce (not mustard, that is more western Carolina's) with an overwhelming amount of recipes for the sauce we all cook the pig/hog virtually the same, Low and slow over wood fired coals for hours on end usually over night until the skin pulls away from the bones and the the bones can be easily pulled from the joints. There is nothing quite like pulling that first strip of belly meat all crispy and juicy from the pit and savoring that wonderful charbroiled smokey flavor before you cut/chop/pull and sauce the meat it is close to heaven.
It's probably where you're located. You'll be hard pressed to find a Pasty south of the Bridge. Although we have a shop here in flint called King Arthur's Pasty Shop, they make some mean pasties! Oh and of course you've of Churches that have Pasty selling day in the fall :-)
I grew up in Colorado in the 60"s &70's...never heard of green chillies. I would've guessed that Colorado's food was Prime Rib, because of the cattle ranches. Used to work in a restaurant that was FAMOUS for Rocky Mountain Oysters.
Must not have grown up in anywhere in Denver. Green Chili is everywhere and on everything. It's Colorado gravy. NOBODY eats Rocky Mountian Oysters. NOBODY.
Why did you celebrate Colorado chili and give New Mexico enchiladas? Hatch chili is the state staple, and if you disagree come check out the chili roasters, the green chili so ubiquitous it's offered at McDonald's and Subway, and the many prepared chili sauces so coming you can get them at Smiths. I recommend Cervantes red chili sauce, spicy and peppery.
Queso? Are you serious?!? We’ve got brisket, pecan pies, chili, and freaking blue bell ice cream. We are the birth of Tex-Mex. and we’re known for our queso? Omg. Nerd rage!!!
I lived in colorado for 27 years and the green chili does not come close to New Mexico chili. Not a lot of restaurants ask specifically what type of chili you want in colorado but in New Mexico it’s on the menu no matter what restaurant even asian restaurants ask green red or christmas or New Mexico hot or mild?
well man in a respectfulness your completely wrong. New Mexico is a bunch of cry baybys that are sad because coloradoans took their trend and did it waay better.
I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't explain why Cincinnati chili is polarizing. It's not the chili con carne we're used to in the rest of the country. It's based on Greek cuisine and features cinnamon as part of its spice bill -- if you have ever had moussaka or pastitsio, Cincinnati chili will taste familiar.
I traveled to Buffalo, New York two years ago, and while there I actually got the chance to try Buffalo wings at the very restaurant where they originated, the Anchor Bar. Delicious!

As a Maine native, I want to thank you for show casing the Maine lobster roll as we natives eat it. I yell at the TV every time I see someone say they are making an authentic Maine lobster roll as they add all kinds of foo foo sauce and vegetables. They can make one anyway they want to, just don't call it authentic. The same thing happens with the Philly cheese steak. My husband is from Philly and he yells at the TV when people start adding stuff that doesn't belong on an authentic Philly cheese steak.
Chicago pizza is the BEST on the planet. My husband and I ran a Chicago-style pizza place in Billings MT. for 15 years. Customers who ate pizza in Italy told us that ours was better. Nobody wanted to buy the place after we closed in 2008 because "it was too much work". But even now people ask, "When are you going to make that pizza again?" I've never tried wings, and they just don't appeal to me. I have to add that there is nothing better than REAL maple syrup, and maple sugar candy. It's to die for.
@@chrissygerwitz520- I've had pizza in MANY states. My husband and I also ran a successful Chicago Deep Dish Pizza place in Billings, Mt. for 15 years. No one wanted to buy it because it was "too much work". If you're not a professional cook, shut your pie hole. Pun intended.

I was super disappointed that your examples of New Mexico enchiladas were all rolled. My family is from there and for us a stacked enchilada is the only way to go.
You have the southeastern Michigan food right the Coney dog. However, we have two parts to our beautiful state we also have our Upper Peninsula ( Da UP) which has its own famous food, the Pastie, (beef, carrots, potatoes, and rutabaga baked in a pastry dough) Which was a staple food for the copper miners. And now loved by everyone.
