While sports fans will be hunkered down in front of the TV to catch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, many others will be more focused on the kitchen from which the savory scents and salty flavors of game day delights will be wafting.

Google Trends released data on the most-searched dips by state and across the nation.

While a cheesy dish is usually a go-to on game day, according to Google, most of the gooey dips will be eaten in four states, while fruit, artichoke and dill dips continue to be fan favorites. Along the coast, seafood dips are a must-have.

For Georgia and our neighbors to the west, the preference is spinach dip. You can make this warm collard green dip with chives for a twist on the classic dish.
