Can't emphasize how wrong the Cincinnati chili was 😭😭 it might have been Cincinnati chili on paper, but you need way more sauce and absolutely to either get it at skyline or make it yourself, the Greek-inspired spice blend doesn't make sense otherwise. You can also order it without the raw onion if you don't like it like that (but I might judge you if you do), and you also have the option of adding beans, hot sauce, and crackers. It's not a pasta dish. It's chili that happens to be served with a carb.
i know for a fact almost that my country would get screwed unless they chose one dish from here Lohikeitto which is like creamy salmon soup from finland everything tastes good here in my opinion i just think the soup would be best for the american palette
Joshua is banned from dining in Wisconsin until an apology is issued for calling cheese curds "chode mozzarella sticks" bc how dare you forget we make cheddar ones
I suspect the problem might be the quality of the cheese. I'm not from Wisconsin, but I've had curds made from the freshest, most delicious Wisconsin cheese, and they were AMAZING!!!
I really like this video as a non American. Many people say that the USA doesn't have a culture or a cuisine, but being a "foodie" myself, I wanted to believe differently and you have proved it to me. I have a new goal in this country, try as many of these dishes as I can, and talk about American food as a thing ☺️ Food is a great gateway to appreciate culture, and you have made me appreciate this country a bit more.
I applaud your ability to open your eyes to it, many assume we somehow have adopted no culture, when in fact we have mixes of several different ones in every state that mesh into its own breed of culture. People refuse to see it because we’re Americans.
Anyone who says this is incredibly ignorant. American culture is a huge conglomeration of cultures; did culture just die somewhere along the line? As far as stereotypical "American" goes: what the hell is wrong with hamburgers, fried chicken, green salad, mashed potatoes or French fries, roasted turkey, chili, shrimp boil, cole slaw, or iced tea?
People outside of the US are usually pretty negative and pretty much hateful towards the country. I don't pay attention to the haters, they're as ignorant as they think we are. Hypocritical I must say.
I'll accept the B for the NYC pizza because that is truly the essence of it, really. It's not supposed to be a god-tier culinary experience - it's supposed to be $1.50 a slice bought in a hole in the wall shop and eaten with one hand on the street.
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.
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.
Born and raised in LA, I've never had seafood gumbo. I've always had chicken and sausage. Will also say that I just won't order anything Cajun off a menu outside of that region of the south because it has never been correct for me. Locally made Cajun is difficult for a non-Cajun to replicate.
They also dogged on the next burger which was at least interesting with the green chilli's but no the plain burger with onions is somehow the best dish....
@sosleepy512 100%, a good chunk of these dishes are unable to be replicated in a home kitchen and were reflected as such in the video. The CT-style pizza rating was crazy to me. I've lived in more than enough states to know that nobody can do a New Haven pizza like CT or even MA. When the onion smash burger won and its almost-identical cousin wasn't even in the running, I chuckled.
That lobster roll you used for Maine is actually a Connecticut lobster roll. The Maine lobster roll is the cold lobster roll, made with mayonnaise. The hot lobster roll with melted butter is Connecticut.
They messed up a few things here. They allowed Arkansas to claim chocolate gravy and biscuits and that is an original Tennessee breakfast that likely started because of the Spanish trade in the Appalachian mountains. Also I disagree with some of the stuff they allowed to be voted so high and then some of the stuff they voted so low.
Agree - the warm, buttered lobster roll is a Connecticut thing. Go to Lobster Landing in Clinton for a good one. Why did they choose the bland, plain apizza (“ah-beetz”) for Connecticut? Ugh, my dad orders that all the time and rants about why pizza is better without mozzarella. It isn’t, it’s just bland. People not from Connecticut, I promise you that in New Haven, you can get apizza with mozzarella and the traditional toppings, too. And it’s good - way better than the bland kind. My favorite is Modern Apizza on State Street.
As a Sconsie Cheese Curds are a side dish. Better choice 1) Walleye, pan or deep fried. 2) Friday night fishfry. 3) Brats. Simmered in beer and onions. Served with Kraut and a good horseradish mustard.
I’m happy you honored the salmon! I’m an Alaskan Native (Aleut tribe)! We eat our wild salmon all types of ways, pickled, dried, smoked, candied, baked, and fried ❤️ Glad you liked it! I just wish a more hearty salmon dish got voted.
…and I laughed when the guy said, “…even in America there are other smoked fish…”. Guess that memo that Alaska is part of America needs to be recirculated. Or maybe not! 😆
I love salmon, it’s so good, I usually have it in restaurants, and one time this one restaurant made it in bbq sauce which was arguably the best salmon I’ve ever had
@@sadbear420 I'm from British Columbia, and eating salmon from anywhere besides BC/Alaska just ain't right, a beautiful, beautiful animal that I will eat any part of any time.
as someone from CT, i legit shed a tear at the fact that you did a CT-style lobster roll for maine (ME dresses theirs in mayo chilled, it's great too!) and the fact that NH-style pizza is legit only something you can get good in new haven. other counties in CT can't even get that type of pizza right.
I was thinking the same thing! Missing the well seasoned pizza oven that only gets better with time! Lived in CT my whole life, I just moved out west to CO and I miss PIZZA!!!!
A perfect chocolate sauce might be too strong, but spreading it out over a delicious flaky bun/biscuit is a type of French desert cuisine so... yeah it, and very many foods like it, are S tier on their own. For example, blueberry pancakes with maple syrup.
I'm from Georgia and as soon as I saw the plate I shouted "LEMON PEPPER WET, BABY! ATL in the house!" S-Tier is damn right! Thank you for recognizing the greatness.
A good Cuban Sammie is one of my faves. The Gobbler is my top. Good crunchy bread like a baguette, turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, and gravy.
Yeah they butchered CT. Soak that lobster in butter and throw in on a split top bun. New Haven pizza is hard to replicate, those old ovens make a difference.
Thank you! I’m glad someone said it. I personally think New Haven pizza was average. Living in ct most of my life. The lobster roll should of been ours.
Or the fact that he chose brisket over chicken fried steak. I mean, I guess that's what outsiders would think, but here in Texas, chicken fried steak is everywhere compared to brisket. Even places that are famous for bbq still sell chicken fried steak.
Y'all stole the words from my mouth. I don't understand. I guess they needed sauce. I like chicken fried, but brisket was the right choice to be represented.
As a New Jerseyan, the secret to good Taylor Ham Sandwich is to sub Taylor Ham for Bacon, and just make a better breakfast sandwich. Especially if you're going to be using higher quality ingredients and making less of a fast-food style breakfast sandwich. High quality bacon is going to just be better then any taylor ham/pork roll you can buy.
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. 🐷
NC born and raised. For every 10 BBQ places there is only 1 that doesn't suck. Only a small handful of places across the state which do it the right way.
As someone from the lower peninsula of Michigan, I have never seen or heard of a Pasty ( The food ) before, down in the lower peninsula I would say 100% our food is just coney dogs, the fun part of Michigan Coney dogs is our Coney sauce is made from Beef Heart traditionally and anyone who has tried both normal coneys and Michigan Coney's can tell you, Michigan ones are something different which is why we have a million places that say " Best Coney in the state. " From this or that year.
@@sk1dr0wagreed, I agree with the Maine one but Rhode Island favorite is clam cakes with a side of New England clam chowder. I’m European but I have visited family in New England mainly Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts. Fried Calamari is not really a go to for Rhode Islanders. Hell they would refer stuffies instead behind clam cakes and that is basically stuffed clam shell.
As a Marylander I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen “Maryland Style” crab cakes in other states and have been like “Nope. No. Uh Uh.” Our crab cakes are basically just lump crab, old bay and as little binder as humanly possible. Glad you guys loved them!
Fr dude I’ve seen so many end up looking like there’s not even crab in there just straight up looks like a very poor made white/red vegan burger or something 😭. Like dude stop adding 50 different things to it, that’s not how yall make those 😭 ain’t Maryland style at all 😭
As an Alaskan, I was wondering what you would choose. The smoked salmon spread was on point. I did not even realize how staple it is to all of us until you chose it. Everyone has their own family recipe. Yours reminds me of my dad's. Thank you for choosing so well and appreciating it.
As a born and raised Marylander who now lives in Texas, it warmed my lil watershed heart to see the reaction to our crab cake. Blue crabs are a big part of MD culture and its great to see it shine here 😁
I'm just glad he didnt make a go at pit beef. Especially with texas bbq out there it starts getting compared to texas brisket and every marylander has to explain the high heat pit beef and to not try to serve pit beef like texas brisket
Plus they picked some garbage for some of the states. Like New Jersey, that state is home a gillion Italian people, wtf, a spam sandwich. Not too sure about where they get their votes from.
Same guy who said people in Connecticut should take the train to New York City for pizza said that New York style pizza is the worst form of pizza there is
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. Not to mention that their slices are massive and actually taste great. In the midwest, you'd pay 3x that for a slice half as good and half the size. And you'd wait for 30 minutes for it too.
@@shockerjasonwhere the Midwest excels in its Pizzas (specifically Chicago) is its tavern style pizzas. Chicago Deep Dish isn’t even Pizza and is literally Lasagna Pie. Detroit actually makes a REAL deep dish style pizza.
The problem with ranking funeral potatoes is that you haven’t had them made by a grandma that’s been making it their whole life. Nor my moms potatoes, hers are the best
Came here to say exactly this. They don’t know what good funeral potatoes are until you go to Utah and have a neighbor bring them to you when you move to their block.
they have to actually go to these states and look for who makes these dishes the best and then rate. Almost all the ones they came are good, are simple basic food that's good anywhere
Maybe I have some bias being a Utahn, but I do genuinely think they / Josh just didn't make the funeral potatoes correctly. everyone in this thread is correct, you haven't had real Funeral Potatoes until you've had them made by a Utahn who has been making them for funerals, family reunions, etc. for decades.
@@davidevans6103 my buddy and I talked a lot about this video recently. Long or short it starts off with the topic of "what is a good representation of the state and taste good". By 1/3 of the way in it digresses to "how well can I cook the item that was voted on". Half the stuff that is voted highly is fried or barbecue; if you look at Jersey or Virginia he didn't even use the correct ingredients (Jersey is still trash but it deserves to earn that D on its own). Did you see New Hampshire?! It was some grocery store, stale looking donuts and they moved on. Like tf?
Yall just need more crab meat in your crab cakes! It would go from S to S+. Less filler and fresh crab is the key! And my experience is limited to ordering crab cakes at about 5-7 places in Maryland, so it's not like I live there.
All day this. People take pride in their local dishes. You can taste that pride in the finished product. Not too mention they've made so many of them they have little tricks here and there that make it better. You can give 5 people the same recipe and get 5 drastically different dishes
After watching the American v English breakfast, I have to agree: English people NEVER make their beans, they buy canned. It would be like doing a Pacific Islander recipe and home-making Spam - that's NOT the actual meal.
As someone who grew up and still lives in Utah, we were misrepresented. Funeral potatoes are one of my favorite foods, and I recommend trying it. Clearly not for everyone, as seen in the video, but almost everyone I know can agree that funeral potatoes are one of the best dishes for events like Thanksgiving or Christmas
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.
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. To me it looked like they didn't have enough cheese, and didn't bake it long enough. Plus you're supposed to put the corn flakes on at the end when the potatoes are mostly done.
Same, I have eaten tons of "funeral potatoes" living in Utah my entire life, and my reaction to seeing what he made was "WTF are those?!" Seriously, @joshuaweissman, if you want an actual recipe for funeral potatoes, let me know and I'll hook you up with a family recipe.
Absolutely stoked to see salmon dip as the dish. And the amazing thing is you can totally add in whatever you’d like to make it your own. Though all the ones I’ve tried has always followed relatively the same recipe shown here, my family have their own alternations, maybe some diced jalapeños , smoked salmon, some fresh yellow peppers can be a fun addition as well!
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 👌
ill have to look this up, as someone who knows 3 Hawaiians, its all about spam musubi which me as a midwestern really appreciates spam now for what it can truly become! either way, love it!
For New Mexico you have to use the NM Hatch Green Chili bc its an entirely diff experience! we roast them, peel them and chop them then use on everything;)
A Mainer here, you tried a connecticut roll. A Maine lobster roll is served with the lobster meat chilled and dressed in mayo with some crunchy greens like chives, celery, and/or scallions. A Connecticut lobster roll is served warm, dunked in butter, on a toasted bun.
This so true. CT and RI rolls r way different than a Maine. Not mention the New Haven CT pizza was made in some electronic oven😂 not even close to what it should be. Disgrace
@@OVSKnicksswear I’m triggered right now. couldn’t even be bothered to do their research obviously. And used a $50 electric oven probably from friggin Ikea. Not coal fired not 800 degrees . They just lost all their credibility for food will be unsubscribing now
And either way they cost way too much and taste way too little. Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada, where we produce some of the most prized lobster in the world. 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.
I live on Maryland's Eastern Shore so ... That said, I've had some poor excuses for crab cakes in places that you would think they'd be great. The best I've had are frequently found in places where the expectations weren't that high. But in any case, in my mind, you can't eat one without a slice of fully ripe tomato and an ice cold beer.
I’m from Baltimore, and grew up eating scrapple for breakfast. The key is to slice it thin, then flour the slices before frying. I know it’s an acquired taste. Scrapple, egg and cheese on toast with butter/jelly 🔥
