i want an S-Tier showdown where you invite a chef from each state and have them all create their states food, best food wins!
I’d watch that
Wisconsin instantly wins, Our cheese is the absolute best there is hands down
I'd love to see Faidley's chef invited to make her crab cakes, someone literally had their ashes spread in her dining area.
@@17thshard62 wing stop isn’t it 😁
@@B1GW0RM46 My man did you finish the video? Wisconsin got demoted lmao
Joshua is banned from dining in Wisconsin until an apology is issued for calling cheese curds "chode mozzarella sticks" bc how dare you forget we make cheddar ones
Fried cheddar chodes😋
Don't forget pepperjack cheese curds. Those are the goat
you are right
Yeah, what the actual hell Josh?? You did it wrong. Banned. Not buying your cookbook until this is rectified.
I suspect the problem might be the quality of the cheese. I'm not from Wisconsin, but I've had curds made from the freshest, most delicious Wisconsin cheese, and they were AMAZING!!!
If these guys actually went to all of the states and have locals cook it for them, they would change their minds.
Yeah i gave up on CT pizza i lived there pepes sals pizza It's a joke not to go to the places its cooked proper by locals
Quote i never had clam chowder before Next Lost all respect
Yeah gonna say you haven't had Nashville Hot till ya had it in Nashville
Sure 💀
So glad to see MD crab cakes went straight to to top. They can very WILDLY in quality depending on where you get them, but when done right they are truly a transcendent experience.
I was so excited too! As a Maryland native who moved to Kentucky - I have had some atrocious "Maryland style" crab cakes in some of the restaurants.
I literally clapped. I haven’t had a good crab cake since leaving home

Thank you

Thank u
doing the lords work
You should do this with european countries that would be freaking awsome! An hour project with the full spectrum would be so amazing.
Yes, please!
careful, this might gonna cause WW3 💀
What a fantastic idea! Please do it Josh!!
i know for a fact almost that my country would get screwed unless they chose one dish from here Lohikeitto which is like creamy salmon soup from finland everything tastes good here in my opinion i just think the soup would be best for the american palette
Italy would easily win
Funeral potatoes are great if cooked properly with the correct ingredients
yeah, that was not funeral potatoes. that was a sad hashbrown casserole.
ikr? its cream and potatoes like the flavor is all up to u bud lol
No
My grandmother used to make chocolate gravy and biscuits every time we came over for brunch. Core memory, taste of childhood. It is definitely an Arkansas exclusive, and I love that all three of you hated to love it 🤣🤣
Same, passed down her recipe to us and we make it about once a month
Dang I’m from Kentucky and it’s my favorite food. Mom would make it for me everytime I had a snow day so it’s so nostalgic.

THIS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE PINNED!
The fact that they ended choosing a burger after stating other items weren’t “special or revolutionary” is wild.
They also dogged on the next burger which was at least interesting with the green chilli's but no the plain burger with onions is somehow the best dish....
cant fix perfection baybee@@TheBGYeti
@@hughmoore8781💯 😎
because it's biased based off preparation. some were simply seasoned and made better than the other dishes. they were basing all their scores based off taste which means if it rated low it just means the chef that made it sucked
@@TheBGYeti the chili one only had mayo. the onion one had some special sauce on it. I guarantee that's what swayed the vote.
Ohioan here. I knew when you cited your ingredients that you were going to score it low. I have tried your way and had the same lackluster results, regardless of the quality of the ingredients that I'd use. The actual restaurant experience is far superior to my efforts at replication.
Upon clicking on this site, I was dreading the long litany of dishes and states; however your expertise in cheffing and the nuanced descriptions of the food items by the judges made for a quite enjoyable time. Thanks! 😮😊
Northern Ohioan here. I genuinely don’t get it. I’ve been to one of the restaurants, it’s terrible.
Its a regional dish for a reason. Being from cinci I love it. My wife from NE ohio hates it. I do think his half assed effort to make it didnt do it any favors. Using the spice packets you can make a good approximation at home. His cheese selection was also sub optimal.
I feel like buckeyes are more of an Ohio staple then Cincinnati style chili
@@LordVladameirAgreed, should have been the chocolate and peanut butter buckeyes.
@@LordVladameirbuckeyes are snackfood. They are not a "dish." That would be like voting for M&Ms for Pennsylvania
After your Connecticut review, this channel cannot be taken seriously. I can't believe I almost bought your cookbook.
I agree. Not even close.
Completely agree after the scrapple I was done bc who tf makes scrapple without flour
Yeah these TWOTs slandered the greatest pizza there is. Can’t trust them.
That lobster roll you used for Maine is actually a Connecticut lobster roll. The Maine lobster roll is the cold lobster roll, made with mayonnaise. The hot lobster roll with melted butter is Connecticut.
They messed up a few things here. They allowed Arkansas to claim chocolate gravy and biscuits and that is an original Tennessee breakfast that likely started because of the Spanish trade in the Appalachian mountains. Also I disagree with some of the stuff they allowed to be voted so high and then some of the stuff they voted so low.
