Thrillist put together a list of the most important food innovations from each state.  And they did a pretty good job, because a lot of these are going to be pretty hard to argue with, unless you are North Dakota . Idaho's most innovative food is not too surprising,  but I would argue and say it was the Finger Steak. 

But no, Idaho's biggest food innovation is the Idaho Potato.  Now Idaho didn't come up with the potato, but apparently because of our climate and soil we made the potato better, proving that America may not be good at inventing food, but we're FANTASTIC at taking food that already exists and making it better.

1.  Colorado's most important innovation was Chipotle. The restaurant chain, not the spice.  They also say Georgia's most important innovation was Waffle House . Massachusetts's is Dunkin' Donuts and Washington's is Starbucks.

2.  Iowa's is sliced bread.  Yep, Iowa literally invented sliced bread.  It was invented and patented in Davenport, Iowa.

3.  Louisiana's is hot sauce.

4.  Kentucky's is bourbon.

5.  And North Dakota's is . . . unknown.  The writers just said it's definitely NOT lutefisk, but they couldn't find anything else.
