Minnesota's Favorite Food to Cook on the Grill is Surprising

In the summer we Minnesotans love to grill. I feel like we'll grill just about anything. Does it get us outside on a nice summer day? Perfect. Put it on the grill.

A new study was done by Innerbody that looked at Google Search trends to determine two things:

1. Which states are the most obsessed with grilling.

2. What each state likes to grill the most.

Minnesota is the Most Grill-Obsessed State

Based on Google Searches, Minnesota is the top state for grilling. As we should be!

Wisconsin also made an appearance right behind us as number 2, and then South Carolina, Maine, and New Hampshire round out the top 5.

Minnesota's Favorite Food to Grill

As for WHAT we're grilling, you've got your classics like burgers, brats, steaks, corn, maybe potatoes. But surprisingly enough, none of those are the food that we like to grill the most in Minnesota.

Now, I'd like to argue that maybe this is the food we are most unfamiliar with grilling but we want to learn. In the study it's classifies as being the most popular food we grill, but, again, this is based on how much we Google it. That's why I wonder if it's actually simply because we aren't sure HOW to grill it.

But I digress.

The top grilling food in Minnesota is... green beans?

Don't get me wrong, grilled green beans are delicious. But, you see, that's why I'm convinced this is just us Minnesotans wanting to be a little healthy as we have our steaks going on the grill so we quick Google 'how to grill green beans' so we can throw that on there too.
