Alabama – Fried Green Tomatoes
Not just the title of the iconic film, fried green tomatoes really are an Alabamian specialty! Pick ‘em in October, before the first frost, while they’re still green and you’ll have the best tomatoes of your life!
New Jersey – Disco Fries
Basically a New Jersian version of poutine, disco fries are a NJ classic, found at all diners and dive bars. The fries are topped with a brown gravy and plenty of mozzarella cheese, making this dish an indulgent choice that always delivers.
Massachusetts – Clam Chowder
A northeastern (and now national) standard, clam chowder is a hearty, creamy soup that’s filled with plenty of clams and veggies, with nary a tomato in sight. Whatever you do, don’t get your New England chowder and your Manhattan chowder confused – the red stuff has no place here!
North Carolina – Pulled Pork
If there’s one thing that North Carolina’s known for, it’s its pulled pork. It doesn’t get more tender or flavorful than this stuff, and the secret is all in cooking it low and slow…sometimes for over 12 hours! If you haven’t had the pleasure of trying it yet, next time you’re there you should definitely grab a big serving of Carolina pulled pork!
Colorado – Denver Omelette
Denver omelettes at this point are so classic, you can find them on just about any menu across the country! Ham, bell pepper, onion and cheese, it doesn’t get much better than this breakfast staple!
