These are not official state foods. They are what the source website has decided to appoint as the favorite food for each.

This is a list of official state foods:

EDIT: Corrected link; source page is down and had originally linked to wrong page. Used archive.org to get to original.
Ooh, let me see what the state food is where I live! Let's see, Colorado...

It’s true though and freaking excellent.
The lack of anything listed? I was talking about the link above with official state foods, not the OP. Love green chili as an (but who calls it chili verde?)
Having lived here for over a decade, and 2 states prior, I think the breakfast burrito deserves some recognition as an official food though. With green chili, of course.
They also swapped the labels on Nebraska and Kansas on the map. And someone should tell them to repick Rhode Island, drinks don't count.
Are you sure "handheld meat pies" is not what people from Nebraska call ribs?
Not only should beverages not count but the official drink of Rhode Island is coffee milk.
It's hilarious that the country thinks Chicago is obsessed with deep dish. Ask any Chicagoan their opinion and they'll probably say "it's all right" or "good for a slice once in awhile"
Chicago had a fantastic restaurant scene and very few even make deep dish pizza
