this was making the rounds on twitter today:

so I need to know what Kentucky Hot Browns are and what a Minnesota Hot Dish is...

and also, South Dakota, what on earth is a chislic

(I think the Nebraska and Kansas pictures are swapped... or the descriptions are...)

They did a really good job. At least, with the states I'm familiar with. Dry-Rub ribs are the only thing I miss about Memphis.

Can't help with Kentucky (sad since I live less than 45 min away) but a Hotdish is just another name for a casserole or casserole-type stuff. I only know this bcz I read a mystery writer and her stories take place in MN and the books are based around cooking. 

As far as Ohio is concerned...buckeyes are NOT as popular as that infographic says they are.

Ok Wiki says this about the Kentucky food "The Hot Brown is an open-faced sandwich of turkey and bacon, covered in Mornay sauce and baked or broiled until the bread is crisp and the sauce begins to brown. Many Hot Browns also include ham with the turkey, and either pimentos or tomatoes over the sauce, and imitation Hot Browns sometimes substitute a commercial cheese sauce instead of the Mornay."

I am sure if I asked the Kentuckians in my office they may have heard of it...but most will talk to you about the whiskey.

Some of these are very accurate! 

But I don't know if I would have chosen key lime pie for FL.  I am thinking stone crabs, oysters, Cuban sandwich or something.

Salmon candy 

it's like smoked salmon jerky with a syrup-y coating... more savory than sweet... I didn't know it was unusual!
