All other 49 states: Has their “iconic” dish Nevada: Buffet

Alabama's signature dish is smoked chicken with white sauce: "The chicken is smoked for hours and served with white sauce". Who could've guessed, so insightful.

Having been born and raised in California, I do love that you all just went with 'Avocado'. Not even a specific dish, just avocado. Excellent.

As a Texan, I can say that BBQ is **really** popular. But, I don’t care if it originated in Texas or not, Texans absolutely cannot get enough of their pecan pie. It’s sweet, full of cinnamon, and of course, pecans. It’s absolutely amazing and I’m really disappointed that they didn’t add it because it’s literally our state dessert.

NO ONE from Colorado eats Rocky Mountain oysters 😂😂 it’s something we make tourist eat for our own amusement 🤣🤣

Me: what kind of oysters is that? She: bull testicles. Nevermind..

Coffee may be the most common thing in Washington, but we also have a massive amount of apple themed foods in the eastern parts of the state, especially caramel apples around my town.

I can confirm, we love crab cakes. I didn't even realize how good we had it until I ordered it elsewhere and realized other states can't cook it at all. Most accurate list I've seen yet.

All other states: ribs, potatoes, sandwiches etc. Utah: Jello

"So what's your favorite food?" Nevada: Yes

I'm from MD and can confirm our love of blue crabs, albeit most people I know would rather get a dozen steamed crabs and pick it themselves than get a crabcake just because picking crabs on the bay is a fun nostalgic activity. I suppose crab cakes are usually preferred by tourists/people who want to stay clean/'civilized' meals haha. Seriously though, if you come to MD in the summer, go to Cantlers or Mike's crab house near the bay bridge, you wont be dissapointed

Our family moved to WA State from MN back in 1977 after nearly 10 years of living there. I was only 2 years old. But, grew up on tater tot casserole. I was told it was one of the many recipes my mom took with her from MN. And, so it explains it as a MN favorite food.

"Rocky Mountain Oysters" Me: - ͜ - "They are not oysters. They are deep-fried bull testicles" Me: 0_0

I'm from Tennessee and frankly I'm quite disappointed y'all put Memphis Ribs over Nashville Hot Chicken. It's literally our staple food at this point considering how big Hot Chicken has gotten.

This is probably my favorite list style video on all of KZfaq. I loved it.

As a Massachusetts native, I gotta say the clam chowder one is legit. There are often a lot of places that make kind of bad chowder though. The best places for good clam chowder are Rockport and Martha's Vineyard.

All other 49 states: Has their “iconic” dish Washington: coffee i-​

All other 49 states: Has their “iconic” dish Colorado: Deep Fried Bull Testicles

Some of these iconic dishes have spread beyond the borders of their states to capture tastebuds around the nation -- some that immediate come to mind are gumbo, philly cheesesteaks, and Chicago Deep Dish and New York Style pizza.

As a West Virginian, I can confirm that pepperoni rolls are definitely what I was hoping to see 😂😂

Me who lives in colorado: Sooo is it our trout, palisade peaches, or maybe bison? Food Insider: *Nope. Bull testicles*

The delaware one is spot on, I didn't have round drop dumplings in my soup until I had chicken and dumplings at a friend's house who was from another state. Honestly Slippery dumplings just make it so much better.

I and my friend went to Corolado and we tried the Rocky Mountain Oysters. We kept saying it didn’t taste like oyster. I remembered reading somewhere that they chopped the oysters into pieces and maybe that was why the taste changed (now I think my memories just tricked me). We thought it tasted like chicken gizzards… I’m totally sending this video to my friend now. I wish I could be there to see her reaction 😂💀

I’m Canadian, idk why I’m here.

0:40 "Arkansas takes their cheese dip very seriously" *Proceeds to show someone mixing velveeta and tomatoes.*

I wish that i will be able to go to the U.S. one day and try all of these foods.

As a born and raised Native Hawaiian, I’m a sucker for raw fish poke and can barely eat it pan seared but battered and fried I’m all for. Plus, the poke bowls in Cali aren’t poke bowls, they’re salads with poke in it. A poke bowl is poke and rice-that’s all you need

Timestamps!

