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.

[@oldspice051]

They did at least go over it in their "50 Favorite Desserts" list.

This channel also did a list of the most popular DESSERT in each state and they chose Pecan Pie for Texas, so maybe that's why they didn't pick it here, too?

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

[@1950Grendel]

I was also surprised. A lot of states have other items that could've made the cut. I live in Illinois and the Chicago hot dog or Italian beef could've made the cut. South Carolina could've been barbecue with gold sauce. Utah could've been fry sauce. Personally, I like both Nashville hot chicken and Memphis-style ribs. I'm sure that most of the other states have other well-known foods that could've made the cut.

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!

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).

Californian here. Pretty sure most Californians wouldn't agree with avocado.

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.

The only thing better was to sit and listen to these beautiful folks talk and to interact with them. I love those Ozark people.
