Let's be real for a moment. Every state in our country has a unique flavor. As FourSquare points out as a country we range from Chicken Cheesesteak to Chinese Chicken Salad. Foursquare analyzed the data to pinpoint which foods are the most popular in each state. This list was gathered end of 2015, and has been a roaming list on-going. So already this seems sketchy considering FourSquare really isn't a big social media network anymore.

3,143% more than any other state.

In the state known for pizza, sandwiches, riggies, salt potato's, buffalo wings, turkey joints......we chose avocado toast. Honestly, this author thought avocado toast was just a joke to pick on Millennials.
