Does This Food-By-State Map Look Accurate?
The good folks of I Can Haz Cheezburger make us squee all the time, but it's not always food-related enough to blog here. This map is though! Over on noms.icanhascheezburger.com, they put together a state-by-state breakdown of quintessential regional foods. Fry bread for Arizona; Green Jell-O for Utah. Do you think they picked the right single food to represent each state?Map: Barbecue Contests, Cookouts, and Festivals in the United States
Last week, we shared a national guide to barbecue events in the United States. Though my knowledge of barbecue events is pretty limited, I included as many local events as I could find. But I thought it'd be interesting to open things up to anyone out there. Here's a simple Google map for plotting barbecue events across America. We've made it an open collaboration, so any of you can add to it! And we hope you will.Plan a Road Trip with Southern Foodways Alliance's Oral History Interactive Map

[Maps: Daily Yonder] Daily Yonder, a blog devoted to rural American goings-on, created these fascinating maps about eating habits across the country using the USDA's Food Environment Atlas. It's hard to simplify the data into clear, absolute terms, but in most cases, the higher the fruit and vegetable consumption, the lower the obesity rate. Whoa Colorado, you are a pretty skinny state! Here are just two of the many maps Daily Yonder shares relating to food and health.

[Image: Dagoosh!] If you've ever passed a Subway and thought, "Wait, didn't i just pass one 20 seconds ago?" this map of Subway locations in the U.S. from Dagoosh! won't surprise you. Aside from the lack of a fiery red glow, It doesn't look very different from the McDonald's locations map. The farthest you can be from a Subway is 138 miles, between the towns of Austin and Eureka.

[Map: Weather Sealed] In an attempt to find the most remote piece of wilderness in the lower 48 states, Stephen Von Worley of the blog Weather Sealed created this visualization that represents distances to the nearest McDonald's. Between the tiny Dakotan hamlets of Meadow and Glad Valley lies the McFarthest Spot: 107 miles distant from the nearest McDonald's, as the crow flies, and 145 miles by car!

This pop vs. soda map is circulating again. It's from waaaaaay back, but, funny enough, we've never blogged about it on Serious Eats. Probably because it was way old even when we launched in late 2006. Do you call that brown-sugar-water stuff soda or pop? Or something else entirely? When I was a kid, I remember an older gent at my church urging us youngsters to go get some "fizzler" while there was still some left. Never heard that one before or since. Oh well.

Here's a handy map provided by CNN Money, based on a list released Thursday of the 616 stores closing by the first half of 2009. Starbucks operates 7,087 stores in the United States, so this represents an 8.7 percent drop. Is your Starbucks on its last grinds? If so, what will you do without it? Related R.I.P.
