This popular party dip made second place. Florida loves it in particular — it's number one for that state.

Whether you like your sauce hot or mild, this party snack ranked third. It's the top Super Bowl food for Arizona, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Texas — maybe it's a warm weather favorite? 

It's a midwest type of thing. Both Indiana and Kansas choose tater tots as their most popular Super Bowl food to serve and eat.

Alabama, Kentucky,  Missouri, and Indiana all go for a big bowl of chili while watching the big game. South Carolina also chooses chili first, but only if it's on a hot dog.

Nearly two in five people surveyed said they were planning to eat buffalo wings on Super Bowl Sunday. But while wings might be considered a classic Superbowl food, they actually came in sixth place. They're most popular in Illinois, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. In Rhode Island, they prefer them garlic Parmesan-flavored.

Nevada and Washington state choose hummus as their Super Bowl go-to. And not surprisingly, Seattle ranked as second healthiest Super Bowl city, based on searches for healthy gamed day recipes such as keto, whole 30, and gluten-free. 

California loves nachos, as does New Jersey and Massachusetts, all of whom rank it as their number one Super Bowl food. Of course, nachos go great with most of the five popular game day dips: queso, salsa, guacamole, buffalo chicken, and ranch.

Georgia, Michigan, and Tennessee serve up pigs in a blanket first and foremost as their Super Bowl snack. Ironically, Nashville ranked sixth for healthiest Super Bowl cities, perhaps they are supplementing with a veggie platter? 

Rounding out the top 10 for most popular game day foods is the ubiquitous spinach artichoke dip. However, Louisiana is the only state where this is the most popular app. A number of states prefer queso as dip, such as Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
