America is facing its share of division in politics and culture, but if there’s one thing we can agree on, it’s that brunch is amazing. My go-to brunches at home are whatever greasy leftovers we have on hand from the night before or a pleasant combination of literally every kind of breakfast potato with a side of fruit (and lots of coffee, of course).
But if I go out to brunch, I go all out, and according to a recent infographic from the folks at Pinterest, I’m not alone. They looked at searches and saved pins to see what people in each state love the most for brunch that may not be a hit elsewhere in the country. And some of the results were not what I expected!

New York is wild over something called breakfast risotto, which honestly I’m not sold on, but it’s not surprising considering their robust restaurant culture. I’ll just be over here in California brunchin’ on farmers market figs, OK?