The fact that he did funeral potatoes so dirty right out of the gate, I totally agree. He needs them made by someone who isn’t just following a googled recipe. It should be one that has been in the family for a few generations, and made with love.
mans broke my heart with that. didn’t even think to add green chili to it or beans. i was more upset that a navajo taco/fry bread didn’t make the list for AZ. that’s my favorite and the staple AZ food to me.
Seriously. Even a basic Sonoran Dog from El Guero Canelo in Tucson looks and tastes better than what Josh made. You need the local touch to really appreciate it.
I was not only named after the dish gumbo, I am a descendant of the man who created the legendary creole seasoning, Tony Chachere. I can say that my family recipe is a land gumbo but I appreciate a good land a sea one. Glad it got an S tier to say the least.
Not from Connecticut but I feel like they got a really raw deal here. Their pizza is legendary and the one made here did a really poor job representing it.
New Haven pizza deserves a better version than they presented here---NY pizza was also less than properly made. Both the New Haven and NYC versions deserved better than you showed us.
As a native born Oklahoman, it made me very happy to see how far up the board the fried onion burger made it. If you’re ever passing through central Oklahoma make sure to stop at either Sid’s Diner or Roberts!
Yes exactly! I was so proud to see us hit that #1 rank!! We know our food well here, that burger is a tip of the iceberg, here's hoping they visit and try some more local fare!
Nic's @ 12th & Penn in OKC, Bunny's at 50th and Meridian and Okie Tonk Cafe on 19th street west of I-35 in Moore are also great, but you can't beat Sid's.
I think a fun idea for a follow-up video would be to reinvent the F-tier foods to try and make them S-tier Edit: As a Michigan native, I'm happy to see you all enjoy the pasty! Edit #2: Wow wow, I did not expect this many upvotes! Y'all are amazing!
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.
@@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
Ditto for the Pittsburgh half of PA... FYI a sandwich with pizza crust bread is called a Wedgie and all the Pennsylvanians that forget Philly even exists until hockey season comes around want our voices heard lol
dude, i was born and raised here and to say the least i am pissed off that it wasn't one of our better dishes, like who tf is going to enjoy a well done steak finger.
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.
@@floodlime8620 its super easy to make as well! Im from ND and any time i see a restaurant has it i order it. i was actually surprised his had chicken in it, most people do not add a meat with potatoes and dumplings being the main filling portion of the soup
It’s such a comfort food, I was expecting our state to not be great because everything is kinda bland compared to other states but I’m glad that’s what won. Also Ps the fact that you can buy it by the bucket at krolls is awesome
At 5:56, you are absolutely mistaken, sir - anyone and everyone raised in North Carolina is looking for pulled pork. The problem is in the Lexington style sauce chosen to douse that clearly dry (and possibly pre-frozen) pork. Go further east for a better sandwich.
As an Oklahoman, I am BAFFLED that we won overall. I will say that a fried onion smash patty is damn good, especially with the right sauces. Tucker's Onion Burgers is a thing we have here, and this is their signature trademark, they're pretty good too!
A few years back i had a burger that might have been an an onion burger literally at a comic store called DZ Comics in Moore. I swear that thing was the best burger i ever had
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
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.
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.
@@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 a West Virginian, if you look at the history behind the pepperoni rolls, they were not made to be a culinary revolution. They were made as cheap and easy meals for the coal miners that lived in poverty’s lunches. Now that they’re common among all West Virginian’s as our favorite school lunches and gas station snacks, they can be made with more flavor and delicious! I prefer to add garlic powder into my butter and top with parsley. Steph’s it up a notch or two. Loved the video and will always love this channel! Just wanted to show my home state some appreciation 💙💛
I wish they introduced some culinary history alongside the dishes. It's clear some were created during times of hardship and it'd be interesting to learn the history of the dishes
Exactly. Like, the basic pepperoni roll is mid. It wasn’t made to taste good, it was made to feed you. As a blue collar worker, who was raised broke, they’re what I eat for lunch.
@@abysswicked9076...but it does taste good though. People have gotten too snobby and picky, and won't eat anything simple anymore without complaining. PB&J and a glass of milk. Plain mac and cheese. A plain ham (or your favorite cold cuts) sandwich with just your favorite condiment. It's ridiculous. That sort of stuff was everyday lunch growing up. I still think that simple foods are still usually the best foods most of the time. Getting stuck with friends or family at a restaurant with nothing normal or simple on the menu just sucks.
my girlfriend is from there and the very first thing she made for me was that exactly. It was easy to make and easy on the wallet so they had a lot of it growing up!
As a life long New Mexican and only 30 minutes away form Hatch it also needs to be the correct variety of chile. You need a little bead of sweat running down your brow when you're finished. I would've voted for something other than a burger for NM tho.
You dropped the ball on New Hampshire, the puritan backroom, in Manchester NH is credited for inventing the chicken tender, their coconut chicken tender with their sauce is simply immaculate
I am not a Connecticut native, but New Haven pizza is incredible. I lived in New Britain for six months and ate pizza religiously while in Connecticut. Y’all are wild for that
Not to mention that they made a Connecticut-style lobster for Maine's dish (Maine lobster rolls are made with cold lobster salad) and ranked it much higher.
@@kayla644 I was thinking when I saw the video lobster roll or clam/mussel chowder might have made the cut. I was glad with New Haven pizza because it's my favorite, but then I realized it's not realistic to make at home.
I came looking for this comment. 🤣 I'm from CT and that pizza did NOT look right. Almost looked like some flat gluten free thing. They need to hit up Frank Pepes for sure
Something I noticed about many of the S tier foods (except for the soups) is that they are very simply made, not a ton of ingredients or a lot of fuss making them. The Oklahoma onion burger was actually a depression era thing. The onions were added in order to use less meat per patty.
I’m not from OK but I know about the depression era. My great grandmother, grandmother and mother went through it. You are very correct about “filler,” but according to all my beautiful women in that time, it better have flavor!! Any dull filler just made a families night heartsick. Being of German descent, I was taught to make any item I served “flavorful.”
Can we get a BTS on how this video was stage managed? Like.. from recipe sourcing to ingredient ordering to mis en place to filming and all of that scheduling? And, then like.. editing and the voice over? This process is fascinating.
As a native New Mexican, that canned green chile is weak, but as someone who's also lived in Oklahoma for 18 years, nothing slaps as hard as an onion smashburger. This gave me the idea to try green chile and onion smashburgers next time I make them. God-tier right there
I agree, if Hatch green chilies weren't used, then it should not be called NM green chili cheeseburger. And for me the use of mayo on a NM green chili cheeseburger is an abomination, use yellow mustard only(like Blake's lotaburger style).
@@jun.oshimaI literally said that.. who said mayo??? It's mustard only if you're being original. But how we didn't vote for green Chile chicken enchiladas is beyond me. And how Arizona didn't use the Navajo taco.. again baffled
I’m a Louisiana woman and gumbo is a staple. A lot of people either love our food or hate it. It’s very heavy and some people can’t handle the spice or heaviness. It’s hard to eat other states food bc it’s bland and light! 😂❤
same born and raised and your right a lot of people cant handle our food because we like that cajun and yeah i hate other states food because it taste like they literally just put salt and pepper nahhhh we need that spice
My Papaw was born and raised in Arkansas and his favorite breakfast was chocolate gravy and biscuits. It was a staple on our sunday mornings. Guy was born in 1940 and that was his childhood delicacy so damned if he didn't request it every sunday when he grew up. RIP Papaw, 2012
As a native Utahn, I was NOT surprised that they were represented with funeral potatoes. I've also had so many different kinds of the stuff that I'd rank anywhere from B to Never enrolled in school.
Funeral potatoes are awesome but you have to get someone who knows how to make it because a lot of people think they know how make them and yes they are served at funerals
As a Georgian, I was originally wondering why lemon pepper wings were chosen to represent us. They're so common. Then I realized I think they're just common here, but they aren't as common in other parts of the US. You can go to pretty much any restaurant that serves chicken in Georgia and find some variation of lemon pepper chicken wings.
Yeah that one is odd, they weren't even first made there. I would have guessed peach cobbler or something but I would have chosen the Vidalia onion lol
Lemon pepper is my favorite wing flavor and I've had lemon pepper wings all over the country but only in Georgia, specifically Atlanta have I found lemon pepper wet available and imo it's much better than the dry ones you usually find elsewhere
Being an American growing up and living overseas most of my life, American food is very underrated, thank you for making this video. It is the perfect response to anyone who says the US only has burgers and fries or food from elsewhere. Some foods like pies and biscuits you are used to, simply don't exist in most countries in these shapes and styles.
The issue, imo, as your Mexican neighbors POV. The US doesn't really promote or export these. The world mostly know the US for fast food like hamburgers because unfortunately that's what the US exports. There are many things I miss from the US but unfortunately for now I can only enjoy McDonald's like food. I would love to buy some US biscuits.
It’s because they want to get technical and say that all our dishes are imports from other countries, we just change them a little. But what do they expect from a country made of mainly immigrants?
This video was so fun! I’m from Norway, but I cook a lot! I have made a lot of food from all over the world, but haven’t really explored America even though I’ve been there several times. And people can say what they want, but there is so much good food from America! Most likely since people all over the world have lived there for generations! Melting together so much good food, creating recipes that’s absolutely unique! I look forward to trying out these dishes❤
For the salmon grill it in general for the Washington experience. How do you like your grilled food items? Do the salmon like that and enjoy. other thought Eastern Washington and Western Washington night and day there is no comparison betwixt them meaning climate and culture might be slightly different as far as I am concerned Eastern Washington is a hot dry hell Western Washington is a wet, verdant, and temperature-neutral paradise
You can’t recreate street tacos and an horchata you get from a street vendor late at night after a night of drinking in California. When the lady says “enjoy your food mijo” I feel a lot happier
I live in Seattle and I was racking my brain for what food I would pick for Washington State. I didn't even think of cedar plank salmon but as soon as you showed it I was like, "oh yeah, thats exactly what food would represent Washington." I literally have a pack of cedar planks in my cupboards right now.
Yeah i gave up on CT pizza i lived there pepes sals pizza It's a joke not to go to the places its cooked proper by locals Quote i never had clam chowder before Next Lost all respect
As a fellow Okie, I'm happy but not surprised. Onion burgers absolutely slam. Best burger I've ever had was a fried onion bison burger at The Garage in Moore.
On one hand- its just a smash burger with onions and Chicago got robbed! On the other hand, Illinois is more than Chicago- (even though the Chicago Metro area contains 3/4ths of the population) And you know what, Oklahoma needs more love. Stull don't know how you all got a basketball team 😂
Musubi nerd here. If you don't have a sushi/musubi mold, you can use the can of SPAM to mold the rice and SPAM either via plastic wrap inside the can or use the nori (seaweed) wrap. The more you know! 😆
As an Oklahoma native, I'm shocked and humbled at the S. I think there's something however uniquely American about it and how it was made and why. Using beef as flat as possible and as many onions as possible simply because it's cheaper. Making something maybe halfway decent if you squint at it out of absolutely nothing is the Oklahoma way, so being ranked that highly is flattering. Next time ya'll are driving through, stop at a greasy spoon and have an onion burger and sit at the counter.
Actually, Oklahoma did reinvent the wheel with the fried onion burger. Burgers were burgers except the fried onion burger was invented not only during the Dust Bowl, but also the Great Depression was happening too. Meat was scarce and onions were easy to grow, so they used as little beef and as much onion to substitute. Here we are almost 100 years later still loving this burger.
I have never been more proud of my state Oklahoma in my entire life, I will share this video with my grandchildren one day. Truly, we are a beacon of culinary civilization.
As a born and raised New Hampshirite, Apple Cider Donuts slap when you're walking outside during a festival and you eat them hot. The crispy edge, the aroma of apples fills the air, and then sugar and cinnamon falling everywhere. This is a food item meant in making memories.
His apple cider donut was an embarrassment to apple cider donuts. When he pulled off part of it like it was stale or store-bought? Absolutely disgusting. They should be crisp but moist and eaten within 5 minutes of being made. This is the way of the shire.
as a local from Oregon, I couldn't agree more. I grew up on a marionberry farm and spent my childhood every summer picking fresh berries. my grandma would make fresh pies and food out of marion berries
I think it should've been rated higher, if you make the marionberry filling right its AMAZING. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and its gotta be at least a high B low A. I'm also an Oregonian so I'm biased.
I watched another cooking channel over the holidays, and the girl gave her mother some of those berries. I I had never heard of them, and I've been around a long time 😅. What do they taste like? When she showed them on there they looked like blackberries.
I’m from Oregon and I love marionberry’s. When I moved away there wasn’t anything quite like that taste. Maybe it’s because I grew up on it. But the fact that he didn’t show the process of making the pie and the fact it kinda looked like shit was a little sus. Plus, where did you get the berries from? I really enjoyed the video though great work.

