Sidethought: I wonder what types of restaurants are most popular by state are. For example, would NY have the most pizza restaurants? - JaxSean Sep 2, 15:46 5
- CA would be pizza, seems every strip mall is required to have one..in WA its Terriyaki if espresso stands don't count as restaurant -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 2, 15:54
- Halal carts. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 2, 15:47

- i'm curious wht every head coach does not make everyone try kicking in preseason. I bet some of the players are great and have never tried it - Peglegpete Sep 2, 15:12 3
  - I think you vastly underestimate the skills of the specialists. These guys have spent years working at it. There is a lot of technique involved and - pmb Sep 2, 15:20 2
    - maybe. but it could save millions on the annual payroll -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 2, 15:29 1

what weird food sets your state apart? -- (link) - znufrii Sep 2, 14:57 54
- NY is crap. Cold? Roll? *smh* Hero should be over roll but they probably didn't count deli menus. -- nm - Krusty Sep 2, 15:29 4
  - I figured they were getting "cold cut" from deli menus, therefore "cold." -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 15:30 3
    - Then hero should beat roll, that's weird. We're pretty much the only state that uses the word hero. - Krusty Sep 2, 15:32 2
      - But it's served on a roll, since they're also ranking ingredients. Conclusion: you have too many Hero Roll shops along with your Subway Rolls! -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 15:35 1
        
        A hero isn't served on a roll, it's the bread. We call subs/hoagies a hero. Based on % it should win by a mile. -- nm - Krusty Sep 2, 15:50
- I love how most of Florida's terms are seafood, and our seafood sucks. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 15:24 2
  - I expected the seafood be awesome there. -- nm - Krusty Sep 2, 15:31

- I would also like us to appreciate that NJ is cheesesteak, but PA is not. -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 15:16 4
  - Only because no one else calls a hoagie a hoagie. -- nm - Dano Sep 2, 15:18 3
    - We have a local deli that sells a jersey style sammich. It's called the jughandle hoagie - CQ Sep 2, 15:24 1

        Yes. District 9 is stupid. -- nm - Katniss Everdeen, District 12 Sep 2, 15:46

  - Before even looking I thought "It'll be ranch dressing" for us. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 2, 15:10
  - what state are you even looking at? I see NY is Eggplant (poison) -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Sep 2, 15:05 2
    - Yes, which makes total sense. But there are at least *5* ranch dressing states! -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 15:12 1

  - Oh, wait -- just the envelope is one ounce, maybe. Gah. -- nm - mara Sep 2, 14:57
  - Uh, CD, not DC. -- nm - mara Sep 2, 14:53
- Go here, fill out and plug in 0.55 ounces for the weight. -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 2, 14:50 2
