All 50 States in America Ranked

You might be surprised to see where Michigan ranks during "America Week" based on all-around awesomeness.

What exactly is Thrillist?  "It’s pretty simple, actually. We're obsessed with everything that’s worth caring about in food, drink, and travel. Do you care deeply about staying on top of the best burger joints, steakhouses, dive bars, cocktail lounges, clubs, concerts, and festivals where you can throw tomatoes at your friends’ faces really hard in cities all over the world? It's all here."

Thrillist just named Michigan the #1 BEST STATE!  Muahaha

Because it's America Week, Thrillist decided to rank all 50 states based on everything.  "More specifically, their contributions to America, so think inventions, food/drink, somewhat productive famous people, unique physical beauty, etc."

The website considers Michigan a hidden gem.  "Did you know Michigan has more coastline than any state other than Alaska? Did you know it has such an embarrassment of beer riches that you can easily hit Bell’s and Founders in the same afternoon? Did you know the UP is so remote and uniquely beautiful that it almost feels like a secret 51st state where they inexplicably love British meat pies?"

I'm proud to say I'm a resident of Michigan! :)
