I found this quite fascinating and some really surprised me. It shows white meat in the north, red meat in the south, seafood in non-coastal states, and some real niche foods like egg burger, paneer and rice balls. Ace! Did your state match up to what you expected?

Yeah I thought Maryland would be more of seafood like crabs instead of chicken noodle soup
