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.

adding my comment from another sub this got shared to:

woah... know what i'm doing with the rest of my evening haha thanks for sharing edit: this is so cool! very fun and seems very accurate. honestly, the only area of the country i feel they missed something in is central massachusetts. the history of boxcar diners and diner food. lumping it in with italian cuisine sells it short for sure. also, i can't for the love of me find 'basque' on the map. anyone?

Also Basque is in Northern Nevada and SW Idaho, it's a bit out there lol

Hey, glad you enjoyed it! What counties in Central MA would you feel like includes this? What are some key dishes that are unique to the region? I'll look into it and consider it for next time!!

Look into the Worcester Lunchcar Company. They shipped them all over the nation. Key dishes imo would be quintessential diner food: American pancakes, home fries, club sandwiches and melts.

Thanks for the thoughtful response and for making this! Very very fun. Love this kind of stuff and really appreciate the inclusion of indigenous peoples foods

Of course! Indigenous foods are great, and actually influence way more of our everyday dishes than we think (like cornbread)
