An Atlas of Food Facts & Recipes from Every State!
|

|
|
---|---|---|---|
Eating in KentuckyIn Kentucky, it’s all about the B’s: bluegrass, barbecue, and the famous whiskey known as bourbon. You have to be an adult to drink bourbon, but it’s baked into lots of kid-friendly desserts, from cakes to pies. |
Oven-Fried ChickenDeep-frying can be messy, but oven “frying” is much simpler and safer. This recipe makes use of an easy brine (or bath) to lock in the moisture, resulting in the most tender, flavorful chicken. It may seem like a long time to wait, but try it once and you’ll see why it’s worth it. |
Eating in MassachusettsMassachusetts has almost 200 miles of coastline, so locals have always feasted on seafood—especially clams. In fact, natives have eaten this mollusk for more than 2,000 years! |
Chocolate Chip CookiesChocolate chip cookies were invented by accident in the 1930s, when Ruth Wakefield, the cook at the Toll House Inn in the town of Whitman, tried to make chocolate cookies by adding chopped chocolate chunks to her dough. Instead of melting, the chips kept their shape, and America’s favorite cookie was born! This recipe is a variation on the classic. |
Eating in New York

---|---|---|---|
Eating in New YorkNew York State is mostly beautiful farmland, including dairies, orchards, and more fields of cabbage than any other state. But when you say “New York,” few people think of cabbage. They think of New York City! |
Quick-Pickled CucumbersIn the 1800s, there were so many pickle barrels and pushcarts in New York City that maybe it should’ve been called the Big Pickle instead of the Big Apple. |
Eating in TexasNothing says “Texas” like the official state dish: a bowl of chili. While people in other parts of the country add everything from turkey to zucchini, there’s no messing with chili here: it’s beef and chile peppers. |
Potato, Egg, and Bacon Breakfast TacosTexans love tacos so much, they eat them for breakfast! People in Mexico have long topped tortillas with eggs; this recipe (especially popular in Central Texas and in Austin, the state capital) honors that tradition and adds a few American morning favorites. |
