As a TN girl I tried the Whataburger and the brisket and was yucked out by the meh and the nasty.. I love TN food, It is so much better than TX food. In fact the climate is better in TN, the food is better, the beer is better, the vodka is better, just everything tastes better and I don't burn up with the heat and pray for deciduous trees for shade. I don't look for shade that much in TN but hell in TX I try to find any way to keep from roasting. How is TX such a great state.. It is not life sustaining.

How can Texas not claim Whataburger as the best chain restaurant? She needs her Texas card revoked. Torchy’s is good but it hasn’t reached iconic status yet.
I object to the girl they got to represent Texas because she is clearly a Californian. Best Texas beverage, and she doesn't mention Dr. Pepper?! First made at the bottling plant in Dublin, Texas? There's a Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco! And Texas's chain restaurant being Torchy's? Um, hello, what about Whataburger? I know they got bought out by a bunch of Yankees from Chicago, but that was only a couple years ago and they still maintain a lot of their Texas heritage. Even if the quality of their burgers has dipped recently.
Torchy’s was definitely not a Texan’s answer. Blue Bell ice cream, brisket, corn dogs (invented in Texas), Whataburger, she doesn’t know anything about Texas.
@@Intrepid_Crusader1096 Houston maybe i wouldnt put San Antonio in that since its not a real reflection of Texas theres literally nothing southern about San Antonio they are much more South Western.