NM is the chili capital of the world we have the biggest hottest fields, we even have it on our license plates. Colorado is known for Marijuana dont get it twisted
I can’t believe that’s all they had to say about Minnesota. You guys just call it a casserole. And we call it hot dish. I can’t believe they couldn’t come up with something more original.
I was born and raised in Alabama too. I have heard of it and eaten it but I didn't like it and it's not something you find in any restaurants around here either.
Being from the east coast, I'm not sure I'm ready to agree that Chicago deep-dish is in fact "pizza", but I DO respect it for being incredibly f**king delicious
I was rather disappointed that there wasn’t any mention of the Horseshoe Sandwich (open face hamburger with a thick slice of American Cheese topped generously with French Fries and then smothered in Cheddar Cheese Sauce) a tradition in central Illinois - or the Maid Rite (a loose meat, ground beef, sandwich with a unique combustion of flavorings) a tradition in the Quad Cities of Illinois and Iowa - Illinois is so much more than just Chicago. Would also have liked to see Cornish Pasty mentioned that are traditions in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota.
Hell no New Mexico is known for green chile. Every place you go you in this state you are asked red or green. We even have chile on our cars license plate almost every thing we eat has chile in it
As a Coloradan who is originally from New Mexico, New Mexico is known for their Green Chile more than Colorado is. Hatch, New Mexico is literally the Chile Capitol of the World. We use our Chile in enchiladas, but Green Chile is New Mexico's signature food, not Colorado's. Again, this is coming from someone who grew up in New Mexico and doesn't have many favorable things to say about the state.
Yeah im in Houston and even though people eat Queso, i don't think it should be mentioned as a famous "Texas" food. They even put Buffalo Wings for New York. smh
Florida potatoes are excellent but the main growing region, near St. Augustine, is relatively small. There’s even a place called Spuds. Pigs are not naturally vegetarians, nor are chickens…
NMSU New Mexico State University agriculture department LITERALLY invented Green Chile while doing research on crops that don't need to be rotated.... End of argument New Mexico invented Green Chile it's ours...
I grew up in NH and I never heard of an apple cider donut. Might be an orchard thing, but apple cider really is a thing as well as apple based products in general. I'm really surprised haddock wasn't what was mentioned, though.
I love cider donuts, but I grew up with them. Oh, they have them here in New England, but if I want a delicate, cakey one, I get them from the Hacklebarney cider mill back in NJ.
Georgian born and bred here: Chik'fil'a and Coke are our most famous food pretty easily. The problem with Ga and lists like this is that Ga's identity is the peach, but it's not even close to our best/famous food if you're local. In fact, we tend to make better/the definitive versions of all the Southern staples like pork bbq and the fixings that come with it, fruits like watermelon, soul food, fried shrimp and grits, burgers, banana pudding, boiled peanuts, fried chicken (multiple chicken fast food giants come from Ga), etc. that surrounding states like to claim on lists like this. 'Bama does cakes and deserts better than anyone and has white bbq though. Florida and Cuban food go hand and hand as well as the big chocolatier and ice cream industry there. South Carolina has mustard bbq and some unique Gullah food but could claim their version of shrimp and grits (and sweet grits ya nasty). Anywho, to all list-makers out there, do more research. Your google-fu must become stronger. Because if I know you did the south-east dirty then 100% it's not the only place that needs more love.
The meat on a coney dog isn't quite chili, it's "coney sauce" because it has spices and a thickening agent (flour or cornstarch, etc) as opposed to chili which typically is more watery.
@@mattiaslp9645 No. Chili is much more watery. Whether it's made with beans or not, it's more loose and watery and not as thick as coney sauce. Chili also often includes tomatoes, but coney sauce does not. The spices used are quite different as well.