THIS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE PINNED!
i want an S-Tier showdown where you invite a chef from each state and have them all create their states food, best food wins!
I’d watch that
Wisconsin instantly wins, Our cheese is the absolute best there is hands down
I'd love to see Faidley's chef invited to make her crab cakes, someone literally had their ashes spread in her dining area.
@@17thshard62 wing stop isn’t it 😁
@@B1GW0RM46 My man did you finish the video? Wisconsin got demoted lmao
Can't emphasize how wrong the Cincinnati chili was 😭😭 it might have been Cincinnati chili on paper, but you need way more sauce and absolutely to either get it at skyline or make it yourself, the Greek-inspired spice blend doesn't make sense otherwise. You can also order it without the raw onion if you don't like it like that (but I might judge you if you do), and you also have the option of adding beans, hot sauce, and crackers. It's not a pasta dish. It's chili that happens to be served with a carb.
I like to add red onion, instead, for an extra kick.
And the cheese used is not the same as authentic
5 way or no way.
You should do this with european countries that would be freaking awsome! An hour project with the full spectrum would be so amazing.
Yes, please!
careful, this might gonna cause WW3 💀
What a fantastic idea! Please do it Josh!!
i know for a fact almost that my country would get screwed unless they chose one dish from here Lohikeitto which is like creamy salmon soup from finland everything tastes good here in my opinion i just think the soup would be best for the american palette
Italy would easily win
Joshua is banned from dining in Wisconsin until an apology is issued for calling cheese curds "chode mozzarella sticks" bc how dare you forget we make cheddar ones
Fried cheddar chodes😋
Don't forget pepperjack cheese curds. Those are the goat
you are right
Yeah, what the actual hell Josh?? You did it wrong. Banned. Not buying your cookbook until this is rectified.
I suspect the problem might be the quality of the cheese. I'm not from Wisconsin, but I've had curds made from the freshest, most delicious Wisconsin cheese, and they were AMAZING!!!
I really like this video as a non American. Many people say that the USA doesn't have a culture or a cuisine, but being a "foodie" myself, I wanted to believe differently and you have proved it to me. I have a new goal in this country, try as many of these dishes as I can, and talk about American food as a thing ☺️ Food is a great gateway to appreciate culture, and you have made me appreciate this country a bit more.
I applaud your ability to open your eyes to it, many assume we somehow have adopted no culture, when in fact we have mixes of several different ones in every state that mesh into its own breed of culture. People refuse to see it because we’re Americans.
Anyone who says this is incredibly ignorant. American culture is a huge conglomeration of cultures; did culture just die somewhere along the line?
As far as stereotypical "American" goes: what the hell is wrong with hamburgers, fried chicken, green salad, mashed potatoes or French fries, roasted turkey, chili, shrimp boil, cole slaw, or iced tea?
Come eat an Onion Burger in Oklahoma. I’ll take you to Sid’s Diner in El Reno, Oklahoma. God bless you, and God bless Oklahoma! 🔥 ♥️
People outside of the US are usually pretty negative and pretty much hateful towards the country. I don't pay attention to the haters, they're as ignorant as they think we are. Hypocritical I must say.
You're not a "foodie" if you think America is cultureless.
I'll accept the B for the NYC pizza because that is truly the essence of it, really. It's not supposed to be a god-tier culinary experience - it's supposed to be $1.50 a slice bought in a hole in the wall shop and eaten with one hand on the street.
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.
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.
New Orleans native here living in the cuisine wasteland of Denver, CO and I agree 100%
As a Louisiana native, I have to agree. I don't know that I've ever had them mixed. Seafood gumbo is top-tier for me though.
@@bpierc6I'm a chicken and sausage kinda guy normally. But yeah mixed was delicious but atypical.
Born and raised in LA, I've never had seafood gumbo. I've always had chicken and sausage. Will also say that I just won't order anything Cajun off a menu outside of that region of the south because it has never been correct for me. Locally made Cajun is difficult for a non-Cajun to replicate.
The fact that they ended choosing a burger after stating other items weren’t “special or revolutionary” is wild.
They also dogged on the next burger which was at least interesting with the green chilli's but no the plain burger with onions is somehow the best dish....
cant fix perfection baybee@@TheBGYeti
@@Captaindino123💯 😎
@sosleepy512 100%, a good chunk of these dishes are unable to be replicated in a home kitchen and were reflected as such in the video. The CT-style pizza rating was crazy to me. I've lived in more than enough states to know that nobody can do a New Haven pizza like CT or even MA. When the onion smash burger won and its almost-identical cousin wasn't even in the running, I chuckled.
they are a bunch of soy suckers!
That lobster roll you used for Maine is actually a Connecticut lobster roll. The Maine lobster roll is the cold lobster roll, made with mayonnaise. The hot lobster roll with melted butter is Connecticut.
They messed up a few things here. They allowed Arkansas to claim chocolate gravy and biscuits and that is an original Tennessee breakfast that likely started because of the Spanish trade in the Appalachian mountains. Also I disagree with some of the stuff they allowed to be voted so high and then some of the stuff they voted so low.
@@kristinlanders1481 this is youtube, not reddit.
I guess I'm going to Connecticut then lol. Who ruins lobster with mayo?
Yup I live in Bahston and that's exactly what I was thinking!
Agree - the warm, buttered lobster roll is a Connecticut thing. Go to Lobster Landing in Clinton for a good one. Why did they choose the bland, plain apizza (“ah-beetz”) for Connecticut? Ugh, my dad orders that all the time and rants about why pizza is better without mozzarella. It isn’t, it’s just bland. People not from Connecticut, I promise you that in New Haven, you can get apizza with mozzarella and the traditional toppings, too. And it’s good - way better than the bland kind. My favorite is Modern Apizza on State Street.
Never disrespect a philly cheesesteak like that again
They are super basic.
I'm from Pittsburgh. I don't like Philly Cheese steaks. I also don't like Philly.
i agree, philly cheesteaks are beautiful
As someone from Maine, I would like to add that we usually toast the rolls until golden brown and then coat them in butter for flavor and crispiness
I work at a restaurant that is built around lobster rolls. Untoasted buns are 🤢.
@@Cody-C300 I totally agree with you
As someone who lives in Oklahoma, it was so nice to see my state be #1 in something that wasn't related to teen pregnancy or meth.

