39. Alabama
Every other state in the U.S is convinced they make the best barbecue, and so do Alabamians. But they are also famously known for their warm, Southern hospitality, so they just might be right about the best barbecuing skills, if you add to it their hospitality skills and top it off with their famous sweet tea (which is more sugar than tea).
The song goes, “sweet home Alabama” since everyone who steps in Alabama immediately feels at home. Maybe it’s the warm hospitality that we mentioned, and maybe it’s because Alabamians are not as pretentious as other states. Take this fellow, for example, and his innovative chair-boat, though it seems too small for having guests, it seems inviting nonetheless, and it carries the pride of the Alabama Crimson Tide.
