How does one become a connoisseur of particular food or alcohol?

North Jersey detected. I went to school at Princeton. Pork roll is more a central and southern Jersey thing.

Canuck here. What's so special about a Las Vegas all you can eat buffet that sets it apart from other all you can eat buffets?

I said New Jersey, not Jersey Shore.

>>7629577
I lived in Middlesex County, towards the south of it. Is that still considered Northern Jersey?

>>7629363
>fried okra that's not sliced
Nobody does that.

That's a p egregious oversight. Like they had to connect those mistaken lines to the wrong states and add text and everything.

But I'm from CA so fuck you, flyovers.

Its outdated. Vegas use to have great quality steaks, lobster, deserts and large quantities of anything decadent etc in their ayce for a very low price. This was back when any of those things were difficult to find made well at any restaurant. Low enough that they were probably losing money on the food. Nowadays there isnt anything really special about it and its gotten much more expensive.

I'm not even from America and I noticed it. It's a huge fucking error.

Ohio here, those buckeye things are too sweet.

>>7629755
>implying vegas no longer has deserts
80% of your state is deserts.

>>7629363
Of the places I lived

>Connecticut should just be New Haven style pizza, the white clam pizza I've never seen anyone get ever. Clam bake also appropriate.

>Wisconsin is pretty accurate, brats need to be cooked in beer though

>Montana should be a Beef Pasty, or slow cooked Elk.

Overall map seems pretty innacurate.

MD here, and glad that one of these pictures has the true food of my kin, heavily spiced sea spiders. Tired of people trying to sell the pit beef sandwich. Of course a roasted/smoked beef on a kaiser roll with onion, spicy bbq sauce and horseradish is delicious and everyone else in the country makes it so dry you can swap a slice for a kitchen sponge but there is simply no goddamn comparing Maryland Blue Crab with some of the Old Bay. Coat em till you cant see their sad little alien eye stalks and them steam em alive till satan red. Fuck me, I am so hard now, damn you /ck/
