What Brunch Food Is Your State Obsessed With?
We don’t trust anyone who doesn’t love a good brunch. Whether it’s booze-filled, savory, or just filled with homemade pancakes, we love it all. But maybe we don’t love breakfast risottos *quite* as much as New Yorkers do. Pinterest recently compiled the most-searched brunch recipes by state in order to discover exactly what fare people are craving across the country. While some states are all about the Bloodys and mimosas (we’re looking at you, Illinois and Kentucky), others crave healthier fare (must be the weather in California and Hawaii).
Some stand-out unique choices include Irish cream (New Hampshire), tater tots (South Dakota), lavender (stay you, Oregon), and — perhaps our favorite — stuffed avocado (Texas).
