A hearty, warm bowl of chili and the fall season go hand in hand here in Texas.
This flavorful dish has become a staple at cookouts, birthday parties, tailgate parties, family BBQs, and work potlucks.
According to Wealth of Geeks, 3,000 foodies were surveyed for their opinions, and a list of the top 50 fall dishes was put together.
The classic pumpkin pie takes center stage as the #1 dish in Illinois. Down here in Texas, the arrival of cooler weather officially marks the start of chili season, coming in at #2.
“Fall is a time when people gather around the table to enjoy comforting, nostalgic dishes that have been passed down through generations. Our poll highlights the incredible diversity of fall foods across the country, each dish telling its own story of regional pride and culinary tradition,” says Michael Dinich of Wealth Geeks .
“Fall is more than just cooler temperatures and vibrant foliage – it’s a season rich in flavors that warm the soul. As summer fades, the culinary delights of fall take center stage, with each region of America offering its own unique seasonal specialties,” added Dinich.