As a Sconsie Cheese Curds are a side dish. Better choice
1) Walleye, pan or deep fried.
2) Friday night fishfry.
3) Brats. Simmered in beer and onions. Served with Kraut and a good horseradish mustard.
I would kill for walleye right now. Fried walleye is so good!❤
I’m happy you honored the salmon! I’m an Alaskan Native (Aleut tribe)! We eat our wild salmon all types of ways, pickled, dried, smoked, candied, baked, and fried ❤️ Glad you liked it! I just wish a more hearty salmon dish got voted.
What more hearty dish would you suggest?😊
…and I laughed when the guy said, “…even in America there are other smoked fish…”. Guess that memo that Alaska is part of America needs to be recirculated. Or maybe not! 😆
I love salmon, it’s so good, I usually have it in restaurants, and one time this one restaurant made it in bbq sauce which was arguably the best salmon I’ve ever had
@@mcelestebrown Baked salmon coated in Hawaiian coffee steak rub and potatoes. Or salmon head stew with salmon roe, it’s a delicacy!
@@sadbear420 I'm from British Columbia, and eating salmon from anywhere besides BC/Alaska just ain't right, a beautiful, beautiful animal that I will eat any part of any time.
as someone from CT, i legit shed a tear at the fact that you did a CT-style lobster roll for maine (ME dresses theirs in mayo chilled, it's great too!) and the fact that NH-style pizza is legit only something you can get good in new haven. other counties in CT can't even get that type of pizza right.
I was thinking the same thing! Missing the well seasoned pizza oven that only gets better with time! Lived in CT my whole life, I just moved out west to CO and I miss PIZZA!!!!
the new haven pizza should have had clams on it!
There are, literally, only like 3 pizza places that can get abeetz right. Whatever they cooked up for the video wasn't even pizza, let alone abeetz.
Fax all they did was cook normal pizza and called it New Haven style
Dude really thinks NY has better pizza then New Haven 🤣🤣🤣
"boring from a culinary standpoint" gave chocolate on bread an S💀
Bro are you telling me chocolate on bread is not a culinary masterpiece?
To be fair, they thought they were going to hate it, not like it.
A perfect chocolate sauce might be too strong, but spreading it out over a delicious flaky bun/biscuit is a type of French desert cuisine so... yeah it, and very many foods like it, are S tier on their own. For example, blueberry pancakes with maple syrup.
No salt
Taylor ha , CHS on toast mustard no extra salt
I'm from Georgia and as soon as I saw the plate I shouted "LEMON PEPPER WET, BABY! ATL in the house!"
S-Tier is damn right! Thank you for recognizing the greatness.
The Cuban Sandwich was a popular lunch among Cuban construction workers in Florida. It became really popular with the locals and the rest is history.
A good Cuban Sammie is one of my faves. The Gobbler is my top. Good crunchy bread like a baguette, turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, and gravy.
Any sandwich shop I go to I always get a Cuban first to decide if I come back another time
It was invented in Tampa fl
They really didn't have the right Cuban bread
@@reginaldleggon4040 They didn't do the most basic of research about the Cuban's history or makeup lol
Fun fact - the style of lobster roll you ate was actually a CT style roll. Maine style is the cold-mayo one.
I made rolls for a living for a while. Seeing what they did to it hurt me deeply.
Yeah they butchered CT. Soak that lobster in butter and throw in on a split top bun.
New Haven pizza is hard to replicate, those old ovens make a difference.
Thank you! I’m glad someone said it. I personally think New Haven pizza was average. Living in ct most of my life. The lobster roll should of been ours.
I lived in Maine and I prefer the cold mayo style. One of the restaurants I worked at used a tarragon citrus aioli and it was the BEST.
should have*@@jayc6743
I will never recover from the fact that chocolate biscuits ranked higher than Texas Brisket
Or the fact that he chose brisket over chicken fried steak. I mean, I guess that's what outsiders would think, but here in Texas, chicken fried steak is everywhere compared to brisket. Even places that are famous for bbq still sell chicken fried steak.
@@Rcurry86yeah I agree both are delicious but I think bbq and brisket better represent Texas
@@Rcurry86arent both of those prevalent here?
LETS GOOOOO
Y'all stole the words from my mouth. I don't understand. I guess they needed sauce. I like chicken fried, but brisket was the right choice to be represented.
As a New Jerseyan, the secret to a good pork roll sandwich is to cook the pork roll well done, where it becomes almost crispy. Helps with the texture.
As a New Jerseyan, the secret to good Taylor Ham Sandwich is to sub Taylor Ham for Bacon, and just make a better breakfast sandwich. Especially if you're going to be using higher quality ingredients and making less of a fast-food style breakfast sandwich. High quality bacon is going to just be better then any taylor ham/pork roll you can buy.
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. 🐷
NC born and raised. For every 10 BBQ places there is only 1 that doesn't suck. Only a small handful of places across the state which do it the right way.
I’m just impressed at the amount of cooking and eating this required. I kind of hope it was spread out over like a week.
Totally, I started feeling vicariously full and miserable haha.

