Basically, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, northern Indiana and Michigan are the real midwest

Ohio is its own thing that no one wants to be associated with

Student in Chicago here.

This is gonna be my last year in the city before I move back home. I've been deciding to do a big restaurant tour before I leave.

One of my friends in class has been recommending that I try out some of the filipino food in the city, I need to take her up on that.

I just recently had Kuma's, and god damn, that was a good burger. Lair of the Minotaur is now my husbando.

Interesting stance. I consider cali as west and anything in the middle between the coasts as midwest. Texas is deep south, it's south as fuck and smack dab mid country. I'm speaking only in geographic terms. I mean midwest literally means halfway west, and west ends at cali.

No, I don't know what you mean and there is no technically. The midwest is a vast region. If you break it down into subcategories, then you'd get the lake states and the great plains, etc. But in overall context, Nebraska is as midwest as Illinois and Iowa.