The girl from Tennessee is just young. She doesn't know the home grown restaurant chains. But, she's got heart and anyone hospitalized over moonshine is definitely Tennessee grown.😊
So you’re say that Whatabuger is not Texan? Texas is NOT TexMex, Whataburger is WAY more Texan than TexMex. Its just a Texan version of Mexican food. Not the most Texan thing here...
You beat me to it... insane she didn't say Whataburger, even if they sold out to Chicago... and I would def put Dr Pepper above Titos. If you don't irrationally, immediately claim Whataburger is the best Texas chain... are you even really Texan?
I got some TX brisket and thought it totally vile. Give me pulled pork with Sweet Baby Ray's and I'm thrilled. That brisket was crap..... if you find a used condom in the parking lot maybe don't buy the brisket. This is San Antonio foodie city, and this was touted as great but it was disgusting.
Have never gone near a sardine in my life. Born/raised in Mississippi. We've got fried catfish, riverside fish shacks, Ms Leatha's barbecue, lemon sours and Coca-Cola. But Ward's has the best buttery biscuits! He was right about them!
It really depends where in Mississippi. Up here near Tupelo doesn't have many catfish farms. But I get where your coming from, he should have said catfish.
@@taylorboys3791 im from the delta originally so plenty of fish there. I actually live in Tupelo now! Small world. We do still have fish houses over here..
Church’s chicken in Acadiana region should have had an honorable mention. Popeye’s I can agree on. There’s not many Cajun restaurants outside of Louisiana.
I had the most wonderful chicken in some sort of sauce that was awesome.. I have never been able to find it or repeat it, it was given as a gift so I have no idea who the maker of this was but it was fantastic. The best Thanksgiving chicken I ever had. All I know is it came from La.
Sad to hear that the guy from Florida didn't say key lime pie as greatest culinary contribution. Also, can they please find someone not from Austin to represent Texas. I moved here like 4 years ago and even I know that whataburger and Dr. Pepper are things most people would say are iconic here.
I’m from Austin, but I take no offense whatsoever. I’m a southern, grew up in a southern family, and I kind of agree. some people from Austin are kinda different than the whole state. Plus a lot of Californians are moving here and it getting kind of annoying.
I originally moved to Austin cause that's where my brother is but I left soon after because I didn't vibe with the place. From what I heard while I lived there in 2016 was that austin was awesome and weird and then the california people started moving there and changed the city.
As a born, bred, and raised Arkansan I can say SOYBEANS ARE NOT OUR MOST ICONIC FOOD. Queso, fried fish, blackberry cobbler, crockpot dishes....literally ANYTHING else besides soybeans.
That AR rep has to be from East AR if he is saying Soybeans...East AR is a different state! How about fried pickels! Idk and we are a beautiful combo of TX and Kansas City BBQ.
Yeah sonic is good but Braums is my first thought about Oklahoma. Other states have them but they have to be within a certain distance of OKC so it kinda makes Braums ours lol
Cracker Barrel out of Lebanon and Jack Daniels out of Lynchburg. Makes more sense than out of state companies or a seafood place like Joe's Crab Shack. Catfish I can understand, but crab?
@@ianbat7092 Whataburger(pronounced water-burger) is a burger chain localized in Texas ( a few outflyer exist) Burger good, fries great, onion rings are the best you can get at a FF joint. Shakes are so-so but drink sizes are outrageously large. the sweet and unsweet tea are supposed ot be great but I son't drink Tea anymore so can't speak to it.
OMG. So true. And McKinney is now California. Every person I met up there was from California and they all talk about how they have California money so they could buy a bigger house! And plant a Biden sign in front of it. Ugh.
Amanda Imes Dr. Pepper, Shiner, or even the frozen margarita would have been a better fit (in my opinion). As far as liquor goes, Balcones is pretty well known too.
I’d say Blue Bell, Dr Pepper, and pure brisket that fills me up. I used to like Whataburger, but everything went downhill after they were bought out by that Chicago firm
I was blown away that he didn't mention either of those. We need a do-over for a lot of his answers. He said any old Mexican place as his fav place to eat? NC wasn't represented that well lol
Love that he called out Fish Camp Restuarant. It is iconic here on the coast. For the drink on the Gulf it's Whiskey Willies bloody Mary. Mix created by a local bar tender and makes the best bloody Mary I ever had. It sells in local stores and you won't regret buying a couble of bottles of mix. I keep a bottle on standby by for the morning after the crazy beach night. Brings you right out of your hangover and sets you up for a lazy breezy day on the beach. Then when you finally get enough sun and waves go in your condo shower and head out to fish camp for some authentic southern fish. When you done there take everybody for a walk in the sand. Grownups drinking and watching kids catch crabs. When the younguns are tiredget em up to bed tucked in tight cause the adult party starting.some of you guys insisting to drink beer while my girls and I stick to our bloody Mary's. Next night you goboutbto eat you havvvve to go to Bleus Burgers in Gulf Shores. The food is freaking awesome. I love the Alabama Gulf Coast. Best place to live!
Mmmm... I’ve gotten food poisoning every time I’ve are at Milos, I’ll only get their tea now. I’d say Jack’s more than Milos. Everything from their biscuits (heaven), chicken, burgers, shakes and pies. They originated in Homewood, too.
@@EtaryaFae I like Jacks. Food poisoning will put you in the hospital, so I doubt you were poisoned, much less on multiple occasions. I mean that’s a serious accusation. But I can see anything not sitting well with someone’s stomach. And yes, Jacks is great. They have good sausage biscuits.
@@JefferyHunt Yes, hospitalization. I was messed up for days each time, (not frequent) over a course of years. After around the 5th time I decided it wasn’t a coincidence and haven’t went back. Jack’s sausage biscuits are good, but I can’t eat pork anymore and found out that their steak biscuits are even better. If I’m going out for breakfast, I’m most likely getting that.
Arkansas is the rice captial of the US but gonna name soybean?????? I can't name one restaurant I've been to here that their specialty is tofu. The soybean grown around here is mainly used in animal feed. Besides AR is the birthplace of cheese dip. Time for soyboy to go back to where ever he came from, Get a real arky in his place.
@@user-neo71665 yarnell is an ice cream brand, I know braums is from Oklahoma but to me Arkansas is the last place to get Braums. Couldn’t think of any other chains here
But...but..what about NORTH LOUISIANA? We have the BEST fried catfish and steak up here...and fried green tomatoes...yum. And the first Coca cola bottleing plant...and ...Foxes Pizza chain...Johnny's Pizza chain... both started right here in northern Louisiana. As for iconic drink, that should be Louisiana's state coffee...COMMUNITY COFFEE brand. 😁 You forgettin' tobasco and Louisiana hot sauce? 🤪 She represented N'Orleans very well, but not the state.😁🥴🤪
@@1419onthebayou THIS!!!! Yes!!!!! North louisiana is always forgotten about, when people don't realize food is literally AMAZING there! Born and raised and moved to south LA to be so disappointed after the food had been hyped my whole life!!! Jim Bowie's in Enterprise, LA before it shut down was iconic as well! Not to mention one of the winners of Chopped, Cory Bahr opened two restaurant in Monroe LA, Cotton and Parish.
That 70s Lady Tabasco is southern Louisiana. I’m from Lake Charles- Im representing Southern Louisiana- not you Yankees way up there in “northern Louisiana” y’all really just part of Arkansas 😂 (not rlly lol)
Even a native Austenite would know Texas better than this. No native Texan answers Torchys. That’s hippy food. It’s not real Tex Mex. HTF did she not mention Dr. Pepper? Whataburger? Hell even Buccees is superior to Torchys.
Piney Woods of East Texas Girl, here, and I agree with your statement Colby Barnett! I've never even tried any foods/drinks in Austin. My choices for restaurants as a kid were DQ, Whataburger, a little local place called Ray's Drive In, Casa Ole, Cotton Patch Cafe, and Catfish King. Then the usual fast food chains and some other local places that I can't remember the names of now. Even being grown and living in Oklahoma now, I can still answer the questions about Texas food/drink better than the woman in the video. I can answer Oklahoma's food/drink questions better too, because I've learned a lot through my Okie husband. They need to just completely re-do this video.
Texas doesn’t get enough culinary credit. Obviously the BBQ, and chili our national dish. Most “Mexican” food in the USA and the world is actually TexMex, which is a subset Mexican food created by Texans and Tejanos. As far as drinks we got Dr Pepper and pretty much every frozen alcohol. Frozen margaritas? We need that to stay cool y’all.
@@maggie2sticks717 I’m not of drinking age 😂, and when I’m offered alcohol I’ll take tequila or scotch over beer. I’m sure I’ll develop more of a taste for beer when I’m older lol
Georgia on my mind.......grew up with a garden so gotta love veggie suppers: butterbeans, fried okra, sliced tomatoes, and cornbread.....don't overlook fried catfish and hushpuppies......and my favorite of all time: biscuits and tomato gravy....sooooooo good.
Oh yeah for Cheerwine! Our BBQ is the best too. I have been to TX and had their BBQ. It doesn't even come close to NC BBQ. My first job was working at a BBQ restaurant.
I mean, Cheerwine is what NC folks shout out, but Pepsi is one of the largest beverage companies out there. They own tons of subsidiaries like Taco Bell, KFC, Doritos, etc. Krispy Kreme might also need to be in consideration for tasty chain foods from the state, even if it’s just doughnuts, lol. And I think maybe he picked Golden Corral for “quantity over quality” reasons? Not my pick.
I about shat my pants when he said Golden Corral, I'm pretty sure most of NC would be doing the same hearing about that and SURELY NC has better restaurants than that. I'm not from NC, I'm from Texas but no respectable Texan would go to Golden Corral as their first option, or second or third.