As someone from the lower peninsula of Michigan, I have never seen or heard of a Pasty ( The food ) before, down in the lower peninsula I would say 100% our food is just coney dogs, the fun part of Michigan Coney dogs is our Coney sauce is made from Beef Heart traditionally and anyone who has tried both normal coneys and Michigan Coney's can tell you, Michigan ones are something different which is why we have a million places that say " Best Coney in the state. " From this or that year.
And funfact, the lower peninsula has A HIGHER POPULATION than the upper peninsula.
I've seen a few places in the lower peninsula sell these - especially in the upper metro-Detroit area (Troy, Utica, etc.). Check the gourmet delis!
Am I from America? No. Did I still watch this whole thing with the same interest as someone who is from America? Yes, absolutely. Great video 👍
From America, lived in several states in most regions...this video is wack
@@sk1dr0wagreed, I agree with the Maine one but Rhode Island favorite is clam cakes with a side of New England clam chowder. I’m European but I have visited family in New England mainly Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts. Fried Calamari is not really a go to for Rhode Islanders. Hell they would refer stuffies instead behind clam cakes and that is basically stuffed clam shell.
Me too. I voted every dish from the video alone, by sight, and agreed with the jury to an unexpected degree.

As a Marylander I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen “Maryland Style” crab cakes in other states and have been like “Nope. No. Uh Uh.” Our crab cakes are basically just lump crab, old bay and as little binder as humanly possible. Glad you guys loved them!
I wish to experience the real deal as a fan of crab cakes living on the opposite side of the country.
I feel the same way as someone from Louisiana any time I see anywhere else in the country try and recreate our dishes they’re terrible looking
As a Delawarean, I completely agree. If it isn't just 99% lump crab, old bay, and 1% binder, it isn't a crab cake!
Fr dude I’ve seen so many end up looking like there’s not even crab in there just straight up looks like a very poor made white/red vegan burger or something 😭. Like dude stop adding 50 different things to it, that’s not how yall make those 😭 ain’t Maryland style at all 😭
I guess I will need to try one someday because I've never had a crab cake I like. Crab legs are S+, but never liked the body meat.
As an Alaskan, I was wondering what you would choose. The smoked salmon spread was on point. I did not even realize how staple it is to all of us until you chose it. Everyone has their own family recipe. Yours reminds me of my dad's. Thank you for choosing so well and appreciating it.
I lived on the Island of Adak and was spoiled by the amazing fish… I am now forcing myself to eat more fish!
@@mdtaylor67 me too! That is where I grew up all my teenaged years.
I thought they were missing some capers in there
as someone from the upper peninsula of Michigan im so happy yall chose a pasty, literally so fire
i will add though its usually a softer crust towards the middle compared to the outside but i lowkey wanna try it how yall did it
As a born and raised Marylander who now lives in Texas, it warmed my lil watershed heart to see the reaction to our crab cake. Blue crabs are a big part of MD culture and its great to see it shine here 😁
Honorable mention to Old Bay
Fried soft-shelled blue crabs eaten whole while in their most vulnerable state is one of the tastiest things you can eat.

I'm just glad he didnt make a go at pit beef. Especially with texas bbq out there it starts getting compared to texas brisket and every marylander has to explain the high heat pit beef and to not try to serve pit beef like texas brisket
Is no one else floored by the fact that Arkansas made it to S tier!?!?! With CHOCOLATE COVERED BISCUITS?!?!?!
And over Texas brisket???
You just gotta try that chocolate gravy in the morning over a hot baked biscuit! It's surprisingly so good!
@@annc6150 It's a buttery flakey dough covered in rich chocolate sauce. How could it not be good? I've never even had it and it makes me salivate

I love it soo much, and I’m from Georgia, probably cause I have family there and I fell in love, I just love it with bacon
A well made crab cake is unreal. And when it’s fresh crab from the bay? Incomparable.

Especially if you put a but of mustard on top.
Burritos are better

You need to eat these foods in each state, cooked by someone other than yourself. Most of them would hit different, I guarantee.
right! the bias of him preparing them doesn't really make it a legit competition, even though its fun
@@GlowstoneWolfwouldn't it make it unbiased? Because he's preparing everything it makes it a controlled experiment.
Plus they picked some garbage for some of the states. Like New Jersey, that state is home a gillion Italian people, wtf, a spam sandwich. Not too sure about where they get their votes from.
Skyline chili is still trash. Salt and butter on spaghetti thrashes it
right!! i just know he did mississippi dirty with that fish
Same guy who said people in Connecticut should take the train to New York City for pizza said that New York style pizza is the worst form of pizza there is
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. Not to mention that their slices are massive and actually taste great. In the midwest, you'd pay 3x that for a slice half as good and half the size. And you'd wait for 30 minutes for it too.
@@shockerjasonNobody else in the US cares about pizza like that. Thats why it is never recognizable.

