106-9 Kicks Country #1 For New Country
For a country that gets criticized for having generic fast food restaurants on every corner, we all sure do have different and fascinating tastes.
The social media site Foursquare just analyzed its data to see what people in every state eat or drink way more than people anywhere else. Here are some of the highlights of their study of the most uniquely popular foods around the country.
Some states stuck to their stereotypes and signature foods perfectly. Maine has lobster . . . Vermont has maple syrup . . . Missouri has toasted ravioli . . . Louisiana has crawfish . . . Minnesota has the Juicy Lucy burger . . . and Hawaii has poke.
The South really divided up the classic “Southern foods.” There’s banana pudding in Tennessee . . . catfish in Arkansas . . . po boys in Mississippi . . . fried green tomatoes in Alabama . . . grits in South Carolina . . . and hushpuppies in North Carolina.
The state that will probably be most upset about its result is Pennsylvania, which got “chicken cheesesteaks” . . . not regular cheesesteaks, which are probably too popular elsewhere. But chicken cheesesteaks? Ouch.
And finally, the funniest result is definitely Nevada’s. Their most popular food is . . . bottle service. I guess the best thing to eat there is a $400 bottle of vodka at a nightclub.
