Which State has the best chow?
State of Chicago
>>21661142All of them when you are hungry.
>>21661142Probably California just because it has multiple mega-cities and produces the most agriculture, and it's tall and skinny so has access to multiple biomes.
>>21661179Florida is tall and skinny and has arguably better food
>>21661179I sure do love 30 dollar sliders in California.
>>21661198Florida has a lot of similar strengths I am now noticing. I think New York has the best food possibly of any city still though, and that California the best of any state if you were doing a big statewide trip.

>>21661204The question wasn't cheapest. Go on a vacation to west virginia and write a thread reviewing all the different diners then.
>>21661143>>21661179>>21661198>>21661204>they didn't say LouisianaCooklets need to get out more
>>21661142Iowa, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Arkansas, Ohio, and Indiana are the only states with shit food
>>21661161>>21661220fpbp
>>21661254>the DakotasI live in best dakota and don't think hotdish is all that great
MA has the Chow Mein sandwich. >The chow mein sandwich typically consists of a brown gravy-based chow mein mixture placed between halves of a hamburger-style bun, and is popular on Chinese-American restaurant menus throughout southeastern Massachusetts and parts of neighboring Rhode Island.[1] Originating in Fall River, Massachusetts, in the 1930s or 1940s,[2][3][4][5] the sandwich is not well known outside of a relatively small area of New England.
Florida. Miami has some of the best foods from around the world. And Orlando.
Mexico. It's like magic. I cross the border, and my soda no longer has corn syrup, my food no longer has carcinogenic dyes or additives, and an entire meal at a family restaurant is like $4 with no expectation to tip. And the hot latina waitresses will flirt with you.
>>21661458Mexico isn't a State, unless you count being in a State of decay lmao.
California or New York, any other answer is a meme >muh texas/southern bbq >muh Louisiana creole >muh 'go 'zaBlow it out your ass
>>21661465Imagine unironically thinking America is any better. Enjoy your red 40 and israel-approved corn syrup, chud.
It's Las Vegas because they have all the richest customersUsed to be Florida because of Disney world

>>21661539Why do some people get so upset at ketchup on a hotdog?
>>21661529No, it doesn't.
>>21662074Grow the fuck up asshole.
>>21661143FPBP gotta respect the 'go 'za
>>21661142It's florida. It's gonna be florida for a long time. The whole country loves to relocate here and bring their biz/cooking with them.
>>21661142Canada, LoL XDDDDD
>>21662104But why does it make you upset?
California and/or New York depending on your medium, Texas is a solid third. Per Capita New Jersey, Louisiana and Washington make solid arguments. Surprises can be found in New Mexico, Michigan and Connecticut. But Florida? Who is trolling here?
>>21662321>>21662074They're not white
>>21661142California, and I say this as someone who hates the state and especially the people in it. There's a wide array of cuisines, and the quality of meat and produce is unmatched anywhere in the country IMO.
>>21661207This 100%

You're not going to believe it, but Fargo North Dakota is the best food city in America. I didn't know it until I went there, and then the fact that my mom met Anthony Bourdain at a Starbucks there sort of clicked, that's what he was doing there, eating in a city he wouldn't tell you about on the TV. You want to pick a city where it gets so cold that the restaurants would have to serve you at least a thousand calories on a heaping plate, and realistically a good place that would give the same big rations year round. Even my favorite Mexican food restaurant in the U.S. has been in Fargo and I'm a Mexican from the Southwest. This no-skimping on food in Fargo isn't just a thing you run into at local restaurants either, I worked at more than one Dairy Queen and was told what ration of flavorings to limit it to and there were black chicks working at the Dairy Queen in Fargo who added enough flavoring to my MooLatte that it would have qualified as soul food. Only drawback is you really shouldn't eat the seafood in Fargo and need to remember that
>>21665439>no mention of burnt ends
>>21661142Obviously it's our 51st state: Canada.St. Hubert's chicken mogs everything else.Swiss Chalet fags can fuck right off!

>>21661142Whichever one I'm currently cooking in.
>>21661458Sure thing, Jose.
>>21665412You would be surprised, Arizona is a place with a lot of independent restaurants that you wouldn't see franchised all over the place and they're pretty unilaterally amazing, and it's in between Texas and L.A. and right by Vegas the buffet capital of the world. I'm not the guy who posted that it's a sleeper but that seems like a good way of describing their vibrant food culture that you don't really see them trying to spread everywhere
>>21661465Mexico has states. Sonora, Baja, Mexico City and Jalisco all easily would fall into the top 10 if you took all the states of all the countries in North America.