The problem with ranking funeral potatoes is that you haven’t had them made by a grandma that’s been making it their whole life. Nor my moms potatoes, hers are the best
Came here to say exactly this. They don’t know what good funeral potatoes are until you go to Utah and have a neighbor bring them to you when you move to their block.
They looked nothing like the funeral potatoes I've had
they have to actually go to these states and look for who makes these dishes the best and then rate. Almost all the ones they came are good, are simple basic food that's good anywhere
@@DELOS13 Yeah.
Maybe I have some bias being a Utahn, but I do genuinely think they / Josh just didn't make the funeral potatoes correctly. everyone in this thread is correct, you haven't had real Funeral Potatoes until you've had them made by a Utahn who has been making them for funerals, family reunions, etc. for decades.
2:12 the absolute disrespect to TAYLOR HAM first guy needs more love in his life.
Didn't even put salt pepper ketchup on it. 🤌
Yeah seriously PORK ROLL is the best sandwich we got here!!
The lobster roll for Maine was made Connecticut style. A Maine Lobster roll uses Mayo.
Ok, so I'm not going crazy.
This video made me unsubscribe. It just showed that this channel does no research and is just about pumping out content.
@@davidevans6103 my buddy and I talked a lot about this video recently. Long or short it starts off with the topic of "what is a good representation of the state and taste good".
By 1/3 of the way in it digresses to "how well can I cook the item that was voted on". Half the stuff that is voted highly is fried or barbecue; if you look at Jersey or Virginia he didn't even use the correct ingredients (Jersey is still trash but it deserves to earn that D on its own).
Did you see New Hampshire?! It was some grocery store, stale looking donuts and they moved on. Like tf?
Nott good, that lobster roll ain't right bub
CT style better
As a Marylander, who is already so proud of our flag and food, I started tearing up when I saw the beautiful Maryland Crabcake make it to the S tier.
Exactlyyyy
Truly. It was either that or a pit beef sandwich and I wasn’t disappointed.
@@TripleBarbacoa I do love me some Chaps, but i mean, c'mon. We''re known for crabcakes, lol.
No joke, it's so easy to mess it up if you don't know the tricks! Shows his cooking skills too!
Yall just need more crab meat in your crab cakes! It would go from S to S+. Less filler and fresh crab is the key!
And my experience is limited to ordering crab cakes at about 5-7 places in Maryland, so it's not like I live there.
I think there’s a huge difference from making it yourself to having the locals make it
Some yankee making gumbo is not the same as your mamaw making it.......
All day this. People take pride in their local dishes. You can taste that pride in the finished product. Not too mention they've made so many of them they have little tricks here and there that make it better.
You can give 5 people the same recipe and get 5 drastically different dishes

@@georgal00yeah I know it’s a fucking disaster of a cheesesteak.
After watching the American v English breakfast, I have to agree: English people NEVER make their beans, they buy canned. It would be like doing a Pacific Islander recipe and home-making Spam - that's NOT the actual meal.
I’m glad Massachusetts got the recognition we deserve to have clam chowder as S tier warms my soul
As someone who grew up and still lives in Utah, we were misrepresented. Funeral potatoes are one of my favorite foods, and I recommend trying it. Clearly not for everyone, as seen in the video, but almost everyone I know can agree that funeral potatoes are one of the best dishes for events like Thanksgiving or Christmas
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.
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. To me it looked like they didn't have enough cheese, and didn't bake it long enough. Plus you're supposed to put the corn flakes on at the end when the potatoes are mostly done.
Same, I have eaten tons of "funeral potatoes" living in Utah my entire life, and my reaction to seeing what he made was "WTF are those?!" Seriously, @joshuaweissman, if you want an actual recipe for funeral potatoes, let me know and I'll hook you up with a family recipe.
best part about a funeral and thanksgiving ngl also i’ve never seen anyone put corn flakes ontop
Funeral potatoes are right up there with beans on toast, vegamite, scrapple and Taylor ham.
As an Alaskan, I am so incredibly proud to see Smoked Salmon dip was our dish of choice and that we made S tier.
Same, literally reminded me of my childhood and family gatherings.
finally alaska getting its flowers lol and to be fair smoked salmon dip really is s tier
Me to I grew up eating it and making my own
yes although personally I think smoked salmon dip should be primarily smoked salmon and taste like smoked salmon, not pure cream cheese
Absolutely stoked to see salmon dip as the dish. And the amazing thing is you can totally add in whatever you’d like to make it your own. Though all the ones I’ve tried has always followed relatively the same recipe shown here, my family have their own alternations, maybe some diced jalapeños , smoked salmon, some fresh yellow peppers can be a fun addition as well!
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 👌
ill have to look this up, as someone who knows 3 Hawaiians, its all about spam musubi which me as a midwestern really appreciates spam now for what it can truly become! either way, love it!
Sooo good🤤🤤
Loco moco was amazing when I had it. Poke is also a good choice
I would give it A tier I think the manapua man noodles, pork hash and chicken deserves sum attention. Very underrated
@@jacobmoux5235Spicy Ahi and Kim Chee Fried Rice Spam Musubi are S Tier no cap.
For New Mexico you have to use the NM Hatch Green Chili bc its an entirely diff experience! we roast them, peel them and chop them then use on everything;)
A Mainer here, you tried a connecticut roll. A Maine lobster roll is served with the lobster meat chilled and dressed in mayo with some crunchy greens like chives, celery, and/or scallions. A Connecticut lobster roll is served warm, dunked in butter, on a toasted bun.
This so true. CT and RI rolls r way different than a Maine. Not mention the New Haven CT pizza was made in some electronic oven😂 not even close to what it should be. Disgrace
100% and then they go and make a shitty New Haven Pizza. CT got screwed big time
@@OVSKnicksswear I’m triggered right now. couldn’t even be bothered to do their research obviously. And used a $50 electric oven probably from friggin Ikea. Not coal fired not 800 degrees . They just lost all their credibility for food will be unsubscribing now
Just came here to tell them they didn't have a Maine lobstah roll, what they had was a Connecticut roll. Totally different lobstah rolls.
And either way they cost way too much and taste way too little. Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada, where we produce some of the most prized lobster in the world. 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 someone from Louisiana, it is nice to see us on the top of a list that is something positive for once. 😁
At least we have good food going for us! 😂 I think we tend to be one of the more happy states as well, probably because of the food.
I live in Mississippi, and was thinking the same doggone thing! Thank God for catfish, right?
Well if they didn’t like our food, they would need to be committed.
But why didn’t he put more rice?
@@davidmandelstamm8725😂 watched just to see what we were gonna get destroyed for this time. Catfish saves the day
As someone from Maryland nothing made me happier than seeing the crab cake get an immediate S tier.
I travel to Baltimore several times a year and have to get crab cakes at least once sometimes more every time I go. That's an S tier for me as well.
Saved me trouble. My sentiment exactly lol born, raised, and still here.
Right?!! 🥹
Agreed
I live on Maryland's Eastern Shore so ... That said, I've had some poor excuses for crab cakes in places that you would think they'd be great. The best I've had are frequently found in places where the expectations weren't that high. But in any case, in my mind, you can't eat one without a slice of fully ripe tomato and an ice cold beer.
I’m from Baltimore, and grew up eating scrapple for breakfast. The key is to slice it thin, then flour the slices before frying. I know it’s an acquired taste. Scrapple, egg and cheese on toast with butter/jelly 🔥
Bawlmer!
We need a re-do where you visit each place for each dish. I've seen that suggestion put around, would be good.
Yes! Trust this Idahoan's opinion... what he made was NOT Idaho Finger Steaks & Fries. Nope not one bit.
Fr! He did Montana dirty and should have had our ENORMOUS cinnimon rolls with a touch of love instead of huckleberry pie
The fact that he did funeral potatoes so dirty right out of the gate, I totally agree. He needs them made by someone who isn’t just following a googled recipe. It should be one that has been in the family for a few generations, and made with love.
I just appreciate the sheer effort put into making this vid. Cooking 50 dishes is going above and beyond
Cooking, yes, but eating 50 dishes may be even worse!
Welp as a Utahn that was fast lOLL
Arizona native here- the Sonoran Dog is supposed to have pinto beans and diced tomato and onion as well. Shoutout Cam for the love though!
Cam knows whats up
Frrrrrr, they need to get an actual dawg from Tucson!
Yeah it didn’t have all the toppings! With the toppings easily at least an A, maybe high B.
mans broke my heart with that. didn’t even think to add green chili to it or beans. i was more upset that a navajo taco/fry bread didn’t make the list for AZ. that’s my favorite and the staple AZ food to me.
Seriously. Even a basic Sonoran Dog from El Guero Canelo in Tucson looks and tastes better than what Josh made. You need the local touch to really appreciate it.
I was not only named after the dish gumbo, I am a descendant of the man who created the legendary creole seasoning, Tony Chachere. I can say that my family recipe is a land gumbo but I appreciate a good land a sea one. Glad it got an S tier to say the least.
Not from Connecticut but I feel like they got a really raw deal here. Their pizza is legendary and the one made here did a really poor job representing it.
yeah you can't put a pizza in an oven and call it coal fired. go to sallys and tell me with a straight face thats D tier lol
I live in Connecticut and I agree 100%
New Haven pizza deserves a better version than they presented here---NY pizza was also less than properly made. Both the New Haven and NYC versions deserved better than you showed us.
That was an idiotic attempt at New Haven apizza. Sally's, Pepe's, and Modern look literally nothing like that.
Rhode Islander here who appreciates the hell out of New Haven style and this take was criminally wrong!
As a native born Oklahoman, it made me very happy to see how far up the board the fried onion burger made it. If you’re ever passing through central Oklahoma make sure to stop at either Sid’s Diner or Roberts!

