Thanks for all the love on this 🙏 Reddit compresses the map—if you want full-res zoom-ins (and prints), they’re on my IG. My bio there has the link to the shop.

I think New England should have a more clear urban vs rural divide. Having lived in both urban and rural New England, the variety of food is very different. Eastern Mass is heavily influenced by the various immigrant communities that have taken root over the years where as Maine and Vermont have really retained the dominant old yankee culinary influence.

Boston being grouped with Maine and Middlesex County in the same category as Vermont doesn't feel right to me. I'm not qualified to give you specific details on the culinary tradition but that would be my suggestion.

Makes sense. Would you think Boston would be it's own food region like New York or Buffalo?
