The best summer treat you can eat in every state by Shilo Urban on Jun 27, 2018, 4:07 PM Advertisement
 - One of the best parts of summer is the food, especially if you have plans to travel or take a cross-country road trips.
- All 50 states of the US have their specialties — Vermont's is Ben & Jerry's ice cream, North Carolina has the best pulled pork sandwiches, and Nebraska invented the "tin roof sundae."
- Seasonal fruits and warm weather cravings are some of the best ways to explore each state's culture.
Across the country, we wait eagerly for summer's seasonal fruits, fried treats, and nostalgic snacks. These 50 are always worth the wait. We'll say it: Food is the best part of summer — and every state has a favorite summer treat, from deep-fried delicacies at county fairs to just-caught seafood on the docks. When the weather is warm, it's the best time of year to get your fruit freak on and go all-out with backyard barbecue. Or head to a seasonal festival and indulge in local oddities like boiled peanuts, sauerkraut balls, and ice cream potatoes. Many of these foods are at their peak or only available in the summertime, while some just taste best on a hot, sunny day. When you travel across the United States this summer, seek out these seasonal eats, grab a seat at the picnic table, and dig in!

Crunchy on the outside and smokin' hot in the middle, these juicy treats are often served in the South with a zesty remoulade or a dollop of pimento cheese. And nobody does it better than Alabama. Bite into heaven at the Irondale Café, the hangout that helped inspire the movie Fried Green Tomatoes.
Alaska: King crab legs Brave souls on fishing boats risk their lives to haul in these colossal crustaceans — and to create reality TV gold on Deadliest Catch. King crab legs are succulent, especially expensive, and totally worth it. Try them at their freshest with a side of melted butter at Tracy's King Crab Shack on the Juneau waterfront.
Arizona: Chimichanga  Once upon a time, a chef accidentally dropped a beef burrito into the deep fryer and the chimichanga was born. Or so the story goes. Multiple Arizona chefs take credit for this serendipitous mistake, but others claim that the chimichanga arrived with Mexican immigrants from Sonora. One thing is certain: This crispy burrito is all over Arizona. Pair it with a prickly pear margarita while gazing at a crimson desert sunset.