@@SlikRikx I went to school at OSU!! We had plenty of meals there!!
Yes exactly! I was so proud to see us hit that #1 rank!! We know our food well here, that burger is a tip of the iceberg, here's hoping they visit and try some more local fare!
@@zachwarner6711 I did as well, always gotta go with the elm street cheese fries
Nic's @ 12th & Penn in OKC, Bunny's at 50th and Meridian and Okie Tonk Cafe on 19th street west of I-35 in Moore are also great, but you can't beat Sid's.
I think a fun idea for a follow-up video would be to reinvent the F-tier foods to try and make them S-tier

Edit #2: Wow wow, I did not expect this many upvotes! Y'all are amazing!
From Michigan as well, and I have NEVER heard of a pasty until this episode! I hope im not the only one...
Looks very similar to a Cornish pastie which I guess is it's inspiration

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.
Other Alaskan, I’d have rather seen some crab.
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.
OMG I was just about to say this
@@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
The most Northern state claiming southern hush puppies? Lol stop..
As someone who was born and raised in Idaho I am severely disappointed that it was not a potato based dish.
Ditto for the Pittsburgh half of PA... FYI a sandwich with pizza crust bread is called a Wedgie and all the Pennsylvanians that forget Philly even exists until hockey season comes around want our voices heard lol
And also go Sheetz and screw whatever a wa-wa is!
dude, i was born and raised here and to say the least i am pissed off that it wasn't one of our better dishes, like who tf is going to enjoy a well done steak finger.
most of these selections are pretty absurd - theyre just looking for people to comment
For real perogies woulda been better at that point.
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.
It looks so good and I’m excited to make it! Learned something new today
@@floodlime8620 its super easy to make as well! Im from ND and any time i see a restaurant has it i order it. i was actually surprised his had chicken in it, most people do not add a meat with potatoes and dumplings being the main filling portion of the soup
It’s such a comfort food, I was expecting our state to not be great because everything is kinda bland compared to other states but I’m glad that’s what won.
Also Ps the fact that you can buy it by the bucket at krolls is awesome
ok
Love this soup, if you're ever in Fargo, Krolls Diner has the best Knoephla soup
At 5:56, you are absolutely mistaken, sir - anyone and everyone raised in North Carolina is looking for pulled pork. The problem is in the Lexington style sauce chosen to douse that clearly dry (and possibly pre-frozen) pork. Go further east for a better sandwich.
100% agree that ain’t slow roasted hog. That dry frozen
Top with Texas Pete and Cole slaw
As an Oklahoman, I am BAFFLED that we won overall. I will say that a fried onion smash patty is damn good, especially with the right sauces. Tucker's Onion Burgers is a thing we have here, and this is their signature trademark, they're pretty good too!
Same here as well. Getting the over all win was awesome and a nice surprise. Love tuckers as well!
Sid's in El Reno or J&W in Chickasha make an OG onion burger. Tucker's is good, but those two are amazing.
I'm from Oklahoma, and I've never been to any of these restaurants. Looks like I need to go on a road trip and try them
A few years back i had a burger that might have been an an onion burger literally at a comic store called DZ Comics in Moore. I swear that thing was the best burger i ever had

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
THIS IS HUGE. can we get a redo T_T
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.
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.
New Mexico has the best food in the country... When I think New Mexico, I think Hatch green chili stew. That burger was a sad representation.
@@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.
25:59 don’t care, deep dish is Chicago
As an Arkansas native, yes the biscuits and chocolate gravy is the most accomplished thing that we have done this year 😂😂😂

As a West Virginian, if you look at the history behind the pepperoni rolls, they were not made to be a culinary revolution. They were made as cheap and easy meals for the coal miners that lived in poverty’s lunches. Now that they’re common among all West Virginian’s as our favorite school lunches and gas station snacks, they can be made with more flavor and delicious! I prefer to add garlic powder into my butter and top with parsley. Steph’s it up a notch or two. Loved the video and will always love this channel! Just wanted to show my home state some appreciation 💙💛
❤❤
I wish they introduced some culinary history alongside the dishes. It's clear some were created during times of hardship and it'd be interesting to learn the history of the dishes
Exactly. Like, the basic pepperoni roll is mid. It wasn’t made to taste good, it was made to feed you. As a blue collar worker, who was raised broke, they’re what I eat for lunch.
@@abysswicked9076...but it does taste good though. People have gotten too snobby and picky, and won't eat anything simple anymore without complaining. PB&J and a glass of milk. Plain mac and cheese. A plain ham (or your favorite cold cuts) sandwich with just your favorite condiment.
It's ridiculous. That sort of stuff was everyday lunch growing up. I still think that simple foods are still usually the best foods most of the time. Getting stuck with friends or family at a restaurant with nothing normal or simple on the menu just sucks.
my girlfriend is from there and the very first thing she made for me was that exactly. It was easy to make and easy on the wallet so they had a lot of it growing up!
As a New Mexican I gotta say--the type of green chile you use plays a big part on how good your burger is gonna be. The best type comes from Hatch.
Came here to say the same thing, Nothing like New Mexico Chile!
As a New Mexican, a green chile cheeseburger is the last thing I’m thinking when I talk “New Mexican cuisine”.
The only thing unique about New Mexican food is the chile.
@@justinchesakhonestly it sounds like something Red Robin would make for a promotion and get the chile totally wrong
As a life long New Mexican and only 30 minutes away form Hatch it also needs to be the correct variety of chile. You need a little bead of sweat running down your brow when you're finished. I would've voted for something other than a burger for NM tho.
You dropped the ball on New Hampshire, the puritan backroom, in Manchester NH is credited for inventing the chicken tender, their coconut chicken tender with their sauce is simply immaculate
I am not a Connecticut native, but New Haven pizza is incredible. I lived in New Britain for six months and ate pizza religiously while in Connecticut. Y’all are wild for that
Not to mention that they made a Connecticut-style lobster for Maine's dish (Maine lobster rolls are made with cold lobster salad) and ranked it much higher.
@@kayla644 I was thinking when I saw the video lobster roll or clam/mussel chowder might have made the cut. I was glad with New Haven pizza because it's my favorite, but then I realized it's not realistic to make at home.
Yes they made the CT lobster roll and their pizza looked terrible. They need to go to New Haven to have their minds blown.
They did the New Haven pizza dirty, looks like a pizza I could have gotten frozen at the grocery store rather than a New Haven pie
I came looking for this comment. 🤣 I'm from CT and that pizza did NOT look right. Almost looked like some flat gluten free thing. They need to hit up Frank Pepes for sure
Something I noticed about many of the S tier foods (except for the soups) is that they are very simply made, not a ton of ingredients or a lot of fuss making them.
The Oklahoma onion burger was actually a depression era thing. The onions were added in order to use less meat per patty.
I’m from
Oklahoma and I’m happy to see it represented by an onion burger
I’m not from OK but I know about the depression era. My great grandmother, grandmother and mother went through it.
You are very correct about “filler,” but according to all my beautiful women in that time, it better have flavor!! Any dull filler just made a families night heartsick. Being of German descent, I was taught to make any item I served “flavorful.”
Can we get a BTS on how this video was stage managed? Like.. from recipe sourcing to ingredient ordering to mis en place to filming and all of that scheduling? And, then like.. editing and the voice over? This process is fascinating.
agreed, id be curious to know how many hours it took
As a native Texas, the fact that y’all ranked biscuits with chocolate sauce above smoked brisket truly saddens me.
As a native New Mexican, that canned green chile is weak, but as someone who's also lived in Oklahoma for 18 years, nothing slaps as hard as an onion smashburger. This gave me the idea to try green chile and onion smashburgers next time I make them. God-tier right there
I agree, if Hatch green chilies weren't used, then it should not be called NM green chili cheeseburger. And for me the use of mayo on a NM green chili cheeseburger is an abomination, use yellow mustard only(like Blake's lotaburger style).
@@jun.oshimaI literally said that.. who said mayo??? It's mustard only if you're being original. But how we didn't vote for green Chile chicken enchiladas is beyond me. And how Arizona didn't use the Navajo taco.. again baffled
Ohh but he used hatch chile in Colorados chile stew
I'm more offended cause Colorado wouldn't have gotten A if they minded their own business and didn't use new mexico hatch chile
If it didn't come from a 50 gunny sack, miss me with it. Bonus if it was roasted in a parking lot
I’m a Louisiana woman and gumbo is a staple. A lot of people either love our food or hate it. It’s very heavy and some people can’t handle the spice or heaviness. It’s hard to eat other states food bc it’s bland and light! 😂❤
you said it perfectly
same born and raised and your right a lot of people cant handle our food because we like that cajun and yeah i hate other states food because it taste like they literally just put salt and pepper nahhhh we need that spice
I live in Indiana and work with a woman who thinks black pepper is spicy! 🤦🏻♀️
I've always though gumbo is overrated, right up there with smoked brisket. It has one note, and that is filé.
I love gumbo but I honestly think crawfish etouffee is better
My Papaw was born and raised in Arkansas and his favorite breakfast was chocolate gravy and biscuits. It was a staple on our sunday mornings. Guy was born in 1940 and that was his childhood delicacy so damned if he didn't request it every sunday when he grew up. RIP Papaw, 2012
Curious why Arkansas claims it. it's all over the appalachian region southern states. Was a weekend breakfast my Grandma made in North Carolina.
@@your.opinion.sucks. because we have literally nothing else but a college football team people devote their lives to despite it usually being shit

