This GA Game Day Food Was Just Ranked America's Favorite

On football weekends, stadium parking lots are known for transforming into open-air kitchens where fans can fill up on their favorite tailgate foods before heading into the game.

Streaming schedule service LiveSportsonTV recently surveyed 3,045 football fans nationwide and compiled a ranking of the most beloved game-day dishes served across America’s parking lots.

The result is a list of the top 93 tailgate dishes that hail from numerous states and range from fresh seafood to comfort foods to slow-cooked meats and homemade sauces.

"Tailgate menus are cultural snapshots, showing how local identity, regional flavor and even conference rivalries play out on the plate," the survey authors wrote. "From smoked chicken in Tuscaloosa to salmon sliders in Seattle, America’s fans aren’t just showing up hungry — they’re showing up proud."

As it turns out, America's favorite game day food is served up right here in Georgia.

Coming in at No. 1 on the list was the pulled pork barbecue enjoyed by University of Georgia tailgaters.

On Saturdays in Athens, the air fills with the unmistakable smell of pulled pork smoking low and slow. UGA tailgaters pride themselves on barbecue that’s tender enough to fall apart with a fork, piled high on buns or served with a scoop of tangy slaw," the survey authors wrote. "It’s hearty, messy and best washed down with sweet tea or a cold beer."

The lemon pepper wings served up at Atlanta Falcons tailgates also made the list at No. 21.

"In Atlanta, lemon pepper wings are practically a cultural icon, and Falcons tailgates bring them out in full force. Fans fry or bake the wings until crisp, then toss them in a buttery lemon-pepper sauce that leaves fingers shiny and mouths tingling," the survey authors wrote. "Some swear by the wet, saucy version while others stick with a drier rub, but either way, they’re devoured by the basketful in parking lots outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium."

Here's a look at America's top 10 favorite tailgate foods, according to the survey:

1. Pulled Pork BBQ, University of Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia
2. Chicago-Style Italian Beef Sandwiches, Chicago Bears, Illinois
3. Philly Cheesesteaks, Philadelphia Eagles, Pennsylvania
4. BBQ Brisket Sandwiches, University of Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas
