Alabama: White Barbecue Sauce
White barbecue sauce isn’t exactly the main meal – it normally accompanies all kinds of barbecued meats. From chicken and ribs to pulled pork, just about any meat will be amazing with the sauce slathered over it. The sauce is unique since it has mayonnaise added to it. That’s what gives it the white color. Combining mayonnaise with vinegar, spices, and other ingredients will give you the heavenly finished product: a tangy, white sauce that goes all the way back to 19235 and “Big Bob” Gibson’s family barbecues in Decatur, Alabama.

Arizona: Chimichanga
It’s still a mystery as to who invented chimichanga, but history has hinted that the dish originated in one of two Arizona cities: Tucson or Pheonix. Restaurant owners in both cities claim their relatives were the ones to deep-fry a burrito for the first time, but nothing is certain yet. However, there is one known fact. Some Arizonans want the “chimi” as their official state food. No matter where it was originated, the popular stuffed and deep-fried burrito is not going anywhere anytime soon.