@@kristinlanders1481 this is youtube, not reddit.
I guess I'm going to Connecticut then lol. Who ruins lobster with mayo?
Yup I live in Bahston and that's exactly what I was thinking!
Agree - the warm, buttered lobster roll is a Connecticut thing. Go to Lobster Landing in Clinton for a good one. Why did they choose the bland, plain apizza (“ah-beetz”) for Connecticut? Ugh, my dad orders that all the time and rants about why pizza is better without mozzarella. It isn’t, it’s just bland. People not from Connecticut, I promise you that in New Haven, you can get apizza with mozzarella and the traditional toppings, too. And it’s good - way better than the bland kind. My favorite is Modern Apizza on State Street.
You make it look so easy
👍
Good
Nice
Good😊

To be fair to MN, my home state, you need to shovel snow for 2 hours while it snows before eating it. C is great if you're going to judge it from TX and put it up against brisket.
Grew up eating Runza in Nebraska... They do NOT have sauerkraut in them. It's ground beef and straight cabbage cooked with a healthy dose of black pepper.
And onion… which is why I wouldn’t eat it growing up
Yeah never had a runza with sauerkraut in it but honestly it sounds pretty good.
Yeah you can get different styles too like cheeseburger runza or bbq
I really like this video as a non American. Many people say that the USA doesn't have a culture or a cuisine, but being a "foodie" myself, I wanted to believe differently and you have proved it to me. I have a new goal in this country, try as many of these dishes as I can, and talk about American food as a thing ☺️ Food is a great gateway to appreciate culture, and you have made me appreciate this country a bit more.
I applaud your ability to open your eyes to it, many assume we somehow have adopted no culture, when in fact we have mixes of several different ones in every state that mesh into its own breed of culture. People refuse to see it because we’re Americans.
Anyone who says this is incredibly ignorant. American culture is a huge conglomeration of cultures; did culture just die somewhere along the line?
As far as stereotypical "American" goes: what the hell is wrong with hamburgers, fried chicken, green salad, mashed potatoes or French fries, roasted turkey, chili, shrimp boil, cole slaw, or iced tea?
Come eat an Onion Burger in Oklahoma. I’ll take you to Sid’s Diner in El Reno, Oklahoma. God bless you, and God bless Oklahoma! 🔥 ♥️
People outside of the US are usually pretty negative and pretty much hateful towards the country. I don't pay attention to the haters, they're as ignorant as they think we are. Hypocritical I must say.
You're not a "foodie" if you think America is cultureless.
As someone who lives in Oklahoma, it was so nice to see my state be #1 in something that wasn't related to teen pregnancy or meth.
😂
fr
My hometown ....
That burger's probably secretly laced with meth 💀💀
Don’t forget the tornados 🌪️
This has been the most fun food video I've seen on UA-cam. Kudos to the team!
As an Oregonian I was wondering what Oregon was going to be. As soon as he said "Marionberry Pie" I felt stupid for not knowing that was going to be the choice....... Then they proceed to eat it wrong. A Marionberry Pie should have a big dollop of whip cream on it if severed cold, but the best way is sever it hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I don't know many people who just eat it plain unless that is the only option.
Also, the only person I know that would choose Blueberries over a Marionberry is my mother. If Marionberry isn't your style here than go with a regular Blackberry or Mixed berry. Strawberry rhubarb is also very popular.
The problem with ranking funeral potatoes is that you haven’t had them made by a grandma that’s been making it their whole life. Nor my moms potatoes, hers are the best
Came here to say exactly this. They don’t know what good funeral potatoes are until you go to Utah and have a neighbor bring them to you when you move to their block.
They looked nothing like the funeral potatoes I've had
they have to actually go to these states and look for who makes these dishes the best and then rate. Almost all the ones they came are good, are simple basic food that's good anywhere
@@DELOS13 Yeah.
Maybe I have some bias being a Utahn, but I do genuinely think they / Josh just didn't make the funeral potatoes correctly. everyone in this thread is correct, you haven't had real Funeral Potatoes until you've had them made by a Utahn who has been making them for funerals, family reunions, etc. for decades.
"boring from a culinary standpoint" gave chocolate on bread an S💀
Bro are you telling me chocolate on bread is not a culinary masterpiece?
To be fair, they thought they were going to hate it, not like it.
A perfect chocolate sauce might be too strong, but spreading it out over a delicious flaky bun/biscuit is a type of French desert cuisine so... yeah it, and very many foods like it, are S tier on their own. For example, blueberry pancakes with maple syrup.
No salt
Taylor ha , CHS on toast mustard no extra salt
Kansas City Missouri resident here. The choice for Missouri is undoubtedly burnt ends. BBQ is the greatest cuisine in America and burnt ends are one of the greatest bites in BBQ. And they were invented in Kansas City Missouri.
