These are not official state foods. They are what the source website has decided to appoint as the favorite food for each.

This is a list of official state foods:

They also swapped the labels on Nebraska and Kansas on the map. And someone should tell them to repick Rhode Island, drinks don't count.

Are you sure "handheld meat pies" is not what people from Nebraska call ribs?

Not only should beverages not count but the official drink of Rhode Island is coffee milk.

It's hilarious that the country thinks Chicago is obsessed with deep dish. Ask any Chicagoan their opinion and they'll probably say "it's all right" or "good for a slice once in awhile"

Chicago had a fantastic restaurant scene and very few even make deep dish pizza

Ooh, let me see what the state food is where I live! Let's see, Colorado...

It’s true though and freaking excellent.

The lack of anything listed? I was talking about the link above with official state foods, not the OP. Love green chili as an (but who calls it chili verde?)

Having lived here for over a decade, and 2 states prior, I think the breakfast burrito deserves some recognition as an official food though. With green chili, of course.

Oh, I didn’t even click through to read that, lol. No one calls it chili verde, you’re right. Breakfast burritos with green chili sauce … yeah. That’s a contender too. I’ve lived in CO for almost 20 years.

Nebraska and Kansas are switched

That it's a totally fair choice makes it all the better. Vegas-style buffets are a production that really caught on globally (thanks to that marketing) and really are a distinct style. But like, theres fuckall other options for them, nevada is a fucking cultural wasteland (if you ignore those tens of thousands of years of indigenous culture, but who cares about THAT...)

cultural wasteland

According to this, Nevada only had 110k people statewide in 1940.

In 1940, New York City had 7.5 million.

Gotta have people to produce cultural output.

I’d say this is the most accurate food map yet with the obvious Kansas/Nebraska mix up. Food checks for all the aces I’ve lived/visited, with the exception of Wisconsin, which I’d argue they’re more known for their cheese curds.

don't let Memphis speak for all of Tennessee
