What state has the best cuisine? I love my Texmex , but I'll fuck with a Chicago hot dog or a deep dish whenever I can

florida is not a melting pot, its a cesspool

I don't think any one state can hold that title, each has their own specialty that is actually pretty good.

Florida's seafood is inferior to South Carolina's though. They can't even make hush puppies right. Their conch fritters are the bomb though.

I can agree with that. SC has superior seafood.

Arizona cuisine GOAT

:(

It's obviously the upper Midwest and their signature getting drunk while eating brats and fried cheese.

SC is one of the best when it come to food, but NC is a little better BBQ I think.

ND/MN/SD/WI

Butter and cream and cheese and butter and cream and cheese and butter and cream and cheese and butter and cream and cheese etc

Chicago too, the hotdogs and Italian beef are too good, also the brauhaus

As an NC resident I am inclined to agree, but I haven't exactly traveled the nation and tried every kind of BBQ.

If you're into it I can butter cream on your face.

Churn it user... churn it

>provel cheese
most disgusting thing I've put in my mouth and keep in mind I have eaten your mom's pussy

...

>toasted
Isn't it breaded and fried?

Any and all. If you within 25 miles of civilization anywhere here and can't find good grub, kill yourself.

yeah I dunno what that "native" is on about, that's just what they call them

Of course, but he was asking for the best you fucking mongoloid

Louisiana.

The United States is pretty fucking top tier in the world when it comes to cuisines, despite the shit it gets from non-Americans. Every region, county and metro area has at least one unique dish that has international recognition, and Americans are second to none when it comes to comfort food.

But Louisiana wins for me without question. It has so many distinct dishes, cooking methods, cultural rituals surrounding food, and ingredients you'll not find anywhere else. East/Southeast Texas comes damn close but I never once had a bad dining experience anywhere in Louisiana for the four years I lived there.

Side note, I was raised mostly in California and used to think like this . But that's just fucking wrong. Quality of food is greater than diversity of cuisines any day of the week, it's just easy to convince yourself otherwise when your local cultures have become so fucking blurred no one knows how to specialize in any one thing, to perfect it over generations.

I hate TexMex and any Midwest Mexican food. It is usually very bland.

You're confusing petri dishes for melting pots.

WA and TX because of Seattle and Houston. The above user is right though, LA is pretty hard to beat. NY just because of the amount of choice's. You will always find something somewhere on that urban jungle.

>live in sc
>don't care for most seafood
>losing taste for fried foods
is this why I don't have friends?

Chicago dogs are great. Chicago is good for gyros and Italian beef too. I'd have to say the best food is in the Southwest though. Chimichangas, carne asada, carnitas.

Georgia
>traditional southern
>seafood from coast and imported from the very near gulf
>nigga soul food
>amalgamation of all the best surrounding bbq styles

chicago has the best junk food in the world easy, and the best taco scene to be found outside of the southwest

new york has shit tier pizza and hot dogs, and even worse, those fucking halal mystery meat stands that are starting to spread into chicago

florida absolutely deserves an honorable mention for cuban, jamaican, tacos, seafood, etc

st. louis """""food""""" is a fucking joke. fuck provel. their baseball club is also quite gay

I'm gonna say LA probably has the best cuisine. Seafood, creole, southern. All of that shit is godly.

I feel sorry for you user, while those foods aren't everything, they are some of the best our state has to offer.

b-but id be your friend

You forgot the lean, nigga

Unironically Idaho. Moved here and the food everywhere is absolutely incredible. Suck it rest of the country.

I'll agree with this one. I'm a Bong but I used to live in Georgia. Savannah to be exact.

>Tons of beaners, so Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Mexican food like crazy. Real authentic stuff from all the illegals
>Loads of FOB gooks so there's Chinese/Vietnamese/Japanese/Korean everywhere
>Hood nigga soul food
>Good ol boy low country seafood
>BBQ of every style, and wacky Georgia BBQer's mixing the styles up
>Delicious Italian besides shitty Carrabbas and Olive Garden
>Publix and Publix subs without the insufferability of Florida
>Loads of local start up artisan and niche restaurants
>W A F F L E H O U S E

The rest of the planet cannot compete with Georgiafags in the food industry.

Where's the best taco you had in chicago?

T. Chicagoan whose largely ignored our taco offerings

chicago. illinois is irrelevant but chicago is prime

NEW JERSEY

Massachusetts

Oh my fucking god.
WANT
>despite the shit it gets from non-Americans
I dunno jack shit about American cuisine,but I suuure do love louisiana's hot sauces.

