What Dish Represents Each State and Which US Region has the Best Food? New Poll.

Which states in the USA are known for the best food and what are the dishes most associated with each state? A new poll has the answers. p>

A survey of 5,000 Americans— split evenly by state—explored sentiments about each region’s homemade dishes and which are the tastiest.

The top state chosen for best food was California—with New York, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida rounding out the top five regions with the best cuisine.

Above all, Louisianans know they’ve got it nailed: 94% of those surveyed expressed the most confidence in their state as having the best cuisine.

On the other hand, many states left respondents completely unimpressed with their cuisine— including West Virginia, Indiana, Montana, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North and South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming.

Everyone surveyed was asked to choose a dish that best represents their state; some were predictable, like New York’s pizza, California’s Mexican food, and Texas’ barbecue. (See full  list at the bottom… )

Other responses were thoroughly original: New Hampshire residents boasted about their apple cider donuts, Utah folks took pride in their “fry sauce” and Ohioians ecstatically boasted about their “buckeyes.”
