Gosh, I love to eat. It's just a fact that food and I will always be best friends. From cooking to consuming, and even the nap afterward, there are few things in life that bring me more joy. At some point in my life I would love to travel the country eating and this list is a great starting point.

Wouldn't you like to eat at the most iconic restaurant in every state?

Thrillist agrees, which is why they created "The Most Iconic Restaurant in Every State" list.