I also agree and I'm from Kansas right outside KC. Kansas definitely is German and so is Missouri and I'm not made at the bierocks but if you go for KC Missouri or even KCK it's burnt ends. Every bbq spot on both sides of the state lines has a burnt end option OR at least you go ribs.
Respectfully, Utah will keep our aunt's secret funeral potatoes recipe secret because if not done very right, yes, they are subpar. However, there's always that one recipe in the family that is UNBELIEVABLY good.
I'm from Louisiana adjacent, Mississippi, so I have to say something. Gumbo made with the right spicing and ingredients isnt like anything else on the planet. File powder (sassafras leaf), okra, brick rue or darker, the caribbean, african, french influence. It incorporates a lot of flavors from all over the place. Locally its made rustic with whole chicken thighs (skin on), and Andouille sausage.
The reason you keep land to land and sea to sea is because of the stock is different for each one. The land uses chicken stock made usually from scratch from the bird you cut up for the gumbo and the sea version uses a shrimp stock that utilizes the shrimp peels from fresh shrimp.
I'm not from but live in Louisiana and have been here for a third of my life now. I've always been told that the mixing of land and sea in gumbo is a huge no no in authentic Gumbo. I've had mixed versions that are really delicious, but they're not "traditional" (at least in the way I've had people tell me to make it) and if this video is supposed to try and get the dish as close as possible to the regional one, then mixing was a mistake IMO.
New Orleans native here living in the cuisine wasteland of Denver, CO and I agree 100%
As a Louisiana native, I have to agree. I don't know that I've ever had them mixed. Seafood gumbo is top-tier for me though.
@@bpierc6I'm a chicken and sausage kinda guy normally. But yeah mixed was delicious but atypical.
Born and raised in LA, I've never had seafood gumbo. I've always had chicken and sausage. Will also say that I just won't order anything Cajun off a menu outside of that region of the south because it has never been correct for me. Locally made Cajun is difficult for a non-Cajun to replicate.
As a born and raised Marylander who now lives in Texas, it warmed my lil watershed heart to see the reaction to our crab cake. Blue crabs are a big part of MD culture and its great to see it shine here 😁
Honorable mention to Old Bay
Fried soft-shelled blue crabs eaten whole while in their most vulnerable state is one of the tastiest things you can eat.
Hey I am really hope to make a big change in my life and start to feel blessed and I'm striving everyday to achieve my life goals and youtube
I so agree with this. I was almost brought to tears to see us make the top 5 😭
I was so happy to see NM get an A. I think green chile and beef go really well together. ❤
I might go and get a Lotta tomorrow after watching this.
I'm from MN and we literally have hatch chile month at our local stores celebrating NM 😂. That month, it's literally all I want to eat. Hatch burgers, hatch brats, hatch soup, idgaf.
I think there’s a huge difference from making it yourself to having the locals make it
As someone from Maine, I would like to add that we usually toast the rolls until golden brown and then coat them in butter for flavor and crispiness
I work at a restaurant that is built around lobster rolls. Untoasted buns are 🤢.
@@Cody-C300 I totally agree with you
As a Marylander I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen “Maryland Style” crab cakes in other states and have been like “Nope. No. Uh Uh.” Our crab cakes are basically just lump crab, old bay and as little binder as humanly possible. Glad you guys loved them!
I wish to experience the real deal as a fan of crab cakes living on the opposite side of the country.
I feel the same way as someone from Louisiana any time I see anywhere else in the country try and recreate our dishes they’re terrible looking
As a Delawarean, I completely agree. If it isn't just 99% lump crab, old bay, and 1% binder, it isn't a crab cake!
Fr dude I’ve seen so many end up looking like there’s not even crab in there just straight up looks like a very poor made white/red vegan burger or something 😭. Like dude stop adding 50 different things to it, that’s not how yall make those 😭 ain’t Maryland style at all 😭
I guess I will need to try one someday because I've never had a crab cake I like. Crab legs are S+, but never liked the body meat.
I found this video highly entertaining. Loved seeing all the different foods from each state. I'm from Louisiana, so I loved that gumbo made S tier. Best gumbo I've had uses crawfish, shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. But I have to ask... How did a chocolate covered biscuit make it to the top!?!? Was it truly that good???
I really enjoyed this video and laughed a lot. Nice additions with those two other dudes!
Can we talk about how long this must have taken to film. Would love to see a behind the scenes video of the whole process.
also number one on trending is CRAZY
Don't worry, he made up that time by putting as little effort as possible into signing those books
I was just thinking the same thing! The amount of effort, time, energy and hard work that went into this video! Josh you are the king 🫅🏼
Was thinking how cold all the food must be lol!
Hey I am really hope to make a big change in my life and start to feel blessed and I'm striving everyday to achieve my life goals and youtube
as someone from CT, i legit shed a tear at the fact that you did a CT-style lobster roll for maine (ME dresses theirs in mayo chilled, it's great too!) and the fact that NH-style pizza is legit only something you can get good in new haven. other counties in CT can't even get that type of pizza right.
