Here\u2019s a great piece about iconic food items in each of our fifty states by David Rosengarten, a two-time James Beard-winning food journalist and the writers of Flavored Nation<\/a>. Not sure if I can endorse all of them, but it\u2019s always good to expand your horizons when it comes to unique recipes \u2013 which hopefully does not expand your waistline as well. Come to think of it, there\u2019s a few recipes that I had no idea of either. Enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Japanese cuisine relies heavily on raw fish, rice, and seaweed, while pasta, risotto, and cheese are the fabric of Italian plates. But when it comes to American food, it\u2019s not exactly easy to define. That\u2019s why the culinary experts, chefs, and food writers at Flavored Nation<\/a> pulled together this list of the best American foods. According to David Rosengarten, a two-time James Beard-winning food journalist and content director at Flavored Nation, they drew data from research, consumer input via social media, and conversations with state tourism boards.<\/p>\n

\u201dNo one wrote a guidebook on how to authentically identify the United States\u2019 most iconic foods. It\u2019s been an amazing adventure and challenge,\u201d Rosengarten said in a press release. Barbecue pulled pork, shrimp and grits, key lime pie, and lobster rolls are classic American dishes you can easily associate with a state or region, but other states that aren\u2019t culinary destinations are harder to pinpoint. \u201cSome states, like Louisiana, California, and New York, are well known for multiple dishes. For other states, like South Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska, I personally drew a blank,\u201d Rosengarten said.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re planning a trip across the country at any point, bookmark this story for the best American foods in every state. We hear North Dakota makes a mean bowl of potato soup and West Virginia has killer pepperoni rolls.<\/p>\n
