The great American interest ? If we ’re being honest , it ’s gaining weight . Other state may love eat as much as we do , but few embrace nimiety with American - grade guts , andthe stats are there to try it .
But we come not to shame America for its waistline , but to keep it , take all 50 states and chew over one round-eyed question : " How much fun is it to get fat there ? " This is n’t just a celebration of which states have the near eating , though that ’s sure enough a part of the equation . Everything weigh – the weather condition , the culture … basically the extent to which you may completely lose yourself in the pursuit of gluttony , as is your right field !
So delight , America , and keep feed !
Daniel Fishel/Thrillist
50. Delaware
The grill chicken and steam vegetable of United States Department of State .
49. Wyoming
There ’s so much steak ! Problem is , you had to slaughter the cow yourself , and that variety of activity really keeps pounds off .
48. North Dakota
On the plus side , there ’s no guilt feelings in hibernating all winter . On the negative side , there ’s no pizza hombre within 47 miles .
47. South Dakota
Nothing kills a salutary ole frybread and chislic binge like recognize Lincoln and Jefferson are judging your gluttony from on in high spirits . Even if Roosevelt ’s nerveless with it .
46. Alaska
In theory , all that cold and want of sunlight should promote hunkering down and porking up on canned salmon and crab dip , but the affair is , Alaska ’s really TOO harsh for such nonchalance . You have to be rugged here – quick for boxing with a bear or a Palin . Alaska will destroy the tubby and faint , which sort of takes the play out of it .
45. West Virginia
Actually one of America ’s chubbier states , but that does n’t mean anyone ’s enjoying the operation that much , pepperoni axial motion notwithstanding .
44. Montana
The thing about bison core is it ’s style lean than beef ! And yes , of course Montana HAS beef , too . And pretty skillful beer ! It ’s not a bad DoS for fat , just not a expectant one , either .
43. New Hampshire
There ’s that one really practiced Proto-Indo European place by Dartmouth … oh , who is anyone kidding , go to Vermont .
42. Nebraska
Fact : it ’s all out of steaks because it shipped them all to America ’s difficult - to - store - for Father-God - in - law last Christmas . o.k. , fine , that ’s not lawful . Also possibly not true : its title to have cook up the Reuben . Where were we ? Right , Nebraska ! count , you may do all right for yourself here , but it ’s not like hoi polloi are pass away to regale you with narration of how they feasted like kings in Omaha , either .
41. Idaho
Idaho does n’t get quite the cite it deserves for possess some of the qualities that make its neighbour to the due west so lionise ( must be the lack of coastline ) – no one ’s reasonably live to compare Boise to Portland , but there ’s better face - stuff to be had there than you cerebrate if you have n’t been . That say , the state has a ways to go before its in - state achievements in fatness supplant all those Gallic fries it ’s using to flesh out up the ease of the state .
40. Utah
Utah gets a bit of a bad rap when it come to survive an indulgent life what with its historically difficult relationship with spirits , but truth be told you’re able to have yourself a tasty piffling time in Salt Lake City ( even if I did once have a jarring experience there with an entire stave of blond - hairy , blue - eyed server at a sushi governing body , although the food was quite good ! ) . But at the same time , that Mormon ethic of restraint , while good for some hooey , is n’t really the respectable for overeating , and it still permeates the finish to some extent . The only chubby Mormon I ever encountered was portrayed by Josh Gad . Pass the fry sauce !
39. Rhode Island
Still trying to get the whole world to understand thatProvidence - style pizza pie is really a matter . It ’s making some clearance . It ’s residents are also making their way into neighboring states when they really require to fatten up .
38. Connecticut
Much more successful atcarving out a singular pizzaidentity than its feisty minuscule neighbor ! And while Frank Pepe , Sally ’s , and the like generally go up to the hype ( and possess the kind of crust you may devour endlessly without any regard for your well - being ) , other state have surpassed it in Warren Burger achievements sinceLouis ' Lunch(allegedly ! ) conceived the crowning achievement in chubbiness . But if you sidle up there you may at least rest loose knowing that your arteries are also being clog with diachronic significance .
37. Kansas
Even if most of the best Kansas City barbecue is across the mete in Missouri , you ca n’t takeJoe’sfrom this nation ( especially now that that confusing " Oklahoma " is stricken from the name ) . But here ’s the matter – White Castle was establish in Wichita . There are no longer anyWhite Castlesin the whole damn state ! You simply ca n’t have a loss like that on your sketch and be any high . Some conglutination of slider - love whale should have step in and stop it , dammit .
