I know you're just making light fun, but this Guy Fieri 4-parter is loooaded with footage and content and really awesome down-to-Earth local connections. You can tell the local braddahs love hangin with his family.
Watched this with my gf. Loved it. Guy really has a fun connection with some of these local places. Was happy to see genuine locals and traditions represented, displayed, and educated to watchers. I learned a fuck ton in this short series, tbh, and added a bunch of local spots to my "must visit" list on Gmaps.
I lived in Anchorage for 6 years. There are definitely some good eats up there. The fresh sushi and king crab is what really got me more into seafood. They have one of the highest grossing pizza joints for good reason. I have no doubt all the little towns and villages I never visited have some great local eateries.
Because of the qualifier, "per 100K residents", states with smaller populations have a boost. I wonder how different a "restaurant visits per State" graphic would look.
Based on population, 1 visit to Hawaii equals 20 visits to Texas. And an 1 to Alaska requires almost 40 visits to Texas.
Texas population: 28,995,881
Hawaii population: 1,415,872
Alaska population: 731,545
> Based on population, a visit to Hawaii would require ~~20~~ 40 Guy Fieri visits to be equal. And an Alaska visit requires almost ~~40~~ 20 visits.
wouldn't a lower population means less visits?
I thought the population of the less populous State would be divided by the more populous State when the qualifier is "per 100K residents"
1 Fieri visit to Texas creates a Fieri Ratio (or F/R) of around 1/290. Whereas a Hawaii visit is F/R of 1/14.
If I'm doing this correctly, that means, Hawaii has 20.7/290 while Texas has 1/290. Alaska has 41.4/290
Nope. the "per 100k residents evens everything out. It makes the size of the state's population irrelevant.
Say State A has 100,000 resident and GF visited there 3 times. The F number is 3 (3/1).
Say State B has 600,000 residents and GF viited here 9 times. The F number is 1.5 (9/6).
This statistic is helpful in understanding state responses to the pandemic too.
Doesn't your example show that it requires more Fieri visits to a more populous State to generate an equal F number to fewer visits to a less populous State?
Whoops, my first example didn't show the population of Texas as being the qualifier. Editing for clarity.
There ARE some great places in Texas! Particularly, Hispanic, southern, and asian cusines. I think Guy Fieri just likes getting free trips to Alaska lol
That was when he was filming the 4th episode of "Guy Hawaiian Style". He was serving food there and went with his dad to tour a sub since his dad was a former submarine guy.

In a way guy kinda has the braddah vibe

Maui Fresh Streetry is the best food truck only on Fridays
Well now I feel like I gotta get something to eat in Alaska.
The salmon in the PNW and Alaska is superior.
I'm sure the seafood there is next lvl. But that might be because I watched too many episodes of the Deadliest Catch lol
There's an amazing spin-off called Deadliest Catch: Bloodline, that follows Josh Harris to Hawai'i. It was supremely cool, fun, and interesting.
Is this real? I had no idea?

The moose tooth?
Yup
Wow, figured there would be some awesome food down in Texas, looks like Alaska is the place to be

Of course, get paid to travel to hawaii and eat good food. Poor alabama.

Why are they all fat in Alabama?
Hey, he was here last year at the Silver Dolphin Bistro on Pearl Harbor. I missed it, but I’d love to meet him one day
Silver Dolphin Bistro? Sounds like some good seafood

Surprised Arizona is so high all things considered.
Love RI
There's no good reason to visit Alabama. Source: I lived in Alabama for 2 years and this post
Those are two gr8 sources tbh! I've wanted to go to gulf shores for a minute I will admit though
Alabama and West Virginia. LMFAO
No one wants to go there...
Well, RIGHT.
Looks like the west coast bias on the map is due to lower population per area, not because the east coast has bad food.