I happen to be from Arkansas and I don't eat soybeans. I don't bar-b-que them, I don't fry them, I don't bake them. How could you even say that soybeans were the iconic food from Arkansas? You should've gotten different person from Arkansas.
Somebody commented that most soybeans are used for livestock feed , so everyone that eats farm raised meat eats soybeans second hand . A lot of vegetarians and vegans eat them first hand , and look at the results . I was stationed in Japan for a couple of years in my navy days , edamame and tofu are common fare in East Asia . I consumed them on occasion , but no longer , as unprocessed soy is very high in phytoestrogens , and I ain't no Soy Boi .
Braum's is Oklahoma's best chain restaurant! !! They do breakfast to ice cream and everything in between. They have their dairy, cattle, and farm operations that produce everything fresh. Sonic is good, but is nothing like Braum's.
I’m Aussie and even I would have said key lime pie for Florida. It’s classic enough that even I would say it and I don’t even know what it is really except it sounds awesome. LOL.
What about basically the entire Publix Delhi? As a Floridian some of my favorite foods have came from the Publix Delhi.Especially the subs and fried chicken.
He is right about the chicken fried steaks though. We are famous for that. And he's not wrong about Sonic either. But Sonic is really only good in Oklahoma. Because I've went to other states and they were nasty. But yeah he should have also included Braum's. Like it's pretty much only in Oklahoma.
@@thomasword9473 I agree he should have mentioned Braum's when he mentioned Sonic. Yes Sonic is one of our famous fast-food chains but so is braums. He could've also mentioned Daylight Donuts.
But Jack Daniel's is rubbish... yes, I said it!! (Sorry, but a half decent bourbon doesn't need charcoal filtering to make it "smoother") And honestly, as much as I enjoy a Moon Pie, it really is bland by itself and not heated up.
So, does the guy that represented Arkansas actually live in the state? It sounds like he hasn't been paying ANY attention to the culinary side of things. Food-wise, Arkansas is the literal birthplace of cheese dip. CHEESE DIP. Soy beans? For the love... Take more than a second to respond. Another taste treat that seems to stem from Arkansas is chocolate gravy and biscuits. Who doesn't like slightly thickened hot chocolate on a fluffy biscuit? Skippy peanut butter... Anyway, lets move to beverages. Ozarka water? IT ISN'T BOTTLED IN ARKANSAS. That is Texas water. How about world famous Mountain Valley Spring Water our of Hot Springs? Crystal Geyer water is bottle in Norman, Arkansas. Both far superior waters and it didn't take me a moment to recall them. There are SO many good places to eat, but I will stick with just one. The best place for steak in the state is, I believe, Taylor's in McGhee. Doe's Eat Place is also fantastic, but I give the edge to the dry-aged steaks at Taylor's. Next time there is a question about things related to Arkansas, can we vet who gets to answer them?
As a native born Arkansas, I fully support pulling our "representative's" Arkansan Card! Chocolate gravy and FRIED DILL PICKLES!!! (maybe not together, but they are real Arkansan foods along with the cheese dip. :) Let's see...Stoby's for the cheese dip, *cough cough* the _REAL_ Feltner's What-a-burger *ducks away from Texas* (mmm milk shakes), and AQ Chicken. It's good to see us represented properly at least in the comments.
While I concede that Tex-Mex should be tied for #1 food along with smoked brisket, Ranch Water was here choice for most iconic drink!?! Our Texas girl forgot about Shiner down in the Victoria area and Dr. Pepper in Waco. Bless her heart.
I agree. As a kid my daddy always had a few jars if moonshine in the freezer. Apple pie moonshine was the first thing I got drunk on. I grew up in Dolphin, va.. pretty close to Lynchburg.
I still strongly believe NC’s most iconic food is sweet potatoes, or anything flavored sweet potato. I mean, we are the sweet potato capital of North America....
I want a MS delta tamale not this mess in TX. I was disappointed and I tried the briset but hated it and the fries were limp. I was not impressed and spent most of the meal striking in the car over the vile food. I am not a native so I don't have a clue where to eat in SA but they keep it a secret for sure. I think TX overrates it's food. My family that lives there says the food is vile also... so they homecook. Can't find a good meal in TX means what? Either we aren't getting the right reviews on where to eat or TN is so wonderfully awesome and underrated. My homecooking exceeds TX.
The woman from Texas is a fool. For drink, how could she not say Dr Pepper? And for chain restaurant, Whataburger of course. I've never even heard of the place she mentioned, and I'm from San Antonio!
Being from Texas, I heard about the Publix sandwiches. How wonderful they are. So I was working in Atlanta a few years ago and there was a Publix not to far from my hotel. I tried one of their sandwiches, the chicken strip sandwich. Yes! Publix can brag about their sandwiches. By the time we were finishing up, on the way back from the job site we'd stop at Publix to get a sandwich for dinner that night and lunch the next day...
Okay Arkansas guy, you missed the boat. Catfish and hushpuppies, rice, barbeque, cheese dip, Sonic, sweet tea, etc... The best you could come up with is soybeans and TCBY?
Seriously....he is a yankee pretending to be southern....Pepsi based in NY is a yankee dream.....Get south of the Mason-Dixon Line and it is all about CHEERWINE & COKE-COLA!!!
@@scarletrobin I know pepsi started in new bern, nc or wherever but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. And everyone knows cheerwine is more known as a carolina beverage than pepsi is.
I wish they would had went more into Texas. Being my home state, I think the best things are probably Dr.Pepper (Waco, Texas) and overall just amazing BBQ
One of my cousins here in S.C. was married to an Arkansas girl and her family are rice farmers . I believe AR is the largest rice growing state , but South Carolina was the largest rice farming state for a long time .
@@victorwaddell6530 Yes. I live in the delta, and rice fields are everywhere. Riceland is in the town next to mine, Stuttgart. They consider themselves to be the "the rice (and duck) capital of the world." With that, I consider us to be the mosquito capital of the world 🤣 All that stagnant, standing water makes a perfect breeding ground for Satan's blood suckers. It's unbearable in July and August 😫 We do have TONS of soybean fields though. It's almost equal parts soybeans and rice nowadays.
@@arkiemomma9832 The first rice plantations in the US were in South Carolina before the Revolutionary War . It is said that the wealthy planters in S.C. made their wealth on rice , tea , and indigo . Unfortunately , the rice planters imported slaves from the rice fields of Africa due to their skills in rice cultivation . There is an historical account of a Brazilian ship carrying seed rice into Charleston harbor needing repairs . The ship had no hard currency and paid in rice seed . Thus began the South Carolina rice industry . Carolina Gold Seede Rice was the choicest of rices amongst the European nobility and wealthy merchants in the 18th Century . It exists today as a speciality food item . The tea growing industry is largely gone from North America , but the largest tea plantation in the US is located outside Charleston at about 300 acres . The indigo trade is long gone from South Carolina , as India can grow it cheaper . Modern dyes have mostly replaced indigo except for textile brands that still demand the true color . Our S.C. state flag was originally dyed with natural indigo , as were the blue coats of the Revolutionary War soldiers and he blue uniforms of the US military . Thanks , and sorry for the long comment .
I'm so sad the SC guy didn't say shrimp and grits...I was raised in SC, but live in NC now, and I do agree with the vinegar based BBQ for the NC food...BUT several states including SC in the south have their own sauces, so its just a southern thing in general.
lmao Florida man was the only one to answer correctly. “The food is so good at home why would you go to a chain restaurant?” His mama and his spouse won’t be on him after seeing this. I’ll pray for the rest of y’all. 😂
Dude from Arkansas why are you making us look so stupid? Ozarka water comes from Texas. Mt. Valley water the first water ever exported in the world is from Hot Springs AR. How could you possibly not know this?
South Carolina: Aside from Pimento cheese, we got red rice, she-crab soup, mustard BBQ, Frogmoore stew, shrimp & grits, and catfish stew. Also for chain restaurants I think a lot more people would recognize Sticky Fingers or Wild Wing Cafe than Hall's Chophouse.
Thank you for mentioning she-crab soup, shrimp & grits and catfish. I don't live in SC but I travel there a lot and love their food, which is a lot more than just pimento cheese.
My whole family is Texan (born there myself but didn’t get to stay very long) WTF is a Torchy’s? And no mention of Whattaburger or brisket? Or Big Red?
Blenheim Ginger Ale, Maurice Bessenger's Piggy Park , Shrimp and Grits , Low Country Boil / Frogmore Stew , The Beacon . There's a burger joint in Spartanburg named Ike's Corner Grill that makes awesome burgers and cuts their fries fresh before your eyes .
I remember as a baby (4 or so), that Mama fed me and herself for a quarter. I got a WHOLE hamburger for myself! While we were eating in the car, I could see across the bridge, the Holsum bread factory. Amazing what words and names will bring back to mind.
Ive heard that Buddy's BBQ was started in Seymour....only seen them in TN though so idk if it counts. but yes the gut bombs are great lol. Mtn dew was a regional drink before getting bought by pepsi in TN wasnt it?
Arkansas beverage should have been Mountain Valley Spring Water from Hot Springs National Park. The man from Arkansas seemed to know next to nothing about his state. Bless his heart.
It’s A Southern Thing. I will be the new Texas rep. This girl tried her best, but the great state of Texas deserves better. Bbq is what is best in Texas, our best drink Dr. Pepper or Shiner Bock, and the chain that represents Texas best is WHATABURGER. No if’s and’s or but’s.
The Texans in the comments are outraged and I'm glad I'm not the only one. No brisket, Dr Pepper, or Whataburger? Bless her heart.

