Alabama: Ole Hickory Banana Pudding
Southerners reserve bragging rights for all things barbeque, so it's hard to discern what's iconic from just plain good—but in the case of Ole Hickory BBQ, its banana pudding puts Alabama on the map. Fresh cut bananas. Vanilla wafers. Meringue. And of course, the custard. People swear it's just like the kind Meemaw would make—if Meemaw was a world-class chef.
