Superbowl Food The coffee machine review site selected the most popular Super Bowl foods per state by analyzing search volume data from December 2023 to March 2024. Researchers looked at about 1300 food types and around 300 dessert-oriented keywords to determine state-specific preferences, with a focus on search trends leading up to and immediately following the big game. Because Coffeeness gathered information from each state, you can see which foods and desserts are most-liked throughout the country.
Buffalo chicken dip is America’s favorite Super Bowl food by a landslide. The spicy cheese dip was the top-searched dish in 29 states, including Minnesota, South Carolina, and Kansas. Moreover, an overwhelming number of these states are in the northeastern, midwestern, and southern regions. Baked potatoes are the second-most popular food for Super Bowl parties by state count. They specifically reign supreme on the opposite side of the country. Five states—California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Montana—searched for baked potatoes the most. Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi favor fried green tomatoes, the Super Bowl food that claims the third-most states on the map.
