Nevada got me howling. TIL they have no official State Food like the rest. brutally honest
That it's a totally fair choice makes it all the better. Vegas-style buffets are a production that really caught on globally (thanks to that marketing) and really are a distinct style. But like, theres fuckall other options for them, nevada is a fucking cultural wasteland (if you ignore those tens of thousands of years of indigenous culture, but who cares about THAT...)

According to this, Nevada only had 110k people statewide in 1940.
In 1940, New York City had 7.5 million.
Gotta have people to produce cultural output.