Facts. Mississippi girl here and it should definitely be catfish!!
@@lavenderrivers6213 and chill cheese dogs!
Agreed. I've definitely seen a ton of sardines in my time, by catfish is way more iconic.
But not catfish nuggets
I'm mad my NC dude didn't even MENTION Bojangles or Cheerwine.
I'm from GA and mad on your behalf.
Cheerwine for the win!
he didnt mention Cookout or Krispy Kreme
Cheerwine is awful. Sundrop
How’s the “Texas” girl not going to say Shiner Bock or Dr. Pepper. C’mon!
Or Whataburger.!! "Torchy's Tacos" Sniff.
honestly she shouldn’t be representing Texas
I'd bet money she's from Austin.
I was thinking the same as y'all. Or even Rosa's Tortilla factory 🤤🤤.
She’s prolly an Austinite which doesn’t count. East California.
Yeah the hipster girl from Texas has no idea .
At least you didn't have the guy from Oklahoma. We are willing to work out a trade, because he is clueless as well.
Nope.... no idea....
@@DisturbedKhan lol
Omg,Texas lady really didn't mention WHATABURGER or Dr Pepper?!😟
I mean topo chico is good but its not even Texan I'm pretty sure its from Mexico. Hell I'd accept big red before topo chico.
Because Whataberger is vile.
to be fair though TO BE FAIR.....Whataburger isn’t really something to be proud of......
Mississippi didn’t say catfish. Sad. It is the catfish capital of the world.
Exactly. I was so disappointed.
Yes!! That's what I was gonna say. I was raised on a fish farm. My first job was working in our hatchery.
I was going to say the exact same thing.
It really depends where in Mississippi. Up here near Tupelo doesn't have many catfish farms. But I get where your coming from, he should have said catfish.
@@taylorboys3791 im from the delta originally so plenty of fish there. I actually live in Tupelo now! Small world. We do still have fish houses over here..
Cant believe the New Orleans woman didn’t say Popeyes and Raising Canes, both started in Louisiana.
Acme oyster is still good. Gumbo in the bread bowl (poopa bowl) is delicious!
That's what I was just thinking what about Raising Canes! That's one place I miss since I moved away from Louisiana!
Church’s chicken in Acadiana region should have had an honorable mention. Popeye’s I can agree on. There’s not many Cajun restaurants outside of Louisiana.
I had the most wonderful chicken in some sort of sauce that was awesome.. I have never been able to find it or repeat it, it was given as a gift so I have no idea who the maker of this was but it was fantastic. The best Thanksgiving chicken I ever had. All I know is it came from La.
So many restaurants in New Orleans!!! I’m screaming at the RUclips!!
Sad to hear that the guy from Florida didn't say key lime pie as greatest culinary contribution. Also, can they please find someone not from Austin to represent Texas. I moved here like 4 years ago and even I know that whataburger and Dr. Pepper are things most people would say are iconic here.
I’m from Austin, but I take no offense whatsoever. I’m a southern, grew up in a southern family, and I kind of agree. some people from Austin are kinda different than the whole state. Plus a lot of Californians are moving here and it getting kind of annoying.
Also they are VERY iconic
I originally moved to Austin cause that's where my brother is but I left soon after because I didn't vibe with the place. From what I heard while I lived there in 2016 was that austin was awesome and weird and then the california people started moving there and changed the city.
I thought he was going to say key lime pie also
@@raspberrycandy1778 sad but true. Same is happening with Dallas and Houston
As a born, bred, and raised Arkansan I can say SOYBEANS ARE NOT OUR MOST ICONIC FOOD. Queso, fried fish, blackberry cobbler, crockpot dishes....literally ANYTHING else besides soybeans.
I am from new yrok came down to nwa for work stayed last 4 years and I have to say soybeans is a lie. Lol
That AR rep has to be from East AR if he is saying Soybeans...East AR is a different state! How about fried pickels! Idk and we are a beautiful combo of TX and Kansas City BBQ.

