Eww, what’s wrong with Montanans.

Cincinnati chili was actually started by a Greek family. They opened a restaurant that offered traditional Greek pastitso, which is similar to lasagna. Most customers didn't know what it was and it didn't sell very well. Since chili was popular at that time, they used many of the pastitso spices to make their own chili spaghetti and coney island hot dogs. These became very popular so other restaurants (most owned by Greeks) created their own versions. Although Skyline is the most popular in our area, I prefer the non-chain restaurants and Gold Star. It becomes addictive.
Another distinct Cincinnati food is goetta, a blend of sausage and rolled oats traditional breakfast meat for Germans in the area. People love it or hate it, but I really like it fried crisply.

Have you ever tried Rocky Mountain Oysters? I’d take those over a hot dog any day.

From NY. The pizza is the best.

Live in NH. Absolutely hate poutine.

Vacation mostly in Vermont. I do love apple pie and cheddar.

You must like the taste of rubbery chicken gizzards, lol. Only after a pitcher of beer for me and I'd rather have the hot dog.

No chili for Texas?

Not if prepared properly. There is a bar in Severance, CO that specializes in RMOs. I think you might even change your mind if you tried theirs!

As a reluctant transplant to Indiana, I gotta say I don't understand pork tenderloin sandwiches. They're usually dry, of course they're fried, and the bun is usually unremarkable. Every local festival here is essentially a food truck roundup, with a splash of Valentine's Day or St Patrick's Day or whatever thrown in. There IS a lot of BBQ and some of it pretty good, especially down here just across the river from Kentucky.

I've had all but one of these.

And there are only two I simply can't stand. Chili and cinnamon rolls go together about as well as french fries and motor oil. Skyline chili isn't just "not chili," it barely counts as food. Mixing pie spices and chili is an affront to the chili gods. Blasphemy on a plate, with cheese.

The rest of the dishes are either "really good," with a few "why is this rather bland thing a staple food?" And then there are burritos, green chili burgers, brisket, lobster rolls, poke and NC whole hog, which are the foods I'd offer up as "this is as good as the US gets."

Some guy who's never been out of his home state did some Internet research and thereby declared that such and such meal is the most iconic dish in whatever state.

For example:

Massachusetts

clam chowder

"You'll find this comfort food classic at just about every restaurant across the state of Massachusetts."

Funny. I've never seen clam chowder at any pizza place or in any Italian restaurant in Mass. Not in any Asian (Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai) restaurant. Not in Halal, Greek, Turkish, or Indian restaurants. Not Mexican, not Chilean, not Salvadoran, not Dominican. Just the relatively small percent seafood restaurants. So hardly "just about every restaurant".

I guess this kind of article is "fun" but not really a true reflection of reality.
