>Probably California just because it has multiple mega-cities and produces the most agriculture
This is such a cope, and deliberate misinformation. When people refer to California "agriculture" they're talking about wine, almonds, various fruits and some vegetables. That's it. They aren't talking about beef, or pork, or chickens, or wheat or grains. They aren't talking about milk or dairy.
But yes, this is why fruit salads and organic vegetarian dishes came to prominence first in California instead of say, Texas.

Denver Chili? Foreign food? Outside of Las Vegas and the super high end restaurants in say LA or San Francisco, there really isn't great food out west. The west coast itself isn't extremely horrible, at least not nearly as bad as what you see in Colorado and Mountain States.
The problem, in general, with food out west of the great plains, is that there really isn't much agriculture out there, and all the food has to be shipped from Midwestern farms hundreds of miles away. Californians don't know what fresh corn tastes like, for example. People in Colorado have never eaten a chicken that wasn't raised hundreds of miles away. It is primarily the lack of the availability of fresh foods that makes western food bland.
Yes, in some more rural parts of the Pacific Northwest and California, you can find good farm to table restaurants with high quality, fresh food offerings.

>I moved from MN to Missouri and its a literal shithole.
Kansas City has some of the best barbecue and beef in the world. Not to mention a plethora of delicious farm to table restaurants with all organic meat and vegetables grown at farms within a 30 mile radius of the city. If I had to guess I would say you likely moved to the St. Louis region, and you're basing your opinion off of STL staples like IMO's pizza (shitty but doesn't even cut itself) or toasted raviolis.
