Okay, technically there are 52—we see you, D.C. and Puerto Rico. With some help from our friends at Goldbely, state tourism departments, and our network of travel editors and food fiends, we’ve compiled an (un)official list of the dishes that capture the hearts, souls, and (oh, yes) stomachs of these 50 states (plus D.C. and Puerto Rico), and where you should order them. Many are fried (so many); many are meaty. None save Alabama’s feature vegetables—and those tomatoes, we’d note, are fried. This is America, after all: home of chicken fried steak, toothache-inducing desserts, and so, so much butter.

She wholeheartedly believed that she innately didn’t understand business-related information, and clearly couldn’t succeed. She wholeheartedly believed that marketing was bad and always used as a manipulative ploy. Many of us do the same. Our stories just have different subjects. For instance, according to Swoboda, spouses may carry the story “I’m just not in love anymore,” making it that much harder to work on their marriage. New moms may carry the story “If I’m not always paying attention to my child, she’s missing out on my love,” losing themselves and their happiness. All of these are examples of limiting stories.
