Why do some states have like three officials foods, and Arizona doesn’t even have one? This state is awesome. We deserve an official state food.
My push to have one designated starts now. I’ve got some ideas, but I’m sure Tucson Weekly readers have even better ones. You can hit me up on Facebook with any suggestions.
While you’re figuring out what it should be, I’ll be figuring out how to navigate the process of getting it officialy declared the state food. This will give me a chance to contact my local and national representatives, which is good. I have a few other things I want to discuss with them anyway.

All good suggestions…but what about Eegee’s now that they are in Phoenix too?
Eegee’s sucks. We will be the laughing stock of all other 49 states if that sorry excuse for a hoagie represents us.
Has to be
– Sonoran Dogs
– Chile Con Carne
– Tamales
– chipotle barbque
– Anything Jano makes.
Or those Jalapenos stuffed with cheese (and sometimes shrimp) and wrapped in bacon.
Thats my vote