I was thinking the same thing! Missing the well seasoned pizza oven that only gets better with time! Lived in CT my whole life, I just moved out west to CO and I miss PIZZA!!!!
the new haven pizza should have had clams on it!
There are, literally, only like 3 pizza places that can get abeetz right. Whatever they cooked up for the video wasn't even pizza, let alone abeetz.
Fax all they did was cook normal pizza and called it New Haven style
Dude really thinks NY has better pizza then New Haven 🤣🤣🤣
That "GET BETTER FOOD" had me dying, love you guys gonna buy the cookbook soon
Grew up in Maryland and I will forever go for the crab cakes there. The best!!! I was also raised up ok eating scrapple and steakums when I lived in VA. Required taste but I still love eating them
I’m just impressed at the amount of cooking and eating this required. I kind of hope it was spread out over like a week.
Totally, I started feeling vicariously full and miserable haha.
nahh it was just one day, i was there
Nope. Video was 33 minutes long so cooking was 33 minutes long.
Is no one else floored by the fact that Arkansas made it to S tier!?!?! With CHOCOLATE COVERED BISCUITS?!?!?!
And over Texas brisket???
You just gotta try that chocolate gravy in the morning over a hot baked biscuit! It's surprisingly so good!
@@annc6150 It's a buttery flakey dough covered in rich chocolate sauce. How could it not be good? I've never even had it and it makes me salivate
Love chocolate gravy
I love it soo much, and I’m from Georgia, probably cause I have family there and I fell in love, I just love it with bacon
Optional extra I recommend for the musubi, put a little furikake mix into the rice. Gives you a little more flavor punch and makes every bit of it tasty AF, regardless of how (im)perfectly you proportion the musubi.
Tampa style cuban is my favorite. They added genoa salami and i feel like it does so much for it. I live in tampa and have had so many. When theres no salami its just good, not great.
Id love a dessert for every state. Not sure if thats been done. Willing to bet key lime pie will be Floridas pick
A well made crab cake is unreal. And when it’s fresh crab from the bay? Incomparable.
Doubt they even used blue crabs
Especially if you put a but of mustard on top.
Burritos are better
@@arrayypofficial get lost
The Cuban Sandwich was a popular lunch among Cuban construction workers in Florida. It became really popular with the locals and the rest is history.
A good Cuban Sammie is one of my faves. The Gobbler is my top. Good crunchy bread like a baguette, turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, and gravy.
Any sandwich shop I go to I always get a Cuban first to decide if I come back another time
It was invented in Tampa fl
They really didn't have the right Cuban bread
@@reginaldleggon4040 They didn't do the most basic of research about the Cuban's history or makeup lol
I love how many of the high scored ones are very British types of food, like the pastie and the chowder etc
Except the American ones use all the flavorings and spices that the British conquered the world for and promptly forgot about.
My all time fav from ohio is mushroom swiss onion burger heres how to make it:
Half pound ground beef (medium well)
Seasoned salt, garlic seasoning
Sauteed white mushroom and onion
Swiss cheese
Whichever sauce (i prefer mayo)
White bun(2) to
As a Marylander, who is already so proud of our flag and food, I started tearing up when I saw the beautiful Maryland Crabcake make it to the S tier.
Exactlyyyy
Truly. It was either that or a pit beef sandwich and I wasn’t disappointed.
@@TripleBarbacoa I do love me some Chaps, but i mean, c'mon. We''re known for crabcakes, lol.
No joke, it's so easy to mess it up if you don't know the tricks! Shows his cooking skills too!
Yall just need more crab meat in your crab cakes! It would go from S to S+. Less filler and fresh crab is the key!
And my experience is limited to ordering crab cakes at about 5-7 places in Maryland, so it's not like I live there.
Fun fact - the style of lobster roll you ate was actually a CT style roll. Maine style is the cold-mayo one.
I made rolls for a living for a while. Seeing what they did to it hurt me deeply.
Yeah they butchered CT. Soak that lobster in butter and throw in on a split top bun.
New Haven pizza is hard to replicate, those old ovens make a difference.
Thank you! I’m glad someone said it. I personally think New Haven pizza was average. Living in ct most of my life. The lobster roll should of been ours.
I lived in Maine and I prefer the cold mayo style. One of the restaurants I worked at used a tarragon citrus aioli and it was the BEST.
should have*@@jayc6743
New Haven: "Just go to new York"
New York: "my least favourite pizza"
Now I want you to make posts for every state asking where the best place to get their top dish is. And then plan a road trip. Make it a 10-part video series, with five states per video
As an Alaskan, I am so incredibly proud to see Smoked Salmon dip was our dish of choice and that we made S tier.
Same, literally reminded me of my childhood and family gatherings.
finally alaska getting its flowers lol and to be fair smoked salmon dip really is s tier
Me to I grew up eating it and making my own
yes although personally I think smoked salmon dip should be primarily smoked salmon and taste like smoked salmon, not pure cream cheese
Absolutely stoked to see salmon dip as the dish. And the amazing thing is you can totally add in whatever you’d like to make it your own. Though all the ones I’ve tried has always followed relatively the same recipe shown here, my family have their own alternations, maybe some diced jalapeños , smoked salmon, some fresh yellow peppers can be a fun addition as well!
