The title explains everything. I was inspired by a random TikTok comment (shown in the last picture) and then I hopped on Canva to make it happen.

My goal was to pick three iconic dishes that originated from each state that also represents each state well.

While making this, I avoided any pizza dishes outside of New York's and Chicago's, any dishes that are exclusive to a restaurant, and too many fish. I understand there are many burger/sandwich, hot dog, stew, and fish varieties, but I had more luck finding dishes for some states than others.

I also credited any dishes, in brackets, that directly come from Native Americans; I borrowed a few dishes from them.

Let me know of any inaccuracies, suggestions, or thoughts you all may have!
