It's a rundown of the unusual things that Americans may be grilling for Labor Day, including some of the states we like to visit other than our state of Michigan, which we love. Okay. First of all, if you're in our state of Michigan, what are we grilling the most? Hot dogs. It says burgers and baked beans are our side. Who in Michigan is bringing our average down by grilling baked beans? If it's hot dogs isn't number one, it's number two. Yeah. That's my favorite thing off a girl. I don't mind baked beans, actually, like them, but I almost never make them. No, I don't. I'll eat them, but my grandma will make them or my mom, but like I don't think that I've ever prepared baked beans. Ever. No, I was going to say I get hamburgers. That makes sense. In Alaska, moose burgers are number four, followed by grilling up salmon and halibut. That's terrible Montana. Alaska. Alaska, sorry. What's it? I mean, I do like salmon, but if I'm in those moose burgers. I'm in Alaska. I want King crab legs on the grill.

Oh, my next door neighbor. Yeah, I've done it. In a pot of water. Well, I mean, if you cook them in a pot of water and they're all done and then you put them on the grill just to make them hot and kind of have that grill. Yeah, they're pretty good. I've done it before. Okay. Yeah. So my new next door neighbor came over the other day to give me like her cell phone number and email and all that stuff. And she said that she is going on and the last can cruise. She is there now. And so I told her, oh, you got to go to Tracy's crab shack. Yeah, look up the picture of where we went. And she said that's actually the first place that we're going to be going. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So they're renowned. You got a country. I don't know how to make this happen. I might scrap all of our past ideas just to make that happen. My, uh, I feel like you're true happiness. You'll experience when you're sitting with me and Chelsea at a picnic table under a heating lamp and freezing cold, awful, terrible rainy cold Alaska eating hot crab legs and butter on a dock. I want to do that. I want to do that. So good.

You know what that reminds me of? What's that? Uh, we used to go to Boyne Mountain in the winter. Yeah. And sit in the hot tub while the snow fell down. There's nothing better outside of hot tub. So I get that. That's a vibe. Why? What should our executive producer work on a, um, Disney cruise for us? Yes. Oh no, it's hard to get in that stuff. Don't we got to make sure we give some trips away. And all we still ever went to Dollywood. And I feel like we've got to go to Dollywood. We still have to do that. Um, and Florida, they're grilling gator. Is that really, are they really doing that? Or it just sounds like a Florida thing? Because that doesn't sound right. So here's what I think about that. I'm sure it's happening. But that can't be what the bulk of the state is. No, no, no. These are the unusual things being grilled in these states. So in Florida, you would find that whereas in Michigan, you would not. Right. Grilled fesit in South Dakota. Oh, poor fesit. They do love a burger too. Uh, grilled bison and Wyoming, elk steak in Montana makes sense. Yeah. Um, in Maine, they're doing grilled fiddle heads.

What in the heck are those? I don't know, but why aren't they doing lapser rolls? Can't grill those? Yeah, they were lapser rolls. Yeah, of course. Maybe that's the norm though. These are the unusual. Um, they say this one is especially odd because it's a vegetable rather than a meat. Fiddle heads are the young, curled shoots of certain ferns. Oh, in New Mexico, roasted green chilies. Yes. Delaware has grilled blue crab. That's probably fantastic. California has Santa Maria style barbecue, which I just googled what that means. It features beef grilled over red oak coals. I don't know how different that is than how we grill. It must affect the flavor. Chelsea, would you like to go to Colorado and enjoy Rocky Mountain Oesters? No, say no, say no. What? What? You tried new things? Don't do it. What are Rocky Mountain Oesters? They're, um, they can only come from males. Okay. No, nothing. Bulls. You don't want to eat those. Now I do not want to eat those. Is that what he was saying? Oh, the Colorado Rocky Mountain High?

I'm really worried. I'm never worried about it. I worry about it. Everything sounds good to eat. Sure. We're starving. What do you got?