36. Oklahoma
Possesses some of the same cuisine high spot of Texas ( your barbecue , your Tex - Mex ) , but not at quite as gamey a level . Possessesa signature Warren Earl Burger , but the theme song is a whole bunch of onion , which are totally a vegetable ! In the end you have some hunky-dory qualities but not quite the makings of a rival , kinda like the scag after Durant leaves . WHAT ? ! I ’m kidding ! tranquil down , have an onion burger .
35. Iowa
There ’s in spades something soul - satisfying about a hubcap - sized slab of fried pork tenderloin spill over a comically inadequately sized bun . ( What hand Guy ? big buns ! There are ripe carbs to be added in there . ) front , when you ’re the giving porc - producing state in the nation and no one else is even cheeseparing , you ’re gon na know your direction around fat . La Quercia makes possibly the best prosciutto and other Italian pork delicacy you ’ll find outside Italy . Buy yourself a plurality . Eat it all . No one will point out !
34. Indiana
Indianapolis ' rise as a " hot food town " has been documented seemingly everywhere this class ( even if Thrillist was on it way earlier ) and without a doubt the food bar ’s being raise there at a speedy magazine . That being state , your average Hoosier is believably just as subject matter sticking with a regime of cookie and gravy for breakfast , Steak & Shake for lunch , and a different Steak & Shake order for dinner party . And that ’s big ! Indiana deserved a short more cosmopolitan avoirdupois to mate with its pre - existent aptitude for down - abode area fatness . It ’s a twofold - bypass bivalent threat now . Although the Supreme Court needs to step in and decide once and for all whether it or Iowa get credit for the pork barrel tenderloin .
33. Arizona
On the one hand , it ’s so bloody red-hot ! On the other hand , caparison a chimichanga in cranked - up AC in the thick of 105 - grade heat neatly combines two of life ’s hunky-dory guilty pleasure .
32. Florida
It ’s not like you ca n’t consume ( and fuddle ) incredibly well in Florida . Cubanos ! Key calcium hydroxide Proto-Indo European ! Seafood ! ( Do n’t occupy , they ’ll gladly fry it . ) There ’s a vibrant , internationally determine dining fit in Miami and one of the nation ’s moreunderappreciated brewing forcesin the Tampa - St. Pete area . But there ’s also a job , and that problem is beaches . So many beach ! It ’s just hard to cultivate a proper culture of blubber when even trips to the beach are such an ever - present world for such a wide swath of the land . And sure , not EVERYWHERE is near the beach , but most of the spot with the best solid food are . You ca n’t just take the air around South Beach add a big old sack of Warren E. Burger and not feel self - conscious about it when you see a bunch of super - fit people who you ’re somewhat sure were extras in a Pitbull television .
31. New Mexico
The outstanding trick New Mexico ever pulled was convincing the world that if you douse everything in green Republic of Chile it basically counts as eat your vegetable , even if said " everything " materialize to primarily affect various pith , tortillas , and melted cheeses . For real , it ’s a great trick .
30. Hawaii
In theory , the same beach rule that applies to Florida ought to apply here , and to be indisputable , it does to a stage . But it ’s a completely dissimilar mindset in Hawaii , which is such a paradise that no other res publica manages to feel like it ’s in unremitting " holiday mode " whether or not you ’re really on vacation , which contribute itself to let yourself go . Whether that means doing it up at one of Peter Merriman ’s restaurants or loading up on special macaroni salad with your plate dejeuner , living ’s middling good .
29. Virginia
You have the DC - domain influence up north , which has manifested itself in some damn proficient feeding in those part , all the Chesapeake H.M.S. Bounty along the coast , and then the more decisively Southern influence as you trek further … well , south . You have weather that seldom cast into " it ’s so stale I ’m going to just stay inside and take exception my personal pizza - eat up record " territory , and you have a fabled repute for tasty jambon . All in all you have a solid , if not needs spectacular property for avoirdupois .
28. Ohio
GO Cavs ! One can only assume Clevelanders plan to spend the next class or so calling in sick to shape and plowing through plates of kielbasa while they alternate between learn LeBron highlights and catching Michael Symon onThe Chew . That ’s unspoilt blubber right there ! Cincinnati , meanwhile , is still essay to convince the creation that Skyline tastes good , but hey , there ’s no employment to be done in terms of its lack of healthfulness . At least everyone who ’s eat it can harmonise on a pint of mocha chip from Graeter ’s .
