Fifty states. Fifty dishes. One national vote.Help choose the dish that will represent your state in the Official State Dish Registry, an official program of the United States Semiquincentennial.
Each state and territory is shaded by how many votes its leading dish has.
“Unlike the Mission burrito, the California Burrito wasn’t named after a neighborhood. We aimed higher and named it after the entire state. Lolita’s does it best.”
“I’d argue a Mission Burrito is actually a California Burrito. French fries in a burrito is an abomination.”
“California's official dish should reflect the entire state. Fish tacos capture our coastline, Baja influence, and fresh local seafood. Mission burritos represent one city.”
These races are within a handful of votes. One ballot could tip the lead.
