Ranking State Foods

On our trip we have been learning all about local Rhode Island foods. However, every state has a wealth of local options, and many people insist that their state’s food is absolutely the best. Deadspin recently made a non-scientific ranking of the top state foods in order from best to worst. Chicago’s deep dish pizza won the top spot for Illinois (followed by South Carolina’s shrimp and grits) – which we can’t argue with – though the irreverent list has certainly garnered some controversy.  What do you think about your state food’s ranking?