If the sugar cream pie is so famous then how come it's a quest to find a bakery in the state that makes it, what we're famous for now is the pork tenderloin sandwich. Thin and crispy on a Kaiser roll with mustard onions and pickles
I’m from Illinios, and I’ll take the pork tenderloin sandwich any day. I eat mine with just mustard though since onions don’t agree with me. I get angry when I’ve gone to state and county fairs and the vendors give credit for those tenderloin sandwiches to Texas. Maybe it’s just because the tenderloin is so big around, but you gotta give credit where credit is due.
California should be known for our Mexican food. Outside of Mexico i think we have the best Mexican food in this country. I've tasted Mexican food in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas (these 3 states are our closest competition)... we have them all beat by a large margin.
it just depends. I've tried it from cali and in some places it was amazing while in other, not so much. grew up in the most hispanic part of phoenix in az though so I'm dead smack in the closest to actual mexican here in this area, but go out just a bit and the mexican gets super whitewashed lol. Both places are tied to me, but definitely much better than NM and TX.
Iowa actually is known for its pork tenderloin. There are contests for the best pork tenderloin sandwich and maps to prize winning locations that serve them, recognition from the Iowa Pork Assoc if you get your map stamped showing you ate a tenderloin at each location.
For me, Louisiana would be a toss-up between a po' boy, beignet and muffaletta. New Mexico would be Hatch chilies first with Navaho fry bread and that wonderful Mexican or combination Mex-Native American foods around Santa Fe and Taos. Texas, brisket and BBQ, not queso. California, Mexican food with guacamole. I could go on but who wrote this idiocy?
You used a pic of garden huckleberry for huckleberry. The former is a Solanaceae family plant (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, even deadly nightshade) than is grown as a summer garden annual plant in mid Atlantic, north and south US. The latter is the proper huckleberry-in the same Ericaceae family as blueberry, cranberry, heather, lingonberry, bear berries, azaleas, rhododendron, mountain laurel, etc, it is a shrub that grows in colder regions and looks more like blueberries with the crown divot.
Live in Ohio and though Cincinnati Style Chili is the State's famous food, that is only true for the Central/Southern parts of Ohio. I lived in Columbus for 28 yrs and then moved to the NE Ohio area (west of Akron, husband born/raised in Lakewood, suburb of Cleveland) and he had never heard of Cincinnati style chili, nor had eaten it until I made some. Not only that but there are not many restaurants that make it. So even though the central Ohio area has many restaurants that serve that chili, in Northern Ohio it is practically unheard. If I had to say state famous food, I would have said Buckeyes. These are universal throughout the whole state. For Northern Ohio, such as the Cleveland area, pierogies are eaten more than the chili.
Virginia ham is iconic but most of us have never tried Smithfield ham and don’t eat it. It’s an export and expensive. Oysters are more of a thing here.
I guess it depends where in the state you grew up in, but I generally associate MA with roast beef sandwiches or grilled Italian sausage in a bun with peppers and onions pilled high. Never had "baked beans" in my life either.
Yeah Baked Beans, though created in Boston, are used all over, and really not that special or specific to Massachusetts. If this list is supposed to be things not readily available in other states, then they failed on that front.
@@aidenlikesgreninja526 no, there are Boston baked beans which are different. Also, the French Canadian type are also sold here. Roast beef sandwiches, although delicious, are only popular in the North shore.
As someone who has lived in Minnesota my whole life, I've only had "hotdish" maybe twice (and never call it hotdish). I'm really not sure where this idea that we eat this food all the time came from, but it's honestly boring and untrue. I feel like the people who makes these lists have never really traveled to these states. Also, tater tot hotdish isn't good. Please don't think it's something you should eat and think all Minnesotans enjoy.
Hotdish (tater tots or not) is so well-known throughout Minnesota; I’ve had some delicious ones (and, yes, some boring ones), but it’s so standard here I can’t believe you’re a native.