I only recently moved to Oklahoma but even I was upset that Mr Oklahoma didn't say Braum's.

Cracker Barrel. How does A true Tennessean not claim the ultimate southern chain. That’s just sad.
Cracker Barrel out of Lebanon and Jack Daniels out of Lynchburg. Makes more sense than out of state companies or a seafood place like Joe's Crab Shack. Catfish I can understand, but crab?

@@ianbat7092 Whataburger(pronounced water-burger) is a burger chain localized in Texas ( a few outflyer exist) Burger good, fries great, onion rings are the best you can get at a FF joint. Shakes are so-so but drink sizes are outrageously large. the sweet and unsweet tea are supposed ot be great but I son't drink Tea anymore so can't speak to it.
Everyone in the comments is salty about their representation in this video... which tells me that there's some fierce state pride here. I like that. 😊
Point here. Texas- Dr. Pepper invented in Waco and there are 3 different margarita origin stories in Texas. If not Tijuana then Texas. Just saying.
Who was the Austin transplant that didn't say Dr Pepper and Whataburger?!?! Girl you shamed your kin and all of us
DR. PEPPER from Texas!!!! She’s from Austin, which is California lite, so......that’s not real Texas

I’ll let TexMex slide, but Torchy’s and Tito’s?...y’all need a new person to represent my state.
She was from Austin, not really a Texan.
Probably a Californian
Dr. Pepper?
TexMex or barbecue is what comes to mind for me in Houston
Amanda Imes Dr. Pepper, Shiner, or even the frozen margarita would have been a better fit (in my opinion). As far as liquor goes, Balcones is pretty well known too.
I have lived in Texas for 99.99% of my life and hands down it's Blue Bell, Dr. Pepper, and Whataburger!
Yay! Someone else said Blue Bell!
I’d say Blue Bell, Dr Pepper, and pure brisket that fills me up. I used to like Whataburger, but everything went downhill after they were bought out by that Chicago firm
blue bell hey!!!!
Dudes gonna be real upset when he finds out Ozarka water is from Texas.
Cookout or Bojangles would have to be better than golden corral for NC.
I was blown away that he didn't mention either of those. We need a do-over for a lot of his answers. He said any old Mexican place as his fav place to eat? NC wasn't represented that well lol
Amen!
Neither was South Carolina :/
exactly!!!!?
@@mikoism i’d rather have cookout than the mexican restaurant in my town
He’s right, Milos. We stop every time we come back through.
Love that he called out Fish Camp Restuarant. It is iconic here on the coast. For the drink on the Gulf it's Whiskey Willies bloody Mary. Mix created by a local bar tender and makes the best bloody Mary I ever had. It sells in local stores and you won't regret buying a couble of bottles of mix. I keep a bottle on standby by for the morning after the crazy beach night. Brings you right out of your hangover and sets you up for a lazy breezy day on the beach. Then when you finally get enough sun and waves go in your condo shower and head out to fish camp for some authentic southern fish. When you done there take everybody for a walk in the sand. Grownups drinking and watching kids catch crabs. When the younguns are tiredget em up to bed tucked in tight cause the adult party starting.some of you guys insisting to drink beer while my girls and I stick to our bloody Mary's. Next night you goboutbto eat you havvvve to go to Bleus Burgers in Gulf Shores. The food is freaking awesome. I love the Alabama Gulf Coast. Best place to live!
Was never a big fan of Milos
Mmmm... I’ve gotten food poisoning every time I’ve are at Milos, I’ll only get their tea now. I’d say Jack’s more than Milos. Everything from their biscuits (heaven), chicken, burgers, shakes and pies. They originated in Homewood, too.
@@EtaryaFae I like Jacks. Food poisoning will put you in the hospital, so I doubt you were poisoned, much less on multiple occasions. I mean that’s a serious accusation. But I can see anything not sitting well with someone’s stomach. And yes, Jacks is great. They have good sausage biscuits.
@@JefferyHunt Yes, hospitalization. I was messed up for days each time, (not frequent) over a course of years. After around the 5th time I decided it wasn’t a coincidence and haven’t went back. Jack’s sausage biscuits are good, but I can’t eat pork anymore and found out that their steak biscuits are even better. If I’m going out for breakfast, I’m most likely getting that.
Arkansas is the rice captial of the US but gonna name soybean?????? I can't name one restaurant I've been to here that their specialty is tofu. The soybean grown around here is mainly used in animal feed.
Besides AR is the birthplace of cheese dip. Time for soyboy to go back to where ever he came from, Get a real arky in his place.
I’m born bred and raised Arkansan and I nearly coughed up my chips and cheese dip when that guy said SOYBEANS. I’m truly offended, not cool at all...