27. Nevada
Consuming some 15,000 gram calorie at a $ 15 buffet loses some of its luster when you ’re only doing it because it ’s all you may give after a specially ill - apprise attempt to turn around your fortunes at the blackjack table . " I can make it back quicker if I just bet bigger ! " you said . All that runt cocktail might clog your spunk , but it wo n’t fulfil the vacuum inside it .
26. Maine
If you had to pick one perfect intellectual nourishment to fatten up up on repeatedly , lobster rollswould have to come in somewhere near the top , with that larder whorl complementing the buttery ( in a different sense ) lobster in the kind of arrant harmony that says " you should entirely deplete 15 of me . " But Maine ’s charms decidedly widen beyond lobster – Portland ’s condition as a rising dining city is n’t quite create anyone forget about the other Portland , but it ’s undoubtedly carve out an indulgent reputation all its own . Also , blueberries in and of themselves are a magnificently healthy superfood , but that can all be quickly undone if you consume them in pie form .
25. Arkansas
It may be lacking the hoard and the coastline of many of its fellow Southern body politic , but that does n’t intend Arkansas ca n’t bring pile of heat in the smoke / fried / smothered department . There ’s a reason Clinton look like he did when he introduce the White House , right ?
24. Colorado
Colorado , what to do with you ? There ’s excellent feeding in Denver and Boulder . The thriving beer acculturation is 2d to none . The statewide love of burritos is well documented in the land that gave the world Chipotle . The path to sound weed was blaze away ( ! ) here . And yet … Colorado always seems to range as the fit state in the union . Seems like way too many people are pairing that burrito with a 15 - Roman mile wage hike , or a triathlon , or something else that makes those of us who would rather just pair it with a 2d burrito palpate spoiled . It ’s nerveless , Colorado , let yourself go a footling , would ya ?
23. Kentucky
To best experience thebourbonthat made the state far-famed you should really have it neat , which sounds perilously like a gram calorie - cutting measure , but definitely consider the fact that bourbon makes its way into just about every possible dessert on the planet around these part . Ever had a Bourbon dynasty musket ball ? It ’s like doing a stroke AND having dessert at the same clip , so essay having 12 ! There ’s some debate over whether or not bourbon actually belongs in a Derby Pie , but there ’s no debating that the remnant result kinda resembles just a big - ass , gooey chocolate chip cookie in Proto-Indo European build . And seem , it ’s not like everyone in Kentucky is sitting around treat through Hot Browns all the clock time , but nonetheless , when your state ’s theme song dish involve both Francis Bacon and a generous serving of cheese sauce ( and has since well - before either practice became trendy ) it sets a fine case law for the state ’s avoirdupois future .
22. Massachusetts
you may doubtlessly have a opulent , juicy sentence in Massachusetts , but you ’ll always have the shrewish feeling things could be just a trivial bit better , almost as if the state ’s Puritan forefathers are still judging you from beyond the grave ( and these are the people who supposedly started Thanksgiving ! ) . But hey , the chowder is creamy , the seafood - shanty biz is in the main on point , and the cannoli at Mike ’s Pastry are comfortably consumed by the dozen . There ’s a lot to wish here , even if you ’re just a simple man who ’s most at family buying a 25 - piece Munchkins without sharing them and washing ‘em down with a large Caramel Coffee Coolatta ( which is more people than you call up ! ) .
21. South Carolina
So the barbecue is obviously fantastic , though some quibble with mustard in their BBQ sauce ( leaf mustard has like no calories – ca n’t you take a lesson from Alabama ? ! ) . But for real , there ’s a reason Lowcountry cuisine is being huckster on menus across the country these days – these common people know how to eat . Go to Charleston and see how many dissimilar versions of shrimp and hominy grits you’re able to consume before you ’re quick to call it a solar day , then wake up and have some more for breakfast .
20. Washington
Washington ’s another United States Department of State replete with domicile - grown delights that ’s missing just a little bit in the " zealous embracing of slothly fatness " family . Something about that fresh Pacific Northwest air travel just makes you need to have a perfectly cooked piece of salmon once in a while , ya know ? ! Also the know - it - all coffeehouse culture tends to lead slenderly counter to grotesque displays of overeating . All is n’t lost , though ! by from the fact that passel of chefs DO puzzle out up indulgent wonders incorporate all that local produce , there ’s a reliably wondrous beer setting and the comforting fact that they ’ve been known to partner off hot dogs with pick cheeseflower . Perhaps you ’ve been underestimated , Washington .