I live in Seattle and I was racking my brain for what food I would pick for Washington State. I didn't even think of cedar plank salmon but as soon as you showed it I was like, "oh yeah, thats exactly what food would represent Washington." I literally have a pack of cedar planks in my cupboards right now.
Maybe wild salmon or geoduck.
it's almost like someone asked. Almost.
I guessed cedar plank steelhead w apple chutney. or an apple pie
lol i'm in olympia and had the same thought
as someone that visited: ya‘ll also really like fresh oysters
As someone from the PNW (live in Washington but on the line for Oregon!)
Your Washington rating was great....
Although for the Oregon Marion berry, unless you had fresh berry overnighted and cooked, it just right. It won't turn out. There is also a right season for them, just like all fruit and vegetables. I love them in a shake myself more than a pie. Also topped over french toast or waffles (and I don't like waffles).
Please give them another try while in our state.
P.s. yes, Oregon State University (The Oregon Beavers football team) created them in 1956.
That was the most basic musubi and still made the A tier!! I love it!!
As someone who was born and raised in Idaho I am severely disappointed that it was not a potato based dish.
Ditto for the Pittsburgh half of PA... FYI a sandwich with pizza crust bread is called a Wedgie and all the Pennsylvanians that forget Philly even exists until hockey season comes around want our voices heard lol
And also go Sheetz and screw whatever a wa-wa is!
dude, i was born and raised here and to say the least i am pissed off that it wasn't one of our better dishes, like who tf is going to enjoy a well done steak finger.
most of these selections are pretty absurd - theyre just looking for people to comment
For real perogies woulda been better at that point.
My jaw hurts after laughing so much when they got to Arkansas and got their opinions on Biscuits with Chocolate gravy flipped on their heads
Bro we don't even eat that in most parts of the state. 32 years, aka my entire life here. I've yet to see a soul eat this dish. Sure I know what it is, but that is BY AND LARGE not our state dish.
@@theUBERsashimi born and raised in NWA and I grew up on chocolate gravy!! Definitely a family/location thing lol, but the S tier was so deserved. You should try it!
@@liketotallygeorgiaI’m In NWA and need to try this 😂
As a Mississippian, I'm curious to know how you breaded the catfish. The dark color suggests you put it in an egg wash while breading, which is not necessarily a common method. Also, you cut it on a vertical plane. We usually cut it horizontal. Cutting it vertical makes it look like catfish nuggets, which has a layer of fat on the bottom. A lot of people here will complain if you cut it that way.
Californian here. Thank you for reminding people to always toast the burrito after you assemble. It just makes it SO much better.
As a native born Oklahoman, it made me very happy to see how far up the board the fried onion burger made it. If you’re ever passing through central Oklahoma make sure to stop at either Sid’s Diner or Roberts!
Or Eskimo Joe's fs
@@SlikRikx I went to school at OSU!! We had plenty of meals there!!
Yes exactly! I was so proud to see us hit that #1 rank!! We know our food well here, that burger is a tip of the iceberg, here's hoping they visit and try some more local fare!
@@zachwarner6711 I did as well, always gotta go with the elm street cheese fries
Nic's @ 12th & Penn in OKC, Bunny's at 50th and Meridian and Okie Tonk Cafe on 19th street west of I-35 in Moore are also great, but you can't beat Sid's.
As an Arkansas native, yes the biscuits and chocolate gravy is the most accomplished thing that we have done this year 😂😂😂
Hey I am really hope to make a big change in my life and start to feel blessed and I'm striving everyday to achieve my life goals and youtube
I've never had cheese curds but I've heard they're great. Thanks for sharing, I should try something like this for my channel.
The song from Colorado my entire life. I've never even heard of that stew.
That being said the only food I know from Colorado is Rocky mountain oysters so glad you chose the one you did
As someone from Louisiana, it is nice to see us on the top of a list that is something positive for once. 😁
At least we have good food going for us! 😂 I think we tend to be one of the more happy states as well, probably because of the food.
I live in Mississippi, and was thinking the same doggone thing! Thank God for catfish, right?
Well if they didn’t like our food, they would need to be committed.
But why didn’t he put more rice?
@@davidmandelstamm8725😂 watched just to see what we were gonna get destroyed for this time. Catfish saves the day
As someone from Maryland nothing made me happier than seeing the crab cake get an immediate S tier.
I travel to Baltimore several times a year and have to get crab cakes at least once sometimes more every time I go. That's an S tier for me as well.
Saved me trouble. My sentiment exactly lol born, raised, and still here.