How did she not say "Popeye's Chicken" as chain restaurant from Louisiana? Its from New Orleans..🤦🏾♂
Agreed!
Or Raising Cane's. It's from Baton Rouge.
Why don't they just do a rep. For each region of Texas, since she is basically just saying what is popular in Austin.
Same for the one who's just repping "New Orleans" and even tried to act like it wasn't part of the state.
This!!!
Even a native Austenite would know Texas better than this. No native Texan answers Torchys. That’s hippy food. It’s not real Tex Mex. HTF did she not mention Dr. Pepper? Whataburger? Hell even Buccees is superior to Torchys.
Piney Woods of East Texas Girl, here, and I agree with your statement Colby Barnett! I've never even tried any foods/drinks in Austin. My choices for restaurants as a kid were DQ, Whataburger, a little local place called Ray's Drive In, Casa Ole, Cotton Patch Cafe, and Catfish King. Then the usual fast food chains and some other local places that I can't remember the names of now. Even being grown and living in Oklahoma now, I can still answer the questions about Texas food/drink better than the woman in the video. I can answer Oklahoma's food/drink questions better too, because I've learned a lot through my Okie husband. They need to just completely re-do this video.
@@cheyennemundy9681 You tried Braums? Ice cream is affordable and good

Need a new Texas Rep. This is not the first time I ended up "blessin her heart" over her answers.
No kidding. She sucks in EVERY video about Texas! **I may unsubscribe if they can't represent Texas better!!**
Texas doesn’t get enough culinary credit. Obviously the BBQ, and chili our national dish. Most “Mexican” food in the USA and the world is actually TexMex, which is a subset Mexican food created by Texans and Tejanos. As far as drinks we got Dr Pepper and pretty much every frozen alcohol. Frozen margaritas? We need that to stay cool y’all.
Shiner. She didn't even mention Shiner.
The big staples of Texas…Dr. Pepper, Big Red, Shiner Beer, Blue Bell Ice cream, barbecue, HEB & Whattaburger.
@@maggie2sticks717 I’m not of drinking age 😂, and when I’m offered alcohol I’ll take tequila or scotch over beer. I’m sure I’ll develop more of a taste for beer when I’m older lol
Georgia on my mind.......grew up with a garden so gotta love veggie suppers: butterbeans, fried okra, sliced tomatoes, and cornbread.....don't overlook fried catfish and hushpuppies......and my favorite of all time: biscuits and tomato gravy....sooooooo good.
Damn
Hushpuppies sound good right now...
If you’re from North Carolina you have to agree Cheerwine is our greatest contribution!
Also how you gonna say golden coral is even kinda good 🙃
Oh yeah for Cheerwine! Our BBQ is the best too. I have been to TX and had their BBQ. It doesn't even come close to NC BBQ. My first job was working at a BBQ restaurant.
Cheerwine, Cookout, Bojangles; y'all in NC brought some good eats to the US.
I mean, Cheerwine is what NC folks shout out, but Pepsi is one of the largest beverage companies out there. They own tons of subsidiaries like Taco Bell, KFC, Doritos, etc.
Krispy Kreme might also need to be in consideration for tasty chain foods from the state, even if it’s just doughnuts, lol. And I think maybe he picked Golden Corral for “quantity over quality” reasons? Not my pick.
North Carolina livermush. I'm from South Carolina , lived in N.C. and Georgia , grew up eating fried livermush , and still do .
I about shat my pants when he said Golden Corral, I'm pretty sure most of NC would be doing the same hearing about that and SURELY NC has better restaurants than that. I'm not from NC, I'm from Texas but no respectable Texan would go to Golden Corral as their first option, or second or third.
No disrespect but ummmm..... AR needs some better representation. This dude is slackin and isn’t do us any favors in these videos....
Yeah that guy must not get out much. Arkansas has some good food. I miss it.
Fellow Arkansan here, I was also disappointed. Everyone else have such good answers lol
Grapette soda.

