I'm from Louisiana adjacent, Mississippi, so I have to say something. Gumbo made with the right spicing and ingredients isnt like anything else on the planet. File powder (sassafras leaf), okra, brick rue or darker, the caribbean, african, french influence. It incorporates a lot of flavors from all over the place. Locally its made rustic with whole chicken thighs (skin on), and Andouille sausage. The reason you keep land to land and sea to sea is because of the stock is different for each one. The land uses chicken stock made usually from scratch from the bird you cut up for the gumbo and the sea version uses a shrimp stock that utilizes the shrimp peels from fresh shrimp.

[@billyscuba2763]

I'm not from but live in Louisiana and have been here for a third of my life now. I've always been told that the mixing of land and sea in gumbo is a huge no no in authentic Gumbo. I've had mixed versions that are really delicious, but they're not "traditional" (at least in the way I've had people tell me to make it) and if this video is supposed to try and get the dish as close as possible to the regional one, then mixing was a mistake IMO.

[@sinepari9160]

He's clearly never been to NYC. The simple fact that you can get an incredible slice in under 2 minutes for under $2 on virtually every corner of the city makes NYC pizza god-tier alone.

[@thatnobodyguy1535]

As a fellow Utahn, I agree we got completely hosed. Of all the funeral potatoes I've ever seen those were the crap low effort style. Sliced golden russet potatoes not cheap store bought shredded hash browns. A browned crust of cornflakes not a handful tossed on top. A sauced consistency not a soupy-pudding. That's a solid standard, but I've seen flair like diced jalapenos, chopped bacon, sausage, & cream or cheddar cheese added to the sauce.

[@ethancollier5793]

My elation that they actually chose funeral potatoes (and not green jello, seriously who is the one saying we eat green jello?) was quickly dashed.

As a former Mid-Southerner, pulled pork is either done very well or it's dry AF - very rarely in-between. It's simple food so the details matter. Think carnitas tacos, except the meat is smoked instead of braised. Also, cole slaw can be a great addition to a pulled pork sandwich, but which kind you use matters. If you're using a Memphis-style sauce, you have to use a vinegar slaw to balance the sweetness. If you're using a Carolina-style sauce, you have to use a creamy slaw to balance the acidity. 🐷

Which tastes like almost nothing. Like all lobster. But we pay, like, 10CAD/lb max. I regularly see it for 40USD/lb in Maine, etc. Side story - When my grandfather was growing up in Newfoundland his family has to bury their lobster shells in the back yard, because if anyone saw the shells in their trash, they'd be denigrated as the poorest of the poor. Similarly: there are still laws on the books in the US that give a strict limit for how many lobster meals you're allowed to feed a prisoner each week. Lesson: lobster is only fancy because you've been taught it is by marketers who have only existed since canning+railways.

As an Alaskan, I appreciate the salmon love. We often get associated with hush puppies and baked alaska up here, but salmon is ubiquitous here.

[@brianlervold318]

Other Alaskan, I’d have rather seen some crab.

[@ThePositive0ne1]

I haven't watched the video yet and your comment caught my eye, but really? Salmon? I mean I don't know what else to expect, but I'm sure there's other more popular dishes than fish that's almost native to Alaska.

[@DeionSC2]

OMG I was just about to say this

[@DeionSC2]

@@brianlervold318 I could see that, but if its Alaskan crab being showcased it would be king crab. Not everyone eats king crab due to price, but EVERYONE eats salmon because silvers (atleast in anchorage) can just be caught in ship's creek and frozen until the next salmon run

[@KatsuKingTV]

As a local from Hawaii, spam musubi was a good choice, but I think if any dish would represent my state, it would have been the classic "Loco moco," which they probably would have given an S or A tier For people who don't know, a traditional "Loco moco" is a dish served with rice, eggs & hamburger patties on top, and then the dish is covered in brown gravy. It's delicious 👌

[@ThaBornIdentity]

As someone from Idaho, I never heard of that food, but I know in the west part there is a big basque community, so basque food could make the list. As someone who lives on the East side, I see more potatoe fields, so a good hamburger/sandwich with fries and fry sauce...

[@chrispicard2167]

Fry sauce is the idaho staple. I would have been ok with the steak finger with fry sauce.

[@arsenaIstan]

I live in New Mexico, and green Chile cheeseburger is a good representation, but the green Chile you used is from a can and usually has preservatives or is pickled. To get the right flavor, it has to be fresh roasted. Would've probably been S tier in that case

[@mralexdude2038]

THIS IS HUGE. can we get a redo T_T

[@l0stnessMPC]

Agree. The green chile we put on our food is always fresh roasted and chopped. Although I prefer a good breakfast burrito smothered in red chile myself.

[@jaimiehamilton4117]

I cannot agree more! Just looking at that green chile they used...no char on it, likely from a can. (Lord knows what brand was used.) I wanna ship these dudes some fresh roasted stuff for a do over.

[@l0stnessMPC]

@@caseytwill I live in ABQ and one of my absolute favorite dishes is a bowl of Cream of Chicken & Green Chile from Christy Mae's restaurant. It is absolutely delicious and I could eat it every day. My mom also makes a green chile chicken enchilada casserole that is absolutely out of this world. And I buy Monroe's red chile by the jar and put it on pretty much every breakfast dish I make. I moved to Denver for 3 years and made my parents ship me care packages of red & green chile and sopapilla mix every month lol. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the country has great food too, but nothing hits quite like authentic New Mexican food.

As an Alaskan, I second this. Smoked Salmon alone is a staple, but smoked salmon dip is irreplaceable in my heart. I feeling though that they couldnt get their hands on an Alaskan caught red, which makes me sad

[@WolfIshElm]

Agreed! Coming from rural alaska, nothing hit better than catching a silver or king, throwing it in the smoker with a compound butter, and leaving it for 3 days until it’s tender enough for dip

I understand why they went with the Pepperoni Roll. It is a staple in WV. It was a quick meal for the coal miners. It was also cheap and easy to make. Feeding many West Virginians during the Great Depression. But there is one thing that stands out even more. A hotdog with chili, slaw, mustard, and onion.

knoephla soup! It's pronounced like 'neff-la'. I'm glad you guys liked it! The bare bones genuine knoephla soup is made with chicken stock, cream (or whole milk), potatoes, onions, and the chewy dumplings but many people add in carrots, celery, and chicken to it. It's the ultimate comfort food around here and everyone who cooks swears either they or their mom or grandma have the best recipe.

As another Georgian, I've never even heard of lemon pepper wet wings beyond the occasional chain restaurant, I even am a wing connoisseur some would say. I'm not saying they are bad, but state food? Nah. A good peach pie or cobbler would have been the best choice. As famous as our pimento cheese is, that's more of a Kentucky thing.

Stay in ATL for a second and try some food. I can understand where the peach votes come from but the tierlist changes dramatically when you've tried lemon pepper or lemon pepper wet wings and ATL BBQ. The tier list instantly become 1. Lemon Pepper/Lemon Pepper Wet wings, 2. ATL BBQ, 3. Peach stuff, 4. Pecan stuff. Follow your heart.