19. Maryland
Blue Cancer are incredible , but they ’re also a ton of body of work ! skillful fatness move is definitely to go the crab patty route so you ’re just mainline straightforward fussy goodness . Or better yet , in balmy - shell form , which countenance you to eat them fried whole with reckless abandon like some kind of giant , culinarily minded monster . No matter what , you ’ll be jubilantly sweatingOld Bay . Seafood not your cup of tea ? Yours is a life story less full , friend , but there ’s always pit beef .
18. New Jersey
Torn between the food culture of Philly and New York , but if you know where you ’re face in New Jersey you ’ll get hold flock of pizza and cheesesteak pick that rival the across - the - border neighbors with less ostentation and pretension . Also blessedly lacking largeness ? The pork curl , the stuff of which fabled breakfast sandwich are made .
17. Vermont
Any State Department that could engender such fatness notable asBen & Jerry’sis obviously start from a fantastic place , reflect a culture of " hey lease ’s try this material together and see if it tastes yummy ! " But it ’s not like B&J is unique to Vermont these days . However , Burlington ’s a furtive - fantastic hip little town proving that skillful eating in Vermont goes way beyond maple syrup and American cheese – but also very much include those things . On top of that you have plausibly the mightiest small - Department of State beer scene in the country . Do n’t put it past Ben & Jerry ’s to make a maple - American cheese - ale ice pick and make it DELICIOUS !
16. Minnesota
Your burgers occasionally involve liquefied cheese and your casseroles ( ahem , hotdishes ) are often dot with tater tots . Minnesotans do n’t mess up around , because wintertime is coming . For real . They do n’t even suppose of that as aGame of Thronesreference .
15. California
Due to its sheer size , its nearly illimitable instinctive bountifulness , and the universe ofIn - N - Out , it ’s quite fairish to argue that California ’s the best state in the body politic when it comes to wipe out well . Hell , we ’ve MADE that argument . So what ’s with the firm - but - unspectacular ranking ? Well , it ’s all about civilisation . San Diego ’s deep with surfer and single citizenry seek to date surfboarder while put off getting a material job . LA ’s all Hollywood - focused , and there are only so many roles out there for the chubby . SF ’s upwardly mobile startup civilization does not lend itself to the portly . The same holds true for its hill . To retell , the food in California is amazing , but there are most emphatically factors at play subdue your enjoyment of thatfish taco . Or thatMission burrito . Or that twofold - Double . look , peradventure California DOES need to be higher ?
14. Oregon
It ’s quite sluttish to mislay yourself in a brilliant fatness binge in Oregon . Another artisanal sinker ? But of course ! A breakfast sandwich made with local high mallow , local Sir Francis Bacon , farm - fresh eggs , and an English muffin craft from house - made flour from an passe grind purchase at a K cut-rate sale that you ’d poke play at if it did n’t try freaking incredible ? But of class ! More brewery serving up world - category beer with creative legal profession snacks than anyone knows what to do with ? ratify me up ! The only problem is , just when you ’re about to spontaneously block up at that solid food handcart you discern in between breweries , you ’ll prevail into some cats load up up for a kayak trip , you bed , just as a assuredness - down after that deal they climbed that morning . It wo n’t kill your buzz , but it ’ll harsh it just a small . perhaps some edibles will help ?
13. Mississippi
Mississippi does n’t get quite the hoopla of its neighbour to the Rebecca West , but it has much of that same Gulf Coast charm ( and the smack to match ) that you ’ll bump in Louisiana even if you lose out on tossing around astragal necklaces in substitution for acts of public nakedness ( really wait that ’s credibly a mark in Mississippi ’s favor ) . But the chubby soul of Mississippi is perhaps best embody in its clay pie , a mixture so replete with blubber and sugar it ’s illegal in seven State . That ’s a Trygve Halvden Lie , but this is n’t : you will have sex the hell out of eat here .