I'm from Georgia and everything Matt said about Milo's Famous Sweet Tea is 100% accurate. Thank you, Alabama.
The fact that the Texan didnt say WHATABURGER for best restaurant i think is grounds for expulsion
Yeah her Texas citizenship should be revoked and deported back to CA....
She is from Austin...so not a real Southerner
@@darlenashaw785 true lol
I happen to be from Arkansas and I don't eat soybeans. I don't bar-b-que them, I don't fry them, I don't bake them. How could you even say that soybeans were the iconic food from Arkansas? You should've gotten different person from Arkansas.
As an Arkansan, I couldn’t be more disappointed in our representation....good lord
Somebody commented that most soybeans are used for livestock feed , so everyone that eats farm raised meat eats soybeans second hand . A lot of vegetarians and vegans eat them first hand , and look at the results . I was stationed in Japan for a couple of years in my navy days , edamame and tofu are common fare in East Asia . I consumed them on occasion , but no longer , as unprocessed soy is very high in phytoestrogens , and I ain't no Soy Boi .
As a fellow Arkansan I have to agree 😓
Braum's is Oklahoma's best chain restaurant! !! They do breakfast to ice cream and everything in between. They have their dairy, cattle, and farm operations that produce everything fresh. Sonic is good, but is nothing like Braum's.

So, does the guy that represented Arkansas actually live in the state? It sounds like he hasn't been paying ANY attention to the culinary side of things. Food-wise, Arkansas is the literal birthplace of cheese dip. CHEESE DIP. Soy beans? For the love... Take more than a second to respond. Another taste treat that seems to stem from Arkansas is chocolate gravy and biscuits. Who doesn't like slightly thickened hot chocolate on a fluffy biscuit? Skippy peanut butter... Anyway, lets move to beverages. Ozarka water? IT ISN'T BOTTLED IN ARKANSAS. That is Texas water. How about world famous Mountain Valley Spring Water our of Hot Springs? Crystal Geyer water is bottle in Norman, Arkansas. Both far superior waters and it didn't take me a moment to recall them. There are SO many good places to eat, but I will stick with just one. The best place for steak in the state is, I believe, Taylor's in McGhee. Doe's Eat Place is also fantastic, but I give the edge to the dry-aged steaks at Taylor's.
Next time there is a question about things related to Arkansas, can we vet who gets to answer them?
Grapette soda. Camden Ar

It's good to see us represented properly at least in the comments.

He drives me nuts! Braums for sure! Hell, even Rib Crib or friggin Quick Trip.. also no mention of fried catfish 🤨
I was thinking Braum’s, too. Mmmm. They have WAY better burgers and limeades than Sonic. Hands down.
This dude is not an Okie. Didn't say Fried Onion Burgers, Fried Okra, or Fried catfish. Said Sonic instead of Braums. We need a new rep.

It would be a helluva trip but I will bring Chesapeake Bay Blue crab, we can have delicious and explosive at the same table.
I agree. As a kid my daddy always had a few jars if moonshine in the freezer. Apple pie moonshine was the first thing I got drunk on. I grew up in Dolphin, va.. pretty close to Lynchburg.
Yup, Stanardsville just close enough to WV for shiners to shine
We also are the birthplace of Mountain Dew in Marion, VA.

I was not impressed and spent most of the meal striking in the car over the vile food. I am not a native so I don't have a clue where to eat in SA but they keep it a secret for sure. I think TX overrates it's food. My family that lives there says the food is vile also... so they homecook. Can't find a good meal in TX means what? Either we aren't getting the right reviews on where to eat or TN is so wonderfully awesome and underrated. My homecooking exceeds TX.
Ok imma take that Texas chicks Texan card. You're from Texas and you don't even mention Dr. Pepper or Whataburger. Shame shame shame.
She needs to get out of the sorority house once in a while.
For Georgia, peach cobbler is the most iconic food dish overall, but Atlanta has perfected lemon pepper wings.
Boiled peanuts are one of my favorite snacks . The Varsity in Atlanta is known for their chili dogs .
In Texas the Coke we drink is Dr Pepper. We eat Whataburger. BRISKIT

