What does West Virginia have to offer?

A state with character that spans three regions of the country — Midwest, South, Mid-Atlantic — West Virginia offers flavors that reflect them all, but each with an accent all its own.

W​hat​​ s​hould I eat in West Virginia?

Italian food is particularly good in the northeast part of the state, which is home of the pepperoni roll (bread baked around spicy beef sticks). Up in the panhandle around Wheeling, some of the region’s most celebrated fish sandwiches are served. That’s also where you will find first-rate examples of rare Ohio Valley (aka Steubenville) pizza, which gets baked before its toppings are added. West Virginia is arguably the home of the Dixie dog: a hot dog topped with ground beef chili sauce and cole slaw.