@@lolacorinne5384 I guess maybe we call it a casserole? Potato/Potahtoh . Either way, I see so many of these lists showing tater tot hotdish as the essential Minnesota food and I just can't agree. And please don't question my status as a "native" based on whether or not I eat hotdish. I'm still born and raised, regardless of my ability to make better food than tater tot hotdish.
A lot of people aren’t happy with this list, I can understand why, but thank god they got Wisconsin right, if it was anything other than cheese curds idve rioted
Why deep dish pizza? what about Chicago style hotdogs, or Italian beef. Those are distinctly Illinois/Chicago food. I mean the northern part of Illinois is part of chicagos sphere of infulence but when i associate chicago with food it is either gyros, Vienna Beef hotdogs Chicago style or Italian beef.
Yeah, I think she's confusing "New England Clam Chowder" with "Boston Baked Beans". But hey, this channel isn't about informing people. It's a place for us to rant about their crappy selections and poor reviews.
Alaska = King Crab?!? Wrong: Alaska = Salmon. No matter where you go in Alaska there is Salmon! Washington = Salmon?!? Wrong! Half of the salmon they sell at the Pike Place Market is Alaskan; one location does not define 'Washington" - Technically Washington = Apple. I love the golden delicious myself! One thing that comes to mind is Clam Chowder! "Keep Clam!!!" Up and down the Puget Sound is "Ivar's Seafood" wither it be 'bar's' or the "Acres of Clams" on the Seattle waterfront, "Salmon House" on Lake Union, etc. OH! Once you've had the Clam Chowder, and after you've tasted the goodness of the "Alaskan True Cod" fish and chips, you need to indulge yourself with the Wild Alaskan Halibut & Chips or Wild Alaskan Salmon & Chips! I love the Halibut & Chips myself :) The Salmon House on Lake Union is special and definitely well worth it. Ivar Haglund has been an Icon in the greater Seattle area since 1938. I was born and raised in Seattle. Fish and chips up and down the east coast & west coast do not compare, neither does any of the clam chowder; wither it be at 'budget shops' or even some upper scale places - none compare to Ivar's! Sure - it could be that I love it because I grew up on it... But I know many converts that now say that Ivar's does have the best.
What food do you think represents your state?

However, we have two parts to our beautiful state we also have our Upper Peninsula ( Da UP) which has its own famous food, the Pastie, (beef, carrots, potatoes, and rutabaga baked in a pastry dough) Which was a staple food for the copper miners. And now loved by everyone.
I KNEW Ohio was going to be Skyline Chili.
NM is the chili capital of the world we have the biggest hottest fields, we even have it on our license plates. Colorado is known for Marijuana dont get it twisted
Fried pickles burritos Oreo great.spam is great,a pizza is pizza . The hot brown helps you get over a great night..Boston clam chowder,
I can’t believe that’s all they had to say about Minnesota. You guys just call it a casserole. And we call it hot dish. I can’t believe they couldn’t come up with something more original.
Fortune cookies for California? What about Dungeness crabs? Stupid list.
Yeah fortune cookies is a pretty weak choice. What the hell? I would choose fish tacos for California.
Just asked a born and raised Alabama citizen about the Lane Cake, they’ve never heard of it.
I was born and raised in Alabama too. I have heard of it and eaten it but I didn't like it and it's not something you find in any restaurants around here either.
Being from the east coast, I'm not sure I'm ready to agree that Chicago deep-dish is in fact "pizza", but I DO respect it for being incredibly f**king delicious
Lived in Indiana all my life, never knew that was our state pie 😂
Hands Down New Mexico has the best green Chiles period
I was rather disappointed that there wasn’t any mention of the Horseshoe Sandwich (open face hamburger with a thick slice of American Cheese topped generously with French Fries and then smothered in Cheddar Cheese Sauce) a tradition in central Illinois - or the Maid Rite (a loose meat, ground beef, sandwich with a unique combustion of flavorings) a tradition in the Quad Cities of Illinois and Iowa - Illinois is so much more than just Chicago. Would also have liked to see Cornish Pasty mentioned that are traditions in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota.