I'm from California and I'm disappointed that y'all chose AVOCADO ON TOAST- LIKE BRUHHH

Happy to see peach cobbler on here, also I really want to try the low country boil since my husband and I moved here from Georgia

Born and raised in SC. Never had a low country boil. I thought it'd be shrimp and grits. It doesn't look bad, but probably something you'd find more on the coast (specifically Charleston) than inner state. And I've noticed NC is more known for their vinegar based sauce🤢 than their tomato based (used to work for a BBQ restaurant, so that's just my experience from out-of-towners).

Washington: “We don’t need food, we derive our sustenance from COFFEE.”

I saw a few comments mention that New Jersey should’ve had the sub or deli sandwiches. As a lifelong resident, I completely agree. Local deli and sandwich joints are everywhere. Jersey Mikes, QuickChek, Sam’s Deli etc. One thing I do appreciate about NJ food is, if you’re up in North East Jersey, you can get Pizza pretty much on par with NY in a lot of spots. If you go down to more Southern Jersey, you can get a Cheesesteak (almost) as good as some spots in Philly. Due to a lot of people from those bigger cities migrating over. We have great bagels, too!

As a person born and raised in maryland I 100% agree with the lady when she said we were obsessed with crabs and to not forget the old bay pretty much everything my family would eat, we put old bay on and we always had crabs around

SO YOURE TELLING ME FRIED CHICKEN IS NOT KENTUCKYS FAVORITE,ITS LIKE SAYING KANYE DOESNT HAVE A BIG EGO

90% of the avocados produced in the US may be from Cali but most over our avocados here in Cali come from Mexico lol

Oklahoman here and y’all nailed it with the chicken fried steak! I work at a restaurant called del Rancho it’s know for its chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken

I love your videos ❤ and I really enjoyed its.

Other 49 states: diabetes on a plate California: aVoCaDo

no one gonna talk about how nevada's iconic "foods" was just entires buffets-

a huckleberry shake off the side of the highway in west montana is still the best milkshake i've ever had, was happy to see that on the list

I can confirm that Avocado is absurdly popular in California. I know I get it at the grocery store every week... However, I think it would be more apt to put down "Tacos".

POV: your skipping every 10 seconds to find your states iconic food

Oregon’s marionberry has a crazy goodass taste, it’s like if a grape had a baby with a raspberry, underrated tbh.

Was expecting North Dakota's. It's so good! Everyone should try it at least once in their life. My grandpa has the best recipe I've ever had.

Awesome video thanks 🇦🇺

I thought the Alabama one would be their family members.

American gastronomy is really something...

As a Utahn, I'm sad to see that fry sauce was not chosen. Jello is what people know about, but fry sauce is truly an iconic food here in Utah.

The Sonoran hot dog is a style of hot dog that originated in Hermosillo, the capital of the Mexican state of Sonora, in the late 1980s It consists of a hot dog that is wrapped in bacon and grilled, served on a bolillo-style hot dog bun, and topped with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, and a variety of additional condiments,

1:05 'They're not oysters, they're fried bull testicles, some say they taste like gay calamari'💀

“50 iconic foods” Washington: coffee please

3:08 I've had the Jamaican version of that spicy stew and the deep-fried ravioli seems interesting. I'll have to make that

I’m from Georgia, and boiled peanuts, Savannah pralines, or low country boil also come to mind! I now live in the Midwest and I find the strangest things to be chili with pasta in it, cheese balls, and the need to put ranch on everything.

Most iconic Idaho food: the potato LOL

Coffee isn't food but I can't argue, someone saying "coffee is gross" in Washington is asking to be glared at.

Here in Houston we have Mexican avocados imported from Michoacán. California is cute with their hipster unriped avocados.

Great video❤

Californian here. Pretty sure most Californians wouldn't agree with avocado. Each region has its own specialty, but In-n-out burgers and burritos are pretty ubiquitous and beloved across the state (could also make an argument for wine as a high-end state favorite). Yes we like avocados, but we grow all kinds of produce, including 90%+ of America's almonds, figs, olives, kiwis, dates, pistachios, walnuts, etc.

while i can appreciate everything presented here, cinnamon rolls *with* chili is a definite pass

Loved it thanks

you can go to any store in montana and i guarantee that you will see huckleberry chapstick, candles, lotion, sauce, jam, and so much more

Oof... Colorado 😳

I'm originally from Michigan and they're right about the fudge...literally every place that sells ice cream has Mackinac Island Fudge as a flavor and god do I miss it :(

South Carolina person here. Although it's not my favorite, I can understand picking Low Country boil, even though it's probably not as specific to SC as it is to the coastal southeast US. However, I do feel like grits could have been a better contender. Not shrimp and grits - as far as I'm aware, that's just a very regional specific dish that's sold in the beach town restaurants. Just plain, regular grits. That stuff is great. Sure, a lot of southern states eat grits, but it just feels more representative of the whole state than Low Country boil.

