If you've ever taken — or dreamed of taking — a road trip across America, food was probably a big factor in your planning process. It's important to make sure you get your fill of all the classics — like beignets in New Orleans and hot dogs in Chicago — as you cross this vast country.

America is home to many wonderful and varied food cultures, but you don't have to leave home to get the full smorgasbord of experiences. We've pulled together some of our favorites dishes from all over, so you can savor the many flavors that this country has to offer without leaving your kitchen. And, with the American Road Trip collection from Provisions, you can order products — we've included our favorites here — from all over the country, made by artisans specializing in local fare.

Americana has never looked so tasty.
