It's Friday afternoon, my day is not even half over yet, and all I can literally think about is what I want to eat for dinner tonight – so I browsed though recipes on Google to decide on what to make. Turns out, I'm not the only one who relies on Google to help with dinnertime decisions.

While looking for food ideas online, I came across a map that revealed which recipe was the most popular in each state. The ever-so scientific calculations of Google Trends are able to break down the country state by state and determine what dinner recipe or meal is the most searched for in each one. I can say that I have never tried to make Colorado's most Googled recipe, but maybe I will try sometime because it sounds delicious and the picture is making me even more hungry.

Check out the full list of most searched recipes by state, and see how the categories of food vary around the country. It's pretty obvious that everyone everywhere loves their chicken – in all forms, Oregon and South Dakota need to expand their palates a bit, and can someone please explain where Wyoming is getting all of their lobster from?