>>21665550Arizona gets the Sonoran bleedover too (figuratively and a bit literally) that being said buffet culture is fat people shit and unlike California and Sonora it's not exactly got any good seafood hubs. It's surrounded by original but it is itself just empty and soulless. Even Utah's weird soda fountain shit is more original than anything in Phoenix or Flagstaff.You are good at unhinged centrist Republicans McCain and Goldwater are my favorite loser presidential candidates
>>21665612Does OP's map show Mexican states, or does it only show US states?
>>21665616Buffets are for fat people? You're blowing my mind right now. Obviously that detail was meant to point out how easily that region can get good food on a very active freeway. You seem bitter about Arizona, I'm sure there is a nice soda fountain or something in Utah, it is a nice place but its restaurants are very average in quality compared to the valley of the sun area in Arizona. I'm sure you think you can get better food in Sonora though so I will let you have your opinion
>>21661142New York, California, Texas, Chicago, Florida in that order. Generally the more ethically diverse (real diversity, different nationalities, not just blacks) a place is, the higher quality and varied the cuisine will be. These states are home to the cities with the most diverse populations in the US and it's apparent from the quality, availability, and variety of food. Other states have great monoculture cuisine, but struggle to put out top tier food outside of that single culture.
>>21661142Chowhio
Southwestern PennsylvaniaEat N Park cannot be beaten
>>21661198Hahahahahaha
>>21661142Basically the eastern half of the country, with the cutoff point being the Colorado border more or less. Everything in Colorado and to the west is trash tier food outside of super high end restaurants (I.e. there is good food in Las Vegas and LA but it's not the norm).Average hole in the wall place in Missouri, Pennsylvania, or even Vermont will blow a similar place in Colorado or California out of the water. Western USA has the shittiest food with the exception of New Mexico
>>21665860Ah that's horseshit, Denver chili on its own is a whole class of dishes, and that doesn't even begin to cover Vietnamese and authentic MexicanNebraska has steaks, New Mexico has New MexicanWyoming I can't make any excuses forMontana is full of rich people and they want good foodNevada, again, has Las Vegas, which is easily the best culinary city in the countryWashington and Oregon are Chinese food all-starsYou're basically saying states without fried chicken sold at gas stations is badGas station chicken can be pretty good, not gonna lie, but you're still using gas station chicken as a yardstick
>>21665860>Average hole in the wall place in Missouri, Pennsylvania, or even Vermont will blow a similar place in Colorado or California out of the water. Western USA has the shittiest food with the exception of New Mexico
>>21665860This dude is kinda right, I moved from MN to Missouri and its a literal shithole. Th Somalis will get MN there in no time tho. Basically and hearty American food that's gonna be great is from minnesota to parts of western new york and Pennsylvania. Anything south of Ohio state line is not in the Midwest golden belt.
>>21661179>Probably California just because it has multiple mega-cities and produces the most agricultureThis is such a cope, and deliberate misinformation. When people refer to California "agriculture" they're talking about wine, almonds, various fruits and some vegetables. That's it. They aren't talking about beef, or pork, or chickens, or wheat or grains. They aren't talking about milk or dairy. But yes, this is why fruit salads and organic vegetarian dishes came to prominence first in California instead of say, Texas. >>21665869>>21665878>>21665898Denver Chili? Foreign food? Outside of Las Vegas and the super high end restaurants in say LA or San Francisco, there really isn't great food out west. The west coast itself isn't extremely horrible, at least not nearly as bad as what you see in Colorado and Mountain States. The problem, in general, with food out west of the great plains, is that there really isn't much agriculture out there, and all the food has to be shipped from Midwestern farms hundreds of miles away. Californians don't know what fresh corn tastes like, for example. People in Colorado have never eaten a chicken that wasn't raised hundreds of miles away. It is primarily the lack of the availability of fresh foods that makes western food bland. Yes, in some more rural parts of the Pacific Northwest and California, you can find good farm to table restaurants with high quality, fresh food offerings. >>21665898>I moved from MN to Missouri and its a literal shithole.Kansas City has some of the best barbecue and beef in the world. Not to mention a plethora of delicious farm to table restaurants with all organic meat and vegetables grown at farms within a 30 mile radius of the city. If I had to guess I would say you likely moved to the St. Louis region, and you're basing your opinion off of STL staples like IMO's pizza (shitty but doesn't even cut itself) or toasted raviolis.
>>21665918have you never heard of a farmers market?