>W A F F L E H O U S E
Fuck yes. Damn good breakfast, and 3x as good when hungover. Might have to go to one sometime soon.

I am addicted to Texmex, fajitas are my favorite food

Louisiana you inbreds

Louisiana probably

It's probably the anime avatar my nigga

I have traveled all over the south. Includiing Louisiana NC, SC, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas

NC >The Best BBQ, while all the states had pretty good BBQ only SC and kinda Georgia could compete.

SC >The best sea food without the use of Cajun spices like Louisiana. Pretty good weed and acid too.

Georgia >Some of the best black people soul food/ traditional southern food there is. Also lean is really easy to get there as well as weed.

Florida >Honestly probably one of the worst places, still had great sea food and other things. I just had better else where. They did have the best drugs and easiest to find. out of all the states.

Louisiana > Id say my favorite southern state for food, amazing sea food with hella spices and hella soul food and normal southern food. Also mardi gras is lit as fuck, got some really good shrooms there.

Texas >Good bbq and Mexican along with texmex which is good but its just not my style. Also the states way to fucking big and its hard to find drugs!

Tennessee > Some great country food usually served by fucking yankees, hate the place, the rockys are nice but fuck that place and fuck country music. All the drugs I got from their were subpar.

Wow you typed all of that out like someone would give a fuck, faggot.

Louisiana and it's not even close.

Wow glad to know we have an expert opinion, I was starting to worry.

No please its ok, there's no need for your praise. Im just sharing my wealth of knowledge iv obtained though luck, friends and anime conventions.

>anime

As a floridian who hates seafood,
Our cuisine is one of the only things i hate about this place
Gator sasuge is pretty neat though

>doesn't realize in a number of southern states the penalty for possession of over 10g but less than 30g of marijuana carries a mandatory jail sentence of 1-5 years and acid or shrooms in any quantity 5 - 10.

Enjoy your new cellmate, Tyrone. He's been waiting for you.

They can only sentence you if they catch you with it, and that doesn't happen unless you're very unlucky or very stupid. Being white helps though, cops are a lot less suspicious of you. Bonus stealth if you dress preppy.

>Tennessee
>Rockies

Pick one you uneducated fuck.

No, I'm not. The amount of people that migrate to Florida for 6 months a year is staggering. The tourism is insane and guess what, every eatery panders to all of them. I can get a baguette and turn a corner and get a spit grilled Jamaican pork, turn another corner and get Greek braised octopus.

tl:dr you're an idiot.

Its mostly because of disney or miami(low tier hollywood)
Otherwise it's more refugees escaping south american shithole

Lol just about every drug he mentioned is illegal everywhere and weeds only legal in a little under half the country. Its just really easy to not be caught with acid or shrooms which dont smell.

Enjoy obeying the law cuck boy

different guy
when I was living down in Pilsen there were many options. I don't have much so my go-to place was the Casa Cafe by Western and Cermak, 99 cent chicken tacos
By quality, one of my favorites is Xoctli, small place, corner of Paulina and Cermak, my old block. BYOB and handmade tortillas. 5 Rabanitos, 18th and Wood, high-quality place, the owner/chef was a protege of Rick Bayless, but it's a bit pricier, not at all unreasonable. Try the cochinta pibil tacos. If I were taking someone from out of town to impress them with local eats, this is probably where I'd go.
I'm not very well-plugged-in but that's my basic recommendations for Pilsen.

I live in Bucktown/Logan Square now, haven't really tried too much in the neighborhood yet, but there's a lot of Cuban and Puerto Rican options around here. I know Logan Square has a big hispanic heritage but I'm a bit of a homebody. I hear La Pasadita is a big deal, never been, no clue where it is.

Jails and penetentiaries in the south are filled with you invincible kids. Don't believe me though, I just live here and subscribe to the weekly paper that lists the arrest blotter and the individual court adjudications. Fwiw, I support complete legalisation so we can stop this terrible drain on tax resources fighting windmills that will not diminish. But I was just letting you know, some areas of the country don't just slap your wrist.

I also live in the South, pretty much everyone I know does one drug or another and none of them have ever been to prison. I think I'll be okay with a couple grams of weed in my sock drawer, thanks for the concern though.

Im going to New Orleans in 2 weeks. What should I eat?

That's a rare and tasty tumblr dogs you got there

Start with the holy trinity of Cajun and Creole cuisine: 1. Gumbo 2. Jambalaya 3. an Etoufee of your choice, be it shrimp or crawdad.