I wish they would had went more into Texas. Being my home state, I think the best things are probably Dr.Pepper (Waco, Texas) and overall just amazing BBQ
emalee searles the way that girl acted, I’m assuming she’s from Austin. That doesn’t even count as Texan.
They ignore Texas a lot! Probably cause that girl CAN'T represent us right!
I agree with her mentioning Tex mex though. Otherwise, she isn’t truly Texan.
Come on, Arkansas guy! CHEESE DIP was invented by the owner of Mexico Chiquito!!!!!!!!!!!
Mexico Cha Kee toe! You know you sang that 🤣
One of my cousins here in S.C. was married to an Arkansas girl and her family are rice farmers . I believe AR is the largest rice growing state , but South Carolina was the largest rice farming state for a long time .
@@victorwaddell6530 Yes. I live in the delta, and rice fields are everywhere. Riceland is in the town next to mine, Stuttgart. They consider themselves to be the "the rice (and duck) capital of the world." With that, I consider us to be the mosquito capital of the world 🤣 All that stagnant, standing water makes a perfect breeding ground for Satan's blood suckers. It's unbearable in July and August 😫 We do have TONS of soybean fields though. It's almost equal parts soybeans and rice nowadays.
@@arkiemomma9832 The first rice plantations in the US were in South Carolina before the Revolutionary War . It is said that the wealthy planters in S.C. made their wealth on rice , tea , and indigo . Unfortunately , the rice planters imported slaves from the rice fields of Africa due to their skills in rice cultivation . There is an historical account of a Brazilian ship carrying seed rice into Charleston harbor needing repairs . The ship had no hard currency and paid in rice seed . Thus began the South Carolina rice industry . Carolina Gold Seede Rice was the choicest of rices amongst the European nobility and wealthy merchants in the 18th Century . It exists today as a speciality food item . The tea growing industry is largely gone from North America , but the largest tea plantation in the US is located outside Charleston at about 300 acres . The indigo trade is long gone from South Carolina , as India can grow it cheaper . Modern dyes have mostly replaced indigo except for textile brands that still demand the true color . Our S.C. state flag was originally dyed with natural indigo , as were the blue coats of the Revolutionary War soldiers and he blue uniforms of the US military . Thanks , and sorry for the long comment .
I'm so sad the SC guy didn't say shrimp and grits...I was raised in SC, but live in NC now, and I do agree with the vinegar based BBQ for the NC food...BUT several states including SC in the south have their own sauces, so its just a southern thing in general.
lmao Florida man was the only one to answer correctly. “The food is so good at home why would you go to a chain restaurant?” His mama and his spouse won’t be on him after seeing this. I’ll pray for the rest of y’all. 😂
Best soda of all time was invented in Waco, Texas.
If you guessed Dr. Pepper, give yourself a pat on the back lol
Thank you Alabama for your glorious contribution of white barbecue sauce to this world
Is that girl even from Texas?! Every single one of her answers was wrong!!!
I agree completely!
So wrong! 😠
This Oklahoman feels sad for you.
Graham O'Quinn I bet she’s from Austin. Not even a real Texan.
Dude from Arkansas why are you making us look so stupid? Ozarka water comes from Texas. Mt. Valley water the first water ever exported in the world is from Hot Springs AR. How could you possibly not know this?
He needs to go. I saw him on another video. We need someone new!
you are welcome for that great water :)
@@Jeremiahs_Legos LOL 🤣😂😂🤣
It did start in AR before they moved to TX. To me that is the nastiest tasting bottled water. So, give credit where credit is due: TX ;)
South Carolina: Aside from Pimento cheese, we got red rice, she-crab soup, mustard BBQ, Frogmoore stew, shrimp & grits, and catfish stew.
Also for chain restaurants I think a lot more people would recognize Sticky Fingers or Wild Wing Cafe than Hall's Chophouse.
or Zestos!! in columbia!
Thank you for mentioning she-crab soup, shrimp & grits and catfish. I don't live in SC but I travel there a lot and love their food, which is a lot more than just pimento cheese.
The Texas seems to just be claiming for the Austin part of Tx cause as a Texan I did not agree with her comments ahaha
I honestly thought WhatABurger was going to be said for Texas, not Torchy's. 😑 Folks I know barely go there...
She was from Austin, so...... Forgive her California corruption.
@@muskox34 Oh I see....👀
I'm from Houston, so hearing Torchy's I was like, "What? Did I hear that right???"
My whole family is Texan (born there myself but didn’t get to stay very long) WTF is a Torchy’s? And no mention of Whattaburger or brisket? Or Big Red?
@@Fiery154 Torchy's is a taco place. I've only been there a few times with friends in the past. But I'm not crazy for it.
She really said torchis over WHATABURGER
Can we get a new Tennessean? She don’t even know what’s good about her state.
Agree
Helen's in Brownsfield, TN. Central BBQ in Memphis. Arcade for breakfast. And that's just the Memphis area.
No way, she’s the cutest little thing
For Sou' Carolina, i'd go w boiled peanuts, Blenheim's ginger ale and Lizards' Thicket.
I LOVE Lizard's Thicket and Zetos 😋
He didn't do South Carolina right lol
@@THEATERLOVER14 you are right he was an embarrassment to our state ... and I can't believe no one said Callies biscuits
Great choices! They always have great boiled peanuts on hwy 276 near Cleveland, SC?
Blenheim Ginger Ale, Maurice Bessenger's Piggy Park , Shrimp and Grits , Low Country Boil / Frogmore Stew , The Beacon . There's a burger joint in Spartanburg named Ike's Corner Grill that makes awesome burgers and cuts their fries fresh before your eyes .
What about McAlister's. That was started in Oxford Mississippi.
mcallister’s is too expensive for a deli 😭
@@annao1694 *looks up Jason's Deli prices* Huh, could've sworn they were about the same as McAlister's
For TN fast food chain is Krystal’s. Whether you like them or not, they were founded in Chattanooga TN and are all over.
The perfect food when you're hungover or drunk.
I remember as a baby (4 or so), that Mama fed me and herself for a quarter. I got a WHOLE hamburger for myself! While we were eating in the car, I could see across the bridge, the Holsum bread factory. Amazing what words and names will bring back to mind.
I love some Krystals.
Ive heard that Buddy's BBQ was started in Seymour....only seen them in TN though so idk if it counts. but yes the gut bombs are great lol. Mtn dew was a regional drink before getting bought by pepsi in TN wasnt it?
Pal’s in East Tennessee for hamburgers and seasoned French fries
Arkansas beverage should have been Mountain Valley Spring Water from Hot Springs National Park. The man from Arkansas seemed to know next to nothing about his state. Bless his heart.
Or Grapette soda from Camden, Arkansas!
The Oklahoman didn't mention the Onion burger thoooough! We invented that! El Reno yall!
North Carolina guy: Golden Corral
Cookout: Am I a joke to you?
It’s A Southern Thing. I will be the new Texas rep. This girl tried her best, but the great state of Texas deserves better. Bbq is what is best in Texas, our best drink Dr. Pepper or Shiner Bock, and the chain that represents Texas best is WHATABURGER. No if’s and’s or but’s.
i second the motion.... could like this comment ten times.... for the love of all that is holy, please get a REAL Texan
Texas.... BRISKET.... And we invented chicken fried steak.... beverage.... Shiner, Lone Star, Tito’s...
Fast food... Whataburger.....
AND Dr Pepper!!!