Just saw Illinois's food. Of course it's a Chicago food.
Hell no New Mexico is known for green chile. Every place you go you in this state you are asked red or green. We even have chile on our cars license plate almost every thing we eat has chile in it
This is outstanding. I just enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks.
As a Coloradan who is originally from New Mexico, New Mexico is known for their Green Chile more than Colorado is. Hatch, New Mexico is literally the Chile Capitol of the World. We use our Chile in enchiladas, but Green Chile is New Mexico's signature food, not Colorado's. Again, this is coming from someone who grew up in New Mexico and doesn't have many favorable things to say about the state.
Are you insane?! queso for Texas? I am not cursing lol because you mentioned bbq as well... but cmon!
Yeah im in Houston and even though people eat Queso, i don't think it should be mentioned as a famous "Texas" food. They even put Buffalo Wings for New York. smh
Florida potatoes are excellent but the main growing region, near St. Augustine, is relatively small. There’s even a place called Spuds.
Pigs are not naturally vegetarians, nor are chickens…
NMSU New Mexico State University agriculture department LITERALLY invented Green Chile while doing research on crops that don't need to be rotated.... End of argument New Mexico invented Green Chile it's ours...
So you invented it and we made it better. Winning
@@birgittesilverbow8217 Colorado chiles are very much inferior.
Thank you for mentioning Florida with oranges
I grew up in NH and I never heard of an apple cider donut. Might be an orchard thing, but apple cider really is a thing as well as apple based products in general. I'm really surprised haddock wasn't what was mentioned, though.
I love cider donuts, but I grew up with them. Oh, they have them here in New England, but if I want a delicate, cakey one, I get them from the Hacklebarney cider mill back in NJ.
Georgian born and bred here: Chik'fil'a and Coke are our most famous food pretty easily.
The problem with Ga and lists like this is that Ga's identity is the peach, but it's not even close to our best/famous food if you're local. In fact, we tend to make better/the definitive versions of all the Southern staples like pork bbq and the fixings that come with it, fruits like watermelon, soul food, fried shrimp and grits, burgers, banana pudding, boiled peanuts, fried chicken (multiple chicken fast food giants come from Ga), etc. that surrounding states like to claim on lists like this.
'Bama does cakes and deserts better than anyone and has white bbq though. Florida and Cuban food go hand and hand as well as the big chocolatier and ice cream industry there. South Carolina has mustard bbq and some unique Gullah food but could claim their version of shrimp and grits (and sweet grits ya nasty).
Anywho, to all list-makers out there, do more research. Your google-fu must become stronger. Because if I know you did the south-east dirty then 100% it's not the only place that needs more love.
You're really going to claim BBQ pork over NC and TN?
@@loki2240 pulled pork - yes. Pork ribs - no.
The meat on a coney dog isn't quite chili, it's "coney sauce" because it has spices and a thickening agent (flour or cornstarch, etc) as opposed to chili which typically is more watery.
so chili? 🤣
@@mattiaslp9645 No. Chili is much more watery. Whether it's made with beans or not, it's more loose and watery and not as thick as coney sauce. Chili also often includes tomatoes, but coney sauce does not. The spices used are quite different as well.
False
I'm from Texas and we don't take queso seriously.
Crawfish pies are the very best here in Louisiana and try to get the ones with Louisiana crawfish, It makes a difference in the taste.
If the sugar cream pie is so famous then how come it's a quest to find a bakery in the state that makes it, what we're famous for now is the pork tenderloin sandwich. Thin and crispy on a Kaiser roll with mustard onions and pickles
The Hoosier pie
My great grandmother made it once for thanksgiving and it gave me a sugar headache, I was 4 and it gave me a headache cuz it was so sickening sweet
I’m from Illinios, and I’ll take the pork tenderloin sandwich any day. I eat mine with just mustard though since onions don’t agree with me. I get angry when I’ve gone to state and county fairs and the vendors give credit for those tenderloin sandwiches to Texas. Maybe it’s just because the tenderloin is so big around, but you gotta give credit where credit is due.
