“I am so shocked no one from WI has been on, as a Wisconsinite. We are the land of ranch, custard, cheese curds, and beer,” one Redditor wrote. Many other users echoed similar sentiments and felt very surprised that Wisconsin hadn’t made the list yet.

Notably, the deep south had really been thoroughly represented on the show.

“Down south I figure it is due to:

  1. A lot of poor folks and unhealthy food is cheap.

  2. A culture of fried food

  3. Lots of fast food chains

  4. It is so hot in the summer you don’t want to move or go outside

  5. A “food is love” culture” another Redditor pointed out.
