Beginning as far west as Hawaii, there is a true smorgasbord of influences in popular dishes like the Hawaiian Loco Moco and Hawaiian Macaroni Salad among others. Heading eastbound we stop in California where both the Cobb Salad and Mai Tai were invented.

Continuing further east we can pause in Louisiana, home to dishes like Shrimp Etouffée and Chicken and Andouille Jambalaya. Heading north from the Gulf Coast there are tons of unique culinary regions.