Isn’t it basically just warm cake???
@@dustintacohands1107 I wouldn't call biscuits cake, and chocolate gravy has a certain texture to it
As a New Mexican, im thankful that New Mexico is at an A, i would give it an S because the green chili is in my blood, but an A is managable.
As a native Utahn, I was NOT surprised that they were represented with funeral potatoes. I've also had so many different kinds of the stuff that I'd rank anywhere from B to Never enrolled in school.
Better funeral potatoes than jello salad!
Oh my goodness that was my first thought🤣
We all know the first 5 people to get the potatoes are lucky. If you get it after that, you got soggy corn flakes
@@TheDanielGuy23jello salad is way better than funeral potatoes
Funeral potatoes are awesome but you have to get someone who knows how to make it because a lot of people think they know how make them and yes they are served at funerals
As a Georgian, I was originally wondering why lemon pepper wings were chosen to represent us. They're so common. Then I realized I think they're just common here, but they aren't as common in other parts of the US. You can go to pretty much any restaurant that serves chicken in Georgia and find some variation of lemon pepper chicken wings.
Yeah that one is odd, they weren't even first made there. I would have guessed peach cobbler or something but I would have chosen the Vidalia onion lol
as a life-long new-englander, they're definitely not that common here!
While lemon pepper wings werent invited in georgia , lemon pepper wet was .
As a fellow Georgian, I agree. I think there is too much good food to choose from.
Lemon pepper is my favorite wing flavor and I've had lemon pepper wings all over the country but only in Georgia, specifically Atlanta have I found lemon pepper wet available and imo it's much better than the dry ones you usually find elsewhere
Being an American growing up and living overseas most of my life, American food is very underrated, thank you for making this video. It is the perfect response to anyone who says the US only has burgers and fries or food from elsewhere.
Some foods like pies and biscuits you are used to, simply don't exist in most countries in these shapes and styles.
The issue, imo, as your Mexican neighbors POV. The US doesn't really promote or export these. The world mostly know the US for fast food like hamburgers because unfortunately that's what the US exports. There are many things I miss from the US but unfortunately for now I can only enjoy McDonald's like food. I would love to buy some US biscuits.
It’s because they want to get technical and say that all our dishes are imports from other countries, we just change them a little. But what do they expect from a country made of mainly immigrants?
I can't believe a basic burger won. Doesn't seem right.
This video was so fun! I’m from Norway, but I cook a lot! I have made a lot of food from all over the world, but haven’t really explored America even though I’ve been there several times. And people can say what they want, but there is so much good food from America! Most likely since people all over the world have lived there for generations! Melting together so much good food, creating recipes that’s absolutely unique!
I look forward to trying out these dishes❤
For the salmon grill it in general for the Washington experience. How do you like your grilled food items? Do the salmon like that and enjoy.
other thought Eastern Washington and Western Washington night and day there is no comparison betwixt them meaning climate and culture might be slightly different
as far as I am concerned Eastern Washington is a hot dry hell
Western Washington is a wet, verdant, and temperature-neutral paradise
You can’t recreate street tacos and an horchata you get from a street vendor late at night after a night of drinking in California. When the lady says “enjoy your food mijo” I feel a lot happier

I live in Seattle and I was racking my brain for what food I would pick for Washington State. I didn't even think of cedar plank salmon but as soon as you showed it I was like, "oh yeah, thats exactly what food would represent Washington." I literally have a pack of cedar planks in my cupboards right now.
Maybe wild salmon or geoduck.
it's almost like someone asked. Almost.
I guessed cedar plank steelhead w apple chutney. or an apple pie
lol i'm in olympia and had the same thought
as someone that visited: ya‘ll also really like fresh oysters
I love how illinois has 3 legit picks. The reason why italian beef got the pick is because of the giardiniera. It really makes a beef unique.

As an Okie, I was so happy to see us get a W! We never get good rankings on these things 🥺
I'll be in OKC this weekend, may need a Johnny's Onion Burger (El Reno)
I was really impressed!!
As a fellow Okie, I'm happy but not surprised. Onion burgers absolutely slam. Best burger I've ever had was a fried onion bison burger at The Garage in Moore.
Am an Oklahoman too, we didn't deserve this. It's just a fucking burger
On one hand- its just a smash burger with onions and Chicago got robbed!
On the other hand, Illinois is more than Chicago- (even though the Chicago Metro area contains 3/4ths of the population)
And you know what, Oklahoma needs more love.
Stull don't know how you all got a basketball team 😂
Musubi nerd here. If you don't have a sushi/musubi mold, you can use the can of SPAM to mold the rice and SPAM either via plastic wrap inside the can or use the nori (seaweed) wrap. The more you know! 😆
As an Oklahoma native, I'm shocked and humbled at the S. I think there's something however uniquely American about it and how it was made and why. Using beef as flat as possible and as many onions as possible simply because it's cheaper. Making something maybe halfway decent if you squint at it out of absolutely nothing is the Oklahoma way, so being ranked that highly is flattering. Next time ya'll are driving through, stop at a greasy spoon and have an onion burger and sit at the counter.
As a fellow Oklahoma native I think this is a great pick but I also think that chicken fried steak would’ve been a more traditional choice.
I think Indian taco comes in at 3rd for Oklahoma. Maybe it's more of an Eastern Oklahoma dish but still pretty good.
I think we are all surprised because we are so used to having smash burgers... I mean, I agree they are fantastic, I just think we are used to them.
Not only that, they came in first overall
I’m so happy when Oklahoma gets the love it deserves
As an Oregonian I gotta say the only thing with the marionberry pie is you were missing a key component, Tillamook icecream
🔥it's the best!
an essential part of the experience
Tillamook was good. But no longer!
@@Dogloki I could see that too, I just have to be inherently biased towards Marionberry anything.
It's the weed, beer and wine that makes the food taste amazing. Try eating some marionberry pie with vanilla ice cream after smoking a joint.
As an Alaskan I am SO HAPPY to see the salmon dip made it and was an S. It is pretty incredible I can’t lie
Same! ❤
Same, I was fuming when I saw a salmon fillet for Washington… the smoked salmon spread made up for it 😅
Actually, Oklahoma did reinvent the wheel with the fried onion burger. Burgers were burgers except the fried onion burger was invented not only during the Dust Bowl, but also the Great Depression was happening too. Meat was scarce and onions were easy to grow, so they used as little beef and as much onion to substitute. Here we are almost 100 years later still loving this burger.
I have never been more proud of my state Oklahoma in my entire life, I will share this video with my grandchildren one day. Truly, we are a beacon of culinary civilization.

As a born and raised New Hampshirite, Apple Cider Donuts slap when you're walking outside during a festival and you eat them hot. The crispy edge, the aroma of apples fills the air, and then sugar and cinnamon falling everywhere. This is a food item meant in making memories.
Connecticut also has incredible apple cider donuts, honestly the whole east coast does fall food incredibly well!
His apple cider donut was an embarrassment to apple cider donuts. When he pulled off part of it like it was stale or store-bought? Absolutely disgusting. They should be crisp but moist and eaten within 5 minutes of being made. This is the way of the shire.
Agreed, except Illinoisan here and we have local apple farms that you can go to during the fall and get them fresh. They're so god damn good fresh.
...best eaten out of a greasy paper bag
They’re definitely from Texas 😊
as a local from Oregon, I couldn't agree more. I grew up on a marionberry farm and spent my childhood every summer picking fresh berries. my grandma would make fresh pies and food out of marion berries
I think it should've been rated higher, if you make the marionberry filling right its AMAZING. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and its gotta be at least a high B low A. I'm also an Oregonian so I'm biased.
I watched another cooking channel over the holidays, and the girl gave her mother some of those berries. I I had never heard of them, and I've been around a long time 😅. What do they taste like? When she showed them on there they looked like blackberries.
@@GabriellaTifainethey’re basically just blackberries. Oregon native btw
@@DirtLord420 Oh, okay. Well I always learn something in the comments. 😄
I’m from Oregon and I love marionberry’s. When I moved away there wasn’t anything quite like that taste. Maybe it’s because I grew up on it. But the fact that he didn’t show the process of making the pie and the fact it kinda looked like shit was a little sus. Plus, where did you get the berries from? I really enjoyed the video though great work.
Ok as a Delawarean I know that scrapple is scrap... But I believe that our claim to currently fame is our salt water Taffy