Majority of these look really healthy and delicious, especially the seafood platters

As a St.louian I can say they did us right with the toasted ravioli people here go crazy for them

We had a Maid-Rite across the street from us. Summers were spent listening to “Welcome to Maid-Rite. May I take your order, please” through the open Windows. It sure was handy on days when I didn’t feel up to cooking.

New york city has the oldest aqueduct in the USA, it is also made out of natural bricks and is packed with vitamins, there are many restraunts that make bread or have bread from New York shipped to them because their bread is near perfect.

“Paper thin” Them mfking dumplings are thiccer than me

Most iconic food in every state. Nevada: C O N S U M E E V E R Y T H I N G

as a resident from Connecticut, i can confirm the pizza from Frank Pepe’s is to die for, if you’re ever in Connecticut, i highly recommend try every slice

As a New York person myself it’s because it’s always snowing that gives that crust a fresh feel

1:17 He sliced the pizza like a psychopath

The food in this list perfectly represents the USA as a whole: some are “Yum”, while others are “Eww”.

I've been living in NJ for the past 6 years and this is the first time I'm hearing about salt water taffy being being popular here lmao I was expecting it to be pork roll/taylor ham

Looks so good!😁

*every other state interacting normally* -oh no, here comes that weirdo... Utah: DoEs AnYoNe WaNt SuM JeLlO?

Who the hell in their right mind invented the "Chilli with Cinnamon roll"? I mean HOW!!???

I can say in PA, the cheese steak is pretty popular. They served it for lunch in public school twice a month.

I really like your content

All other states: has their “iconic” dish Montana: (a whole song about huckleberries)

49 states: so here's our food Washington: okay well ours is a drink

Very nice recipe sharing

It was great, I enjoyed it

New Jersey should’ve been a Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel

Two people bump into each other while rounding a corner: “You got cinnamon roll in my chili!” “You got chili in my cinnamon roll!” Thus, the legend was born.

How were the items on this list decided? Some states get well known dishes that few people really eat, while others get local favorites that nobody knows of outside of the state. Some states the choice is so specific that you're telling us exactly what toppings to put on the hot dog, while others get a certain item prepared literally any possible way or even an entire buffet.

as a Minnesotan, I can confirm that tator tot hotdish is huge here. Every family seems to have their own recipe, and can even be found at gas stations that serve hot food

Missourian here, I'd like to acknowledge all the old farm ladies who were wonderful cooks. When l was a little kid in the 60s, in southern Missouri, almost every lady could cook like crazy. Seemed like they all made the best fried chicken. Brisket, dumplins, hot rolls, pork in every form it seemed, cooler, cooler, cooler, hand churned ice cream. The only thing better was to sit and listen to these beautiful folks talk and to interact with them. I love those Ozark people.

When your state’s most iconic food is pretty underwhelming: *My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.*

Lifelong Michigander here with the unique perspective of being both a Yooper and Troll, and I’m surprised it was our Mackinac Island fudge. We usually get assigned the cliches like Vernors or BetterMade potato chips. The fudge is good though. You can also find it in gas stations all over the state. 😂

#7 Kentucky- The “Hot Brown” Hahaha! They might as well have called it “The Diahrrea”!

“Dry ribs are covered with a dry rub” Hmmm, the floor is made out of floor.

As a European who loves Italian-style pizza, one of my culinary dreams is to travel to New York to try their pizza, but also to Chicago to try the deep dish. One awesome thing about the USA being so big and so diverse is that you can find literally every type of cuisine there, both genuine and Americanized.

I just want to say that me and my wife went to the ceasers buffet and was *IMPRESSED*

So good🔥🔥🔥