California should be known for our Mexican food. Outside of Mexico i think we have the best Mexican food in this country. I've tasted Mexican food in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas (these 3 states are our closest competition)... we have them all beat by a large margin.
I agree but even more specifically I would choose fish tacos.
it just depends. I've tried it from cali and in some places it was amazing while in other, not so much. grew up in the most hispanic part of phoenix in az though so I'm dead smack in the closest to actual mexican here in this area, but go out just a bit and the mexican gets super whitewashed lol. Both places are tied to me, but definitely much better than NM and TX.
New Mexico has great Mexican food as well!
Taco al pastor was invented in San Diego I think
Massachusetts is also also the birthplace of Boston Cream Pie, Nestle Toll House Cookies, Parker House Rolls, and fluffernutter sandwiches
Texas:
Whatever walks, deep fried 😂😂😂
Iowa actually is known for its pork tenderloin. There are contests for the best pork tenderloin sandwich and maps to prize winning locations that serve them, recognition from the Iowa Pork Assoc if you get your map stamped showing you ate a tenderloin at each location.
YES!!!! I lived in Iowa for over 20 years, and recently moved to Georgia. Never heard of the bacon. and am CRAVING a decent pork tenderloin!!
For me, Louisiana would be a toss-up between a po' boy, beignet and muffaletta. New Mexico would be Hatch chilies first with Navaho fry bread and that wonderful Mexican or combination Mex-Native American foods around Santa Fe and Taos. Texas, brisket and BBQ, not queso. California, Mexican food with guacamole. I could go on but who wrote this idiocy?
You used a pic of garden huckleberry for huckleberry. The former is a Solanaceae family plant (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, even deadly nightshade) than is grown as a summer garden annual plant in mid Atlantic, north and south US.
The latter is the proper huckleberry-in the same Ericaceae family as blueberry, cranberry, heather, lingonberry, bear berries, azaleas, rhododendron, mountain laurel, etc, it is a shrub that grows in colder regions and looks more like blueberries with the crown divot.
Milk is not really a food. It's a beverage to me.
I would have thought of Fried Green Tomatoes for Alabama? Or White Barbeque Sauce?
Spam is made in Minnesota
Missouri we like barbecue, imos, and gooey butter cake.
For a serious Po' Boy you need Louisiana Remoulade Sauce - talk about good!
Queso for Texas? Come on, it’s BBQ you fools!
Pat and Genoa for the tourist delasandros is THE cheesesteak spot
Crawfish pies in Louisiana my favorite
Central Illinois, Horshoes
I feel like the Philly cheesesteak goes without saying for pa lol
Born and raised in South Dakota until I joined the military at 18…never even heard of fry bread 🤷🏾♂️
For the love of God, KY has more than the hot brown. How about burgoo? Or rolled oysters? Or the Benedictine sandwich spread? Or derby pie?
Colorado chile better than New Mexico? Them's fightin' words!
Hot brown, po boy looks yummy!
Live in Ohio and though Cincinnati Style Chili is the State's famous food, that is only true for the Central/Southern parts of Ohio. I lived in Columbus for 28 yrs and then moved to the NE Ohio area (west of Akron, husband born/raised in Lakewood, suburb of Cleveland) and he had never heard of Cincinnati style chili, nor had eaten it until I made some. Not only that but there are not many restaurants that make it. So even though the central Ohio area has many restaurants that serve that chili, in Northern Ohio it is practically unheard. If I had to say state famous food, I would have said Buckeyes. These are universal throughout the whole state.
For Northern Ohio, such as the Cleveland area, pierogies are eaten more than the chili.
Virginia ham is iconic but most of us have never tried Smithfield ham and don’t eat it. It’s an export and expensive. Oysters are more of a thing here.
