Last week's poll winner was barbecue, with 42% of the vote.  Barbecue certainly has distinct regional styles: the mutton of Kentucky, chopped pork, thin vinegar sauce, and mustard sauce of the Carolinas, dry ribs of Memphis, brisket and sausages of Texas, tri-tip of Santa Maria, CA...   Coffee came in last with 2%.  As Starbucks spreads across the country, it seems the Seattle style is becoming the national style.