>>21665922Stop being a prickly little bitch
>>21661142>>21665918In summation, food out west, particularly in mountain states and desert states (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana) is usually really bad because it all has to be trucked in from hundreds and hundreds of miles away and it's not fresh. The best food in Colorado is basically considered to be slop in much of the Midwest, south, and eastern seaboard. An Anon in here tried to bring up Chili...that's literally slop.>>21665922>have you never heard of a farmers market?Yeah, most farmers markets suck dick. The biggest one in my city has a few rural farmers bringing in stuff to sell at high prices, but most of the vendors are just selling fruits and vegetables that the main grocery chains rejected. You can get like 6 tomatoes for a dollar but they'll be squishy and weird
>>21661179well then why don't you try Fat Burger from now on? You can get yourself a cheese and fries for $32.95, faggot
>>21665488what in heck is that
>>21666002Don't listen to this guy, he's a retarded coastie who has no idea where food is made
>>21665637New York [City] for pizzaCalifornia (from the Bay Area and south) for Mexican foodFor Asian foods, California has everyone beat and it's probably no contestCalifornia is highly regional though, while all the good food is centralized in NYC for New York
>>21665918What the fuck are you talking about?
>>21665918Kansas City is a surprisingly cool little city. Same with Salt Lake City
>>21666002Food doesn't cook right at elevation too. I made some Genovese in Breckenridge (9000ft elevation) and had to add a bunch of water because it was fully boiling at a simmer temperature on the stove
>>21666288New Mexico Hatch Green Chile and frozen custard
>Is the most superior state in you are pathNone others need apply
>>21661220i want a fat cajun wife to cook for me :(
>>21666747Yeah but NYC is comparable to most US states in terms of population and economy. As for Cali Mexican food... It's definitely good but not nearly as good as Californians like to claim. "Top tier" calimex is just regular Mexican food in Texas and the rest of the southwest. California shines for the same reason New York and Texas do - large population centers of foreigners. There's an abundance of authentic, quality cuisines from around the world. California acting like they're the only state with """authentic""" Mexican food is really just kind of pathetic. Like, who do they think cooks the Mexican food in the rest of the US? Vietnamese people? Lmao
>>21665486No one wants you here, JF
>>21666747>For Asian foods, California has everyone beat and it's probably no contestWashington has the best teriyaki and sushi in the country and it isn't even close
>>21667373How do you like the blacked city centers juxtaposed with the hyper rich gated communities? Is it a fun, livable dynamic?
>>21665918>They aren't talking about milk or dairyDairy cows get some of the most prime real estate in the State, coastal NorCal is full of them. It’s been a current bit of drama out in Marin actually, the state is trying to take that land from farmers who’ve owned it for 100+ years. I can think of five small batch craft cheesemakers within 50 miles of me. >wheat or grains Cheap bulk product doesn’t really matter for “cuisine”- you can just import it dried so why grow it locally? The fresh and interesting stuff is what makes for cuisine. And California has excellent climates for fresh and interesting stuff. Besides there are plenty of hippies with their vanity businesses growing ancient grains and niche corn and shit like that lol>beef or pork or chickensWe have a few retarded laws about meat actually, under the guise of “animal welfare” that essentially means a lot of it HAS to be domestically produces. Also, seafood is huge all up the coast. This state has a lot of problems but the food is at least high tier. I’d argue anyone can find something they’ll love. Cheap greasy burgers up to 3* Michelin meals
>>21667940>Vermont>black peopleI don't think you know anything about Vermont or probably New England at all
>move from Massachusetts to New Mexico>live the freedom>no good pizza or delisFeels bad man. I feel like a few good places pizza places that serve good pizza would wollap the competition. Fuck Dion's. I found a good place serving NY style pizza and calzones, great pizza. The reviews are like 1 out of 5. Like, wtf. Sloppa from NYC and it's greasy flavor, NM can't hold a candle
Texas has the best food IMO. The BBQ alone would put it into the top tier but the mexican food puts it into a category of its own.
>>21667574Lol show me some texmex that isn't bastardized bullshit covered in cheese. California has the best mexican food in the country, as well as the best Vietnamese food. It isn't even close
>>21667937Chicken teriyaki boy!
>>21665652
>>21661142Washington for the Pacific Northwest and West Coast in general.
>>21669098full retard take. California has the worst mexican food. The best is New Mexico, then texas, then arizon, then california. Fucking black beans and weird feta cheese shit. Its garbage. Yellow cheese and flour tortillas mog corn tortillas and white cheese. pic related, that blessed slop
>>21661142If by chow you mean simple comfort food, probably the SW/Texas for Mexican. New Orleans for creole stuff. California sucks for outright decent wholesome food that tastes good. It’s either pretentious stuff that, albeit is amazing flavor wise, isn’t worth the cost of admission unless money is no object and its basic peasant stuff is horrible. NY City on the other hand is pretty good.
>>21669001I specifically said city centers, even fucking Maine has blacks in the cities
>>21661142When you said "chow" did you mean the breed of dog because we don't even eat that here in the states.
