States by Food: The United Plates

How adorable/awesome are these? … maybe Colorado’s is a little less awesome. But there is a Denver Omlette, so it makes sense. John Holcomb is, either way, a genius. Here for the rest of the fiddy states and to order prints (just $30!). [Thanks DailyCandy for the heads up!]
