 Now if you had beef hot dogs, or you're going to grill some burgers or steaks, the beef probably came from Texas. And if not there, either Nebraska or Kansas. And if you're barbecuing chicken, that likely came from the South. The top broiler producing states are Georgia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas. Now for side dishes, the baked beans probably came from North Dakota. Now the lettuce was most likely grown in California.
