America's favorite summer recipes, region by region

Ever wonder if your regional neighbors are grilling up the same dishes you are? Growing up in the Midwest, my childhood summers were filled with grilled corn and chicken, and topped off with fruit cobbler. But what are popular, seasonal dishes in other regions?

As Epicurious' official data and research analyst, I wanted to find out.

I was able to pull the most popular Epicurious recipes by US regions during the summer months, resulting in the infographic above. It seemed natural the South would be pretty into BBQ and grilling, and East Coasters would be looking for seafood recipes -- but I also found some common ground: Americans in all states like chicken, corn on the cob, garlic dill pickles, a patriotic Fourth of July flag cake, and, of course, a Moscow Mule to top it off!

Tell us where youre from and what your favorite summer recipes are in the comments.
