The main reason I'm still posting and reading on Reddit is that I belong to a lot of small subreddits that haven't had any reason to migrate elsewhere. You can dislike what Reddit leadership is doing, but lots of people belonging to small subreddits haven't been impacted as much.

I was speaking from personal experience in the states I mentioned, as well as everyone else responding to your post.
You can separate native recipes from recipes brought later by other cultures, but the only difference is native recipes were brought by the original settlers.
Burritos are an interesting example. In Mexican rural areas, burritos were plain, as the people didn't historically have access to spices. When the burrito was originally brought to Texas, the cooks added spices. Now, you can find burritos almost anywhere in the world, each city making them with their own flavor. Just like hot dogs and pizza.
You could have a month (or quarter year) featuring food from the different states. Louisiana is known for boiled crabs and crawfish, as well as Cajun and creole cooking. Maryland is known for crab cakes. Utah is known for gelatin salads. Nebraska (Omaha) is known for its steaks. North Carolina is known for two distinct types of barbecue sauce.
I listen to Ranting Monkey. He's a political and news commentator that leans conservative. He posts 2 hour live streams five or more days a week. His channel has over 10k subscribers but gets a few thousand views on his live streams.