Then branch out from there.

anything and everything
I swear it's fucking hard to have a bad meal there, at least it seemed to me. And I don't even eat seafood!

If you're not a pretentious douchebag, you'll find something unique in every state, and in every region of every state.

it reminded me of a beignet, which is on my list :^)

thanks breh

that's what I've heard. I never had seafood so I might just go all out

This guy is so full of shit
norml.org/laws

Do the blackened red fish and shrimp creole for your seafood fix.

For freshwater try to find a place that does a good seasoned fried cajun catfish with some slaw and hush puppies.

Boudin Balls
Blackened Redfish/Alligator
Gumbo (any kind, I like Duck + Sausage or Crawfish)
Crawfish Etoufee
Hush Puppies
Beignets
Bananas Foster
Anything with Mayhaw jelly
Find someone fishing on the side of the road in sketchy looking water, follow them home and eat whatever they give you

Once you're done with the above you can begin to explore deeper.

of course you will go to Cafe du Monde for your beignets, yes?

also, go to Jackson Square after dark and take pictures of all the kitties
they gather there when the gates are closed, from all over the city, to frolick and play, away from the prying eyes and filthy hands of the sweating masses.

New Orleans is a wonderful city.

That I've been to? Louisiana. Legit authentic Cajun is the greatest fucking thing I have ever eaten in my life. It's a real shame it's so hard to find anywhere else because it is an actual art to make. There is no such thing as "good Cajun".. its always either fucking amazing, or it's just absolute garbage. Probably why its not more popular because it's so hard to make and too many people have had crappy Cajun so there isn't a demand for it.
Thank fucking god I have an uncle who lives there and I get to have amazing Crawfish Étouffée stocked up in my freezer.

I would imagine that California would also be good just because you could find real Asian cuisine a lot easier?

NYC

Meme beignets bro. There's a better place across the square without the shit service and crowds.

Cochon butcher is the shit. Get whatever is on special from there.

it's fucking dead-center of the French Quarter of New Orleans, you're there for the crowds!
if I were really gonna play the devil's advocate hard, I'd say "poor service" is very French, and therefore part of the experience, but that's just me being silly.

still though, two weeks, I'm sure it's not the greatest beignet-and-cafe-au-lait spot in the world (not the greatest cafe du monde?) but if you come home and tell someone you were in NOLA, they're gonna ask if you went. what is he to say, "no"?

all this disregarding the fact that one of my earliest memories is eating beignets there in the rain, with a balloon animal, after adamantly refusing to eat them at first. somehow my 3 year old brain didn't expect fried-dough-covered-in-powdered-sugar to taste so good. I'm wiser now.

Michigan, all the Greek food.

Fellow Logan Square dweller here, check out L'Patron, it's near Fullerton and Hamlin. Everything there is well-built and prepared but not fancy or gimmicky, and their tortas are honestly the best I've ever had.

Bump

>Its mostly because of disney

Yeah, and? They're only responsible for one of the best restaurants in the entire state, no big deal.

Another vote for Louisiana

Just popping in, what are the best disney resteraunts?

I like Rose and Crown, Beaches n' Cream, D'Antonio's(sp) in the previously Disney Village. Looking to get reservations at Be Our Guest so I can get liquored up in the Magic Kingdom next home builder's convention in Orlando.

Louisiana and Texas.

Victoria & Alberts
Citricos
Flying Fish
Artist Point
Restaurant Marrakesh
Skipper Canteen
Boathouse
Morimoto Asia
Tiffins
Sanaa

I'll copy and paste your list to look in to, probably know a few of them but don't know names too much (recognized the Marrakesh Epcot one).

Care to spare an anecdote about your top three?

This user gets it.
Nola is my second favorite city on earth to eat in.

If you want to stray from Disney, go to Turtle Bay on Colonial and get the wings. Best wings I've ever had.

Any coastal state that respects sea food. But there is one distinction: Louisiana. I'm from the east coast so this is not sandbagging, but if there was one definitive American cuisine that not only stands apart from all the rest it would be this states.

>seafood
>not afraid of the heat
>rice, beans, grits too
>No-style bbq shrimp
>gumbo, jambalya
>etoufee

Phoenix resident here. Can confirm.

This should clear things up.

He posted it AGAIN

Morimoto Asia is #1 by far. Plus it's in Disney Springs so you don't need a ticket to get there.

You WILL need a reservation.

One vote here for Connecticut.

Meant for