12. Alabama
Alabama is fat with tidy sum of the rib - beat goodness that ready so much of the South a hotbed of caloric indulgence , but of special note is its power to transmute a mayo - based intermixture into an acceptable form of barbecue sauce . That ’s just top - nick blubber ingenuity right there – pass the sweet afternoon tea ? What ’s that ? It ’s just a jar of moolah with a few eyedroppers of Lipton in it ? Pass it anyway !
11. Missouri
You simply have to honour a state where the all - fat part of the brisket is showcased as a meal in and of itself and icy custard is considered a light in - between - repast collation . Also , I ’ve been known to intrude fun at toasted ravioli in the past , but look , these guys lead something already marginally unhealthy and made it that much less good for you , which is a move I can respect . I still ca n’t quite wrap my brain aroundSt . Joe Louis - style pizza pie , but hey , some the great unwashed love it and the slicing are thin enough that you may pretty much always talk yourself into another composition , and when it comes down to it , is n’t that really what it ’s all about ?
10. Michigan
9. Georgia
More like FATlanta , amirite ? But for actual , any state that can list Coca - Cola , Chick - fil - A , andWaffle Houseamong its culinary gifts to the world must know a thing or two about gettin ' heavy . All those delights may go to the earth now ( or the South , in Waffle House ’s case ) , but they ’re also a reflection of the " you do n’t search like you ’re feed enough " sentiment that runs through so much of the Georgian DNA . Seriously . You ’re too fragile . Have some pimento cheese and another cut of pecan Proto-Indo European ? Please ?
8. North Carolina
Any land that hang its hat so thoroughly on whole - hog BBQ is starting from a damn fine place . Bonus if you chase it withCheerwine , which might just be bottled liquid diabetes , but who cares , it ’s so sweet-scented ! Also the nation ’s studded with incessantly underrated cities to eat in from the always on - the - rise Charlotte to the beer mecca that is Asheville .
7. New York
Based on sheer number of quality fatness choice available at your disposal per square foot , there may be no greater city in the world than New York . Thebagelsare load with irresponsible amount of ointment cheese . you may cabbage in and out of a slice joint having mauled a couple of slices before anyone comment you ’re gone . aboveboard , we could be here for 1,000 more words speak about all the incredible things to eat in New York and not even get out of Manhattan . But all that concentrated food happiness is partially the product of an more and more push , sometimes sweaty , more than occasionally angry drove of people live in near quarters and dealing with the frustration and expenses that come along with it . As such , the unconscious process of enjoy your fatness in New York , while still quite a treat , get with a short more concern on the side than in some other places , which pain it just a number . But hey , you could always head north and subsist on a diet composed entirely of Buffalo wings ? !
6. Illinois
It ’d be tempting to just sharpen on the obligatory Chicago checkpoints when it follow to Illinois ' fatness sketch , and to be indisputable , pizza that ’s engineered for maximum cheese payload , raging dog loaded up with juuuust enough vegetation to make you feel okay about eating more hot dogs , andbeef sandwichesdunked in also - burly gravy are all admirable , singularly Chicagoan contributions to the blubber continuum , to say nothing of the more modern-day delight that are winning hearts and stomachs there . But it ’d be a mistake to cut the rest of the state . Have you ever had a shoe ? For the uninitiated , it ’s an open look - sandwich position ( protein vary , beefburger cake are usual ) covered in a hatful of chips and a veritable lava flow of tall mallow sauce . It ’s like a sandwich and poutine had an opened - faced baby , and it ’s amazing . Also , Southern Illinois ' barbecue culture is nothing to log Z’s on . So yeah , even if Chicago truly hogs much of the fat spot , the state as a whole makes for a bloody impressive bundle of fatness .
5. Tennessee
Is there any instant that fill a person with a more freakish compounding of self - satisfaction , vertiginous comprehensiveness , and just a slight speck of embarrassed guiltiness than the completion of an full slab of ribs ? The bones picked clean-living and piled on the plate , your look and hand all BBQ - stained no matter how many serviette you employed . But frame aside one of America’sgreat barbecue capitals , you also have Nashville , which was already a bloody fine food city before it became voguish to call it as such . And hey , if the estrus on that hot chicken is getting in the way of your binge - eating , there ’s plenty of not - hot deep-fried wimp around the land that ’ll fit the fatness bill just fine !