Right?!! 🥹
Agreed
I live on Maryland's Eastern Shore so ... That said, I've had some poor excuses for crab cakes in places that you would think they'd be great. The best I've had are frequently found in places where the expectations weren't that high. But in any case, in my mind, you can't eat one without a slice of fully ripe tomato and an ice cold beer.
Moved to the mid west for college, teammate introduced me to cheese curds, and now their my favorite food
Thanks for the video
Salmon dip looks lit 🔥
As a native Utahn, I was NOT surprised that they were represented with funeral potatoes. I've also had so many different kinds of the stuff that I'd rank anywhere from B to Never enrolled in school.
Better funeral potatoes than jello salad!
Oh my goodness that was my first thought🤣
We all know the first 5 people to get the potatoes are lucky. If you get it after that, you got soggy corn flakes
@@TheDanielGuy23jello salad is way better than funeral potatoes
Funeral potatoes are awesome but you have to get someone who knows how to make it because a lot of people think they know how make them and yes they are served at funerals
From Arkansas, I cannot tell you how many times I've been looked at like a mad man for Biscuits and chocolate gravy. Finally, we get some validation in how amazing it is. Though, I will correct something that doesn't make us look good. It's not dessert....it's breakfast lol
as an arkansan, i validate this statement
As an Arkansas resident I disagree that's just diabetes on a biscuit
if I have that shit for breakfast my pancreas just disappears
If you ever go to jasper go the Izard cafe and get their chocolate gravy biscuits they are so good!
I'm from Oklahoma and love biscuits and chocolate gravy. My family also has a cabin in Batesville that I go to when u need ti get away from civilization and there's a Cafe I get breakfast at every morning when I'm there and I always get the chocolate gravy if it's the weekend.
*been in Colorado my whole life just started this video* “I bet it’s gonna be green chile for Colorado” I damn near screamed when I saw that beautiful bowl and the ranking 😂😂🤤
Marion berry was my favorite pie growing up! 😭😭 the one you had looked nothing like the ones my mom made when i was little. I think you just got a bad pie!!!
As an Oregonian, I agree with you.
I think a lot of their "bad" foods came down to awful preparation or sourcing
I've never had scrapple from a local PA restaurant that was less than amazing
My Papaw was born and raised in Arkansas and his favorite breakfast was chocolate gravy and biscuits. It was a staple on our sunday mornings. Guy was born in 1940 and that was his childhood delicacy so damned if he didn't request it every sunday when he grew up. RIP Papaw, 2012
Curious why Arkansas claims it. it's all over the appalachian region southern states. Was a weekend breakfast my Grandma made in North Carolina.
@@your.opinion.sucks. because we have literally nothing else but a college football team people devote their lives to despite it usually being shit
I was born and raised, and still live in arkansas, chocolate gravy and biscuits is what's up
Isn’t it basically just warm cake???
@@dustintacohands1107 I wouldn't call biscuits cake, and chocolate gravy has a certain texture to it
As a Georgian, I'm both honored to be in the S tier...and also kind of amazed that you were able to narrow it down to a single dish. Georgia is basically where all of Southern food culture eventually meets up.
I fully expected for them to pull out a bag from waho and say “all star special won”
I'm not shocked. We have a lot if Southern food in GA, but Lemon Pepper Wet Wings are distinctly Atlanta. The only other dish I could see representing the state is Peach Cobbler.
Peach cobbler or maybe chicken and waffles.
@@jarrickhillery8664the fact you didnt say pecan pie is insanity
@@bloody_tungsten1382 that’s Southern, not GA-specific. Basically the whole Deep South has nearly equal claim over Pecan Pie.
I’m a 4th generation Idahoan and I’ve never even heard of fried steak fingers! I asked my mom and grandma too and they’ve never heard of it. But when I looked it up, it does seem to be pretty popular. When I think of an Idaho food, the first thing that pops in my head is French fries with fry sauce!
I LOVE YOU, MAN! finally i can prove what i mean when i say "i love the taste of mushrooms. i just hate the texture of them."
As a local from Hawaii, spam musubi was a good choice, but I think if any dish would represent my state, it would have been the classic "Loco moco," which they probably would have given an S or A tier
For people who don't know, a traditional "Loco moco" is a dish served with rice, eggs & hamburger patties on top, and then the dish is covered in brown gravy. It's delicious 👌
ill have to look this up, as someone who knows 3 Hawaiians, its all about spam musubi which me as a midwestern really appreciates spam now for what it can truly become! either way, love it!
Sooo good🤤🤤
Loco moco was amazing when I had it. Poke is also a good choice
I would give it A tier I think the manapua man noodles, pork hash and chicken deserves sum attention. Very underrated
@@jacobmoux5235Spicy Ahi and Kim Chee Fried Rice Spam Musubi are S Tier no cap.
The lobster roll for Maine was made Connecticut style. A Maine Lobster roll uses Mayo.
Ok, so I'm not going crazy.
This video made me unsubscribe. It just showed that this channel does no research and is just about pumping out content.
@@davidevans6103 my buddy and I talked a lot about this video recently. Long or short it starts off with the topic of "what is a good representation of the state and taste good".
