North Dakota

Want a side of defibrillator with your meal? Try Pitchfork Steak Fondue, a North Dakota prairie specialty that involves a massive rib eye getting dunked in a boiling cauldron of oil. From June to September, the deep-fried meat gets served with potatoes and vegetables (what are those?) on a picnic table overlooking the expansive badlands. It might not be healthy, but then again, who cares? Most of the famous cowboys died of bullet wounds long before heart disease could set in. Meal: $25.50 per person
