Your State’s Favorite TV Food Show

By Steve Safran 

What’s your favorite food show on TV? Kitchen Nightmares? Top Chef Masters? Cutthroat Kitchen? With Thanksgiving coming up, the folks at cabletv.com have crunched the numbers and have come up with a list of each state’s top food TV show. With their permission, we’re sharing the details.

As cabletv.com points out, there are some hometown favorites. DC’s favorite is DC Cupcakes. (I can vouch for their awesome cupcakes personally.) My home state of Massachusetts goes for America’s Test Kitchen, shot just outside of Boston. But West Virginia, we need to talk: Hotel Hell?

Check out the map, and the list below. Agree? Disagree? Let us know.