By 1/3 of the way in it digresses to "how well can I cook the item that was voted on". Half the stuff that is voted highly is fried or barbecue; if you look at Jersey or Virginia he didn't even use the correct ingredients (Jersey is still trash but it deserves to earn that D on its own).
Did you see New Hampshire?! It was some grocery store, stale looking donuts and they moved on. Like tf?
Nott good, that lobster roll ain't right bub
CT style better
I knew a guy who had a Cornish Pastie cart and it was so good. Used brown rice as binder
Delaware hear,
“scrapple is the best breakfast meat ever” - sayed after the 2 time trying
As a native New Mexican, that canned green chile is weak, but as someone who's also lived in Oklahoma for 18 years, nothing slaps as hard as an onion smashburger. This gave me the idea to try green chile and onion smashburgers next time I make them. God-tier right there
I agree, if Hatch green chilies weren't used, then it should not be called NM green chili cheeseburger. And for me the use of mayo on a NM green chili cheeseburger is an abomination, use yellow mustard only(like Blake's lotaburger style).
@@jun.oshimaI literally said that.. who said mayo??? It's mustard only if you're being original. But how we didn't vote for green Chile chicken enchiladas is beyond me. And how Arizona didn't use the Navajo taco.. again baffled
Ohh but he used hatch chile in Colorados chile stew
I'm more offended cause Colorado wouldn't have gotten A if they minded their own business and didn't use new mexico hatch chile
If it didn't come from a 50 gunny sack, miss me with it. Bonus if it was roasted in a parking lot
As an Alaskan, I was wondering what you would choose. The smoked salmon spread was on point. I did not even realize how staple it is to all of us until you chose it. Everyone has their own family recipe. Yours reminds me of my dad's. Thank you for choosing so well and appreciating it.
I lived on the Island of Adak and was spoiled by the amazing fish… I am now forcing myself to eat more fish!
@@mdtaylor67 me too! That is where I grew up all my teenaged years.
I thought they were missing some capers in there
You guys gotta try the Garbage plate from Northwestern New York!
2:55 my face exactly when you said that 😂😭
You need to eat these foods in each state, cooked by someone other than yourself. Most of them would hit different, I guarantee.
right! the bias of him preparing them doesn't really make it a legit competition, even though its fun
@@GlowstoneWolfwouldn't it make it unbiased? Because he's preparing everything it makes it a controlled experiment.
Plus they picked some garbage for some of the states. Like New Jersey, that state is home a gillion Italian people, wtf, a spam sandwich. Not too sure about where they get their votes from.
Skyline chili is still trash. Salt and butter on spaghetti thrashes it
right!! i just know he did mississippi dirty with that fish
As an Alaskan, I appreciate the salmon love. We often get associated with hush puppies and baked alaska up here, but salmon is ubiquitous here.
Other Alaskan, I’d have rather seen some crab.
I haven't watched the video yet and your comment caught my eye, but really? Salmon? I mean I don't know what else to expect, but I'm sure there's other more popular dishes than fish that's almost native to Alaska.
OMG I was just about to say this
@@brianlervold318 I could see that, but if its Alaskan crab being showcased it would be king crab. Not everyone eats king crab due to price, but EVERYONE eats salmon because silvers (atleast in anchorage) can just be caught in ship's creek and frozen until the next salmon run
The most Northern state claiming southern hush puppies? Lol stop..
BISCUIT AND CHOCOLATE GRAVY IS GOATED, THANK YOU FOR REALIZING IT
I don't know you guys and was nervous about Louisiana. Beautiful gumbo - thanks for showing us some love. It's easy to get wrong for some people.
I just appreciate the sheer effort put into making this vid. Cooking 50 dishes is going above and beyond
Cooking, yes, but eating 50 dishes may be even worse!
Welp as a Utahn that was fast lOLL
A Mainer here, you tried a connecticut roll. A Maine lobster roll is served with the lobster meat chilled and dressed in mayo with some crunchy greens like chives, celery, and/or scallions. A Connecticut lobster roll is served warm, dunked in butter, on a toasted bun.
This so true. CT and RI rolls r way different than a Maine. Not mention the New Haven CT pizza was made in some electronic oven😂 not even close to what it should be. Disgrace
100% and then they go and make a shitty New Haven Pizza. CT got screwed big time
@@OVSKnicksswear I’m triggered right now. couldn’t even be bothered to do their research obviously. And used a $50 electric oven probably from friggin Ikea. Not coal fired not 800 degrees . They just lost all their credibility for food will be unsubscribing now
Just came here to tell them they didn't have a Maine lobstah roll, what they had was a Connecticut roll. Totally different lobstah rolls.
And either way they cost way too much and taste way too little. Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada, where we produce some of the most prized lobster in the world. Which tastes like almost nothing. Like all lobster. But we pay, like, 10CAD/lb max. I regularly see it for 40USD/lb in Maine, etc.
