We all have our favorites, and 'go to' foods that we love, and our friends at Thrillist have come up with some fantastic suggestions for the 'Best Thing to Eat' in every state. Some are obvious - like Gumbo in Louisiana, and a Hot Brown in Kentucky, but some are more subtle, but still representative of that region, like Hot Tamales in Mississippi or Shrimp Cocktail in Nevada - so famous in downtown Las Vegas! I've gotten such a lesson in what to look for in each of our beautiful states -  I can't wait to try Chicken Enchiladas, Christmas Style in New Mexico (Which means red AND green chiles on the savory dish), or Chili 5 Ways in Ohio, or even try my first Pitchfork Fondue in Wyoming! They all sound delicious, and so very American!

Check out the 'Best Thing' to eat in every state, and add in a few of your own, if you want!