4. Pennsylvania
Did you love that when you order acheesesteakyou actually consume 500 nutritionist’s calorie before the sandwich itself even tinct your lips ? ! It ’s on-key ! Even thinking about a greasy , onion - constellate cheesesteak will make you heavy , lease alone the act of in reality eating the blasted thing ( we ’ll circumvent any debates over proper cheese selection for another time , but guess what , they ’re all gloriously bad for you ! ) . But it ’d be a misapprehension not to sing about some of Pennsylvania ’s other chubby magical spell , from those incredible roast pork sandwich to the unadulterated joy that comes from carbo - shipment in soft pretzel class . And that ’s just Eastern Pennsylvania ! Primanti Bros. was stuff French child in sandwiches before television and the food - focused internet made craze caloric mixture objects of fetishization . They did it for the love of the game ! And you ’re going to lie with scarfing one down and then tag it afterwards with a plate of pierogies alongside a liberal helping of sour cream . essentially , in Pennsylvania you have some of the dear nisus of East Coast avoirdupois merged with a more Rust Belt/ Midwest - expressive style fatness as you head west , and the sum aggregate is one fat force to be reckoned with .
3. Texas
Barbecue may well be the big businessman of all gettin’-fat food , and Texas barbeque is arguably the king of all barbecue ( I do n’t have a dog in this fight , for the record ) . Is it possible to eat too much brisket ? Too many beef costa ? Too much sausage ? Yes , to all of the above , but it ’s SO much sport to do it anyway and then convince yourself that you still ought to finish up that potato salad and those beans , and then get some banana pudding for dessert too , because , why not ? And all that ’s without even pay back into Tex - Mex , whose nuanced history can best be sum up with " so , more tall mallow on everything , correct ? " It ’s quite possible to put away an embarrassing amount of chips and queso before you realize you ought to finish , but no one in Texas will make you feel embarrassed , because they ’ve all been there . OK , so you ’ve had your breakfast tacos and your barbeque and your queso and now you ’ve been out drinking long enough that you forgot about all of that and you ’re somehow hungry again but you ca n’t happen anything unresolved ? revere not , there ’s always Whataburger .
2. Louisiana
Louisiana scram hot and humid enough beyond notion , the sort of tangible , textural heat that theoretically should just make you need to stay inside and streamTreme . And yet ? It does n’t matter ! Eating and drinking well is an absolute mandate here , and it permeates the acculturation no matter the circumstances . There ’s never a unseasonable time for a po - boy , or a stack of beignet dusted in a Tony Montana - like mound of powdered sugar , or a muffuletta , or a 2nd muffuletta . And await , there ’s a litany of other Cajun , Creole , and generally fantastical Southern specialism to be had anywhere you go even though the temptation when writing about Louisiana is to get all cant bingo - y with your okra and your jambalaya and … see I ’m doing it again ? But even if you put the long leaning of Louisiana ’s greatest hits apart ( just for a here and now , you could go back to them ! ) , you ’d still be will with a bunch of people that just want you to be yourself and have a keen sentence , even if " yourself " design to imbibe 17 Hurricanes ( so much sugar ! ) and generally turn over into a incubus . Just ensure to eat something , OK ? Here , have a US Post Office - boy .
1. Wisconsin
When it comes to sweep up the sheer joyfulness of set up on pounds , Wisconsin is quite simply the full package . It ’s easy to come back on the tropes of cheese , beer , beer - battered cheese , and such and leave it at that , but it does n’t tell the whole story , even if tossing back tall mallow curds like Zea mays everta IS one of the Department of State pastime . Yes , this is a DoS where butter burgers are a completely normal thing and predate a second brat will make people wonder if you have a horrific health condition , but it ’s also a state with a pair of underhand - advanced intellectual nourishment scenes in Madison and Milwaukee and an admirable devotedness to twenty-four hours boozing , be it a summer beer garden , a Lambeau tailgate , or a tap house that some guy fight back through a blizzard to open because , hey , it ’s a rash , where else would you rather be ?
More importantly , Wisconsin is a thoroughly judgment - free zone when it comes to this kind of thing . Quick account – this summer , a ally who was jaw from out of town for a wedding had a stakes with her husband that she could eat 10 grill cheese from Kopp ’s in one sitting . That she petered out at 7.5 was not surprising . What DID surprise me a bit was that , despite some giggle and hoo-hah from our party , no one else seemed to bat an eyelash . It seemed like a highly normal thing to everybody . Wisconsin ’s state of matter slogan should be " you do you . "
Wisconsin , you are America ’s comfy sweat pants , and whenever we leave you , we ca n’t wait to get back in .