Side story - When my grandfather was growing up in Newfoundland his family has to bury their lobster shells in the back yard, because if anyone saw the shells in their trash, they'd be denigrated as the poorest of the poor. Similarly: there are still laws on the books in the US that give a strict limit for how many lobster meals you're allowed to feed a prisoner each week.
Lesson: lobster is only fancy because you've been taught it is by marketers who have only existed since canning+railways.
I love the critiques boil down to it's not complicated enough lol
Colorado green Chile is good for smothering just about anything with ( burritos, Chile rellenos, a hamburger, pork chops, chicken etc)
I think a fun idea for a follow-up video would be to reinvent the F-tier foods to try and make them S-tier
Edit: As a Michigan native, I'm happy to see you all enjoy the pasty!
Edit #2: Wow wow, I did not expect this many upvotes! Y'all are amazing!
From Michigan as well, and I have NEVER heard of a pasty until this episode! I hope im not the only one...
Looks very similar to a Cornish pastie which I guess is it's inspiration
@@gabrieljcz right there with you. never had a pasty. a UP thing?
@@PlagueDocDom Im from detroit, I was so shocked I didnt see like a Gyro, Coney Dog/Fries, or Detroit Pizza
@@gabrieljcz coney dogs are absolutely michigan. I would love to see that
As an Oklahoman, I am BAFFLED that we won overall. I will say that a fried onion smash patty is damn good, especially with the right sauces. Tucker's Onion Burgers is a thing we have here, and this is their signature trademark, they're pretty good too!
Same here as well. Getting the over all win was awesome and a nice surprise. Love tuckers as well!
Sid's in El Reno or J&W in Chickasha make an OG onion burger. Tucker's is good, but those two are amazing.
I'm from Oklahoma, and I've never been to any of these restaurants. Looks like I need to go on a road trip and try them
A few years back i had a burger that might have been an an onion burger literally at a comic store called DZ Comics in Moore. I swear that thing was the best burger i ever had
yayyyyyyy spoilers tysmmmmm
These guys are always welcome in Maryland. Wish they would of tried a crab fluff. It's a ball of crab meat seasoned with old bay in batter and dropped straight in the fryer.
As a Texan our state food is Chili we have a yearly cook off and we love whataburger.
As an Arkansan, I’m honored to have chocolate biscuits and gravy reach an S tier. I can say, I don’t even like biscuits but I will eat my grandmas homemade chocolate gravy with some 🤣
I'm so happy we got an s tier
It getting s tier got me kicking my feet and shi
I grew up eating chocolate and biscuits and I've literally never met another person outside of my gran's family who has even heard of it. Glad to know there are other cultured people out there.
Let go Arkansas!!!❤
Chocolate gravy is so good so I was cheering when it got an S tier, WELL DESERVES S TIER
I've lived in Alaska my entire life and one of the very first things my grandma taught me to make was salmon spread I'm so happy you all loved it
Alaska is the best state! Alaskan born and raised
907 Gang!!! 🤘🥶
My moms side of the family has lived in Alaska for a long time. Anytime we visit the salmon spread is a gamechanger!
@@johnanthonymotherfckingfru8085 907 GANG BABY!!!
Tater tot hotdish is amazing especially during the winter and fall months. I don’t eat much during spring and summer.
Well it looks like Oklahoma has two things that are awesome and so under appreciated until you leave for another state.
#1- so many onion burger masters
#2- complimentary queso, salsa, corn/flour tortillas , chips and relish at 99% of the Mexican restaurants.
That’s 🔥
As an Oregonian I gotta say the only thing with the marionberry pie is you were missing a key component, Tillamook icecream
🔥it's the best!
an essential part of the experience
Tillamook was good. But no longer!
@@Dogloki I could see that too, I just have to be inherently biased towards Marionberry anything.
It's the weed, beer and wine that makes the food taste amazing. Try eating some marionberry pie with vanilla ice cream after smoking a joint.
As a born and raised New Hampshirite, Apple Cider Donuts slap when you're walking outside during a festival and you eat them hot. The crispy edge, the aroma of apples fills the air, and then sugar and cinnamon falling everywhere. This is a food item meant in making memories.
Connecticut also has incredible apple cider donuts, honestly the whole east coast does fall food incredibly well!
His apple cider donut was an embarrassment to apple cider donuts. When he pulled off part of it like it was stale or store-bought? Absolutely disgusting. They should be crisp but moist and eaten within 5 minutes of being made. This is the way of the shire.
Agreed, except Illinoisan here and we have local apple farms that you can go to during the fall and get them fresh. They're so god damn good fresh.
...best eaten out of a greasy paper bag
As an Arkansan, I can confirm that my school would have its cafeteria PACKED on Friday because of that chocolate gravy. Even with the crappy whole wheat biscuits they gave us, it always SMACKED
I'm from MD and was going to be SHOCKED if the crab cake wasn't what we picked lol wasn't going to be shocked if y'all didn't love it. Depends when crabs are in season on how good the cakes are.
