Okay Statesiders, time to pass judgements and start fights.
Alabama: Lane Cake Alaska: King Crab Arizona: Cheese Crisp (WHAT. No. Sonoran Hot Dog!) Arkansas: Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy California: Mission-style Burrito (this is highly regional, I think it should be some specific forms of sushi, but I’ll let it slide) Colorado: Rocky Mountain Oysters Connecticut: White Clam Pizza Delaware: Blue Crab Florida: Cuban Sandwich Georgia: Peach Cobbler (come on Georgia you must have something less peach-based) Hawaii: Shave Ice (OH MY GOD what a snub to Spam Musubi, how dare you) Idaho: Finger Steaks Illinois: Italian Beef (AGREE) Indiana: Sugar Cream (aka Hoosier) Pie Iowa: Loose Meat Sandwich (I admit I am dying to try one of these) Kansas: Fried Chicken (I…how could you not say some form of barbecue?) Kentucky: Hot Brown Louisiana: Beignets (…not crawfish? Really?) Maine: Lobster Maryland: Blue Crab (uh, Maryland and Delaware gonna FITE) Massachusetts: Clam Chowder (I want to argue but I refuse to say Baked Beans) Michigan: Coney-Style Hot Dog (Detroit-style pizza is the correct answer) Minnesota: Hot Dish (you’ll regret it, but yes) Mississippi: Gulf Seafood (come on now, you can get a little more specific) Missouri: Gooey Butter Cake Montana: Pork Chop sandwich Nebraska: Runza (this looks amazing) Nevada: Prime Rib New Hampshire: Lobster Corn Chowder New Jersey: Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese New Mexico: Green Chile Stew New York: Pizza Slice (yeah ok sometimes you gotta play to the stereotype) North Carolina: Barbecue Pork North Dakota: Knoephla Soup Ohio: Buckeyes (you don’t HAVE to play to the stereotype, guys) Oklahoma: Fried Onion Burger Oregon: Marionberry Pie (Marionberry ANYTHING they are the BEST BERRY) Pennsylvania: Roast Pork Sandwich (I say no. I say either water ice, pepperoni roll, or anything ordered from a computer screen at Sheetz.) Rhode Island: New York System Weiner (THE CORRECT ANSWER IS A QUAHOG STUFFIE HAVE YOU NO GODS. Sci don’t even START ON ME about pizza strips) South Carolina: Frogmore Stew South Dakota: Fry Bread Tennessee: Nashville Hot Chicken Texas: Brisket (NO. KOLACHES. Texas Brisket is average at best. If you must have meat in Texas get smoked turkey from Rudy’s.) Utah: Utah Scones (these look amazing) Vermont: Sugar on Snow (have also long wanted to try this) Virginia: Country Ham Biscuits Washington: Dungeoness Crab (y so much crab, Chicago Tribune) Washington DC: Half Smoke West Virginia: Pepperoni Roll (maybe Pennsylvania can let WV have this) Wisconsin: Fried Cheese Curds (Wisconsin has so much to recommend it but realistically…yeah, it’s the curds.) Wyoming: Chicken-fried Steak (I feel like they must have given this to WY as a consolation prize becaus they couldn’t think of anything else. Wyomingites, weigh in, all 3 of you.)
Thumbs up PA! I would order my whole life from a Sheetz computer screen if I could :D. Although I might suggest a whoopie pie as a thing to try. You can coincidentally get them at sheetz LOL but best when they come from an Amish stall at a farmer’s market.