I guess it depends where in the state you grew up in, but I generally associate MA with roast beef sandwiches or grilled Italian sausage in a bun with peppers and onions pilled high. Never had "baked beans" in my life either.
Yeah Baked Beans, though created in Boston, are used all over, and really not that special or specific to Massachusetts. If this list is supposed to be things not readily available in other states, then they failed on that front.
@@aidenlikesgreninja526 no, there are Boston baked beans which are different. Also, the French Canadian type are also sold here. Roast beef sandwiches, although delicious, are only popular in the North shore.
PORK ROLL !
YAYAYAYAYAYAY !
As someone who has lived in Minnesota my whole life, I've only had "hotdish" maybe twice (and never call it hotdish). I'm really not sure where this idea that we eat this food all the time came from, but it's honestly boring and untrue. I feel like the people who makes these lists have never really traveled to these states. Also, tater tot hotdish isn't good. Please don't think it's something you should eat and think all Minnesotans enjoy.
Uff dah hotdish is at every church potluck dinner.
Hotdish (tater tots or not) is so well-known throughout Minnesota; I’ve had some delicious ones (and, yes, some boring ones), but it’s so standard here I can’t believe you’re a native.
@@lolacorinne5384 I guess maybe we call it a casserole? Potato/Potahtoh
. Either way, I see so many of these lists showing tater tot hotdish as the essential Minnesota food and I just can't agree. And please don't question my status as a "native" based on whether or not I eat hotdish. I'm still born and raised, regardless of my ability to make better food than tater tot hotdish.
I live in indiana my whole life never heard of or had this pie in indiana and i am 60 years old.
I’m born and raised in Kansas 37 years now and I have never even heard of bierocks
A lot of people aren’t happy with this list, I can understand why, but thank god they got Wisconsin right, if it was anything other than cheese curds idve rioted
florida should have been the cuban sandwich
Why does the narrator drag out the last word of every sentence?
I want oysters 😃
Npc
Why deep dish pizza?
what about Chicago style hotdogs, or Italian beef. Those are distinctly Illinois/Chicago food. I mean the northern part of Illinois is part of chicagos sphere of infulence but when i associate chicago with food it is either gyros, Vienna Beef hotdogs Chicago style or Italian beef.
Is Boston Clam Chowder what other people call New England Clam Chowder?
Yeah, I think she's confusing "New England Clam Chowder" with "Boston Baked Beans". But hey, this channel isn't about informing people. It's a place for us to rant about their crappy selections and poor reviews.
Whoever compiled this list is truly clueless in regards to the best Texas cuisine.

Green Chile is way better in NM! This video lost all credibility with that horrible take!
Alaska = King Crab?!? Wrong: Alaska = Salmon. No matter where you go in Alaska there is Salmon! Washington = Salmon?!? Wrong! Half of the salmon they sell at the Pike Place Market is Alaskan; one location does not define 'Washington" - Technically Washington = Apple. I love the golden delicious myself! One thing that comes to mind is Clam Chowder! "Keep Clam!!!" Up and down the Puget Sound is "Ivar's Seafood" wither it be 'bar's' or the "Acres of Clams" on the Seattle waterfront, "Salmon House" on Lake Union, etc. OH! Once you've had the Clam Chowder, and after you've tasted the goodness of the "Alaskan True Cod" fish and chips, you need to indulge yourself with the Wild Alaskan Halibut & Chips or Wild Alaskan Salmon & Chips! I love the Halibut & Chips myself :) The Salmon House on Lake Union is special and definitely well worth it. Ivar Haglund has been an Icon in the greater Seattle area since 1938. I was born and raised in Seattle. Fish and chips up and down the east coast & west coast do not compare, neither does any of the clam chowder; wither it be at 'budget shops' or even some upper scale places - none compare to Ivar's! Sure - it could be that I love it because I grew up on it... But I know many converts that now say that Ivar's does have the best.
Jello for Utah? Yes we eat a lot, but if you're talking culture is gotta be funeral potatoes
