12. Burgoo (Kentucky)
Kentucky's signature food, a whatever-you-got stew that never tastes the same twice, gets a million imaginary bonus points for its wonderful communal nature: People just bring whatever ingredients they can, and everybody puts what they've got into the stew, and out comes burgoo, and that is just f-----g beautiful, even though in reality probably 78 percent of its ingredients were scraped off I-64 with a snow shovel.
I'm taking it as a compliment either way. Burgoo is just too good to pass up, come on tailgate season. Other notable items to have made the list: 1. Chicago-style deep-dish pizza (Illinois) 11. Hot wieners (Rhode Island) 51. Being hit by a car 52. Cincinnati chili (Ohio), an explanation that should be saved for the article itself. Happy Sunday, y'all!
