About 50 State Flavor

A culinary journey through America's regional food traditions

Our Mission

Every state has a story to tell through food. From the pecan groves of Texas to the wild blueberry barrens of Maine, America's culinary heritage is as diverse as its landscapes.

50 State Flavor is a celebration of these regional traditions—the recipes passed down through generations, the local ingredients that define a place, and the cultural stories behind every dish.

What We Do

We're building a comprehensive guide to America's iconic regional foods, starting with pies and expanding to BBQ, seafood, sandwiches, and more.

Each recipe includes:

  • Authentic, tested recipes
  • The history and story behind each dish
  • Tips from local cooks and experts
  • Variations and regional twists

Why Pies First?

Pie is America's dessert. Nearly every state has claimed a signature pie—from the creamy Key Lime Pies of Florida to the tart cherry pies of Michigan. Starting with pies let us explore the full breadth of American baking traditions: fruit pies, nut pies, custard pies, and even savory meat pies.

Plus, who doesn't love pie?
