I've lived in Nebraska my entire life and I'm critical of a lot of food around here. Namely the patronage to chain restaurants and fast food and being largely skeptical of anything that isn't bland really limits the dining and grocery scene here. That makes discovering new things even better though.

I grew up on the coast but lived in a few different midwestern states for several years as an adult. I guess it must have been about 5 or 6 years total.

As you flyovers like to say, at least you're not the south. And people are pretty easily impressed by the most ordinary things. Like if you say you've been to some country that isn't Mexico or Canada. But don't push things too far - if you cook a dish made with ingredients not known to the average American in the 1960s, they'll say something polite but you can tell it really freaked them out. And the drinking scene is basically beer, brown liquor, and vodka (but this last only if you're a woman). Some people drink wine but it's considered pretentious, and the wine selection isn't very good.

Also, the obesity rate is staggering. My brother, who lives in flyover, sent me some candid pictures he took in a public place in one of the allegedly healthier states in the Midwest, but nonetheless, most people in the background were at least moderately overweight. You don't really notice it if you do something non-flyover like cycling or walking or some such thing, because the hambeasts are all at Applebees inhaling HFCS, but if you go to something more populist, like an amusement park or a popular music conert or something like that, you really see it. They're just so goddamm fat.

My old job had me travel to most of the US and I've always made it a point to get to know the locals to some degree.

The Middle and Roseanne seem like the most accurate television portrayals of average Midwesterners I've ever seen: white trash, can't/don't cook, yet still hardworking and generally good people.

This does not, however, apply to Minnesota, Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan, which I think should really be separated out from the rest of the Midwest. That's not to say those snownegroes can actually cook: their culinary abilities tend to be just as abysmal as the rest of the Midwest, but they're culturally distinct from them nonetheless and are generally better educated and not as trashy.

Ohio is by far the shittiest part of the Midwest.

There's nothing strange about it. The area now known as the east coast was for most of our history the only part of the country that mattered, since all the whites lived there. They pushed west, and what we call the midwest is midway to the far west. Remember what we call the "old west" included places like colorado and utah since those were really far west, especially before railroads.

It's like how "oriental" used to mean the levant, and now means japan.

Did you not study any history? Where are you from?

It's because subconsciously, racist people think "mexican" is an insult because they tend to speak derisively of all these goddamm dirty mexicans in private. So they feel they need to say something to "soften" the racial stuff and since they are generally clueless about race relations and completely forget that "mexican" is actually the correct word, they think "oh well they speak spanish so I'll just call 'em spanish"

There's a bit of this with other hispanics on the east coast though, and the hispanics themselves make it worse because they're racist as fuck and they like to brag that they're pure spanish even though it's obvious to anyone looking that they're more african than idi amin and robert mugabe combined. And then non-hispanics get wind of this and default to saying "spanish" for a variety of stupid reasons.

What are the politics like in the midwest? Which way do they swing? Poop eating homosexual liberals or God created burgers Conservatives?

[Anonymous No.6842214]

The reason the midwest sucks so bad is this:

Most of the initial population here in the late 1800s and early 1900s were German immigrants. Their culture was raped when WASPs from the East Coast not only banned alcohol (beerhalls were quite central to German community, family life, and social events), but even outlawed things as simple as saeurkrat during the decades around WW1.

If you take away the things that make a culture its culture, you kill that area. This made the midwest more ripe for the introduction commodity culture of the early to mid 20th century than other places. It also didn't have a lot of other immigrant groups moving in. Only African-Americans, and they were much to poor to contribute all that much.

The midwest will continue to be fucked as long as the baby boomers are around and millennials flee to the meme states of the early 21st century.

Just being honest, but beer in the midwest is pretty GOAT. KC BBQ sucks dick compared to Memphis though, and I'll say that as a former resident of KC ( now Wichita).

Other than that, we're kind of fucked on unique things. Indiana fags like to claim muh pork sammich, KC likes to claim muh bbq, and Chicago likes to claim a lot of things that no one really gives a fuck about. Chicago is a shithole.

Yes. The problem is not the farms. Some of the best meat and produce in the country is grown there. The problem is the culture. Being a "regular guy" and liking "normal" things is a cultural value there. So you have all these people with access to great ingredients from Amish and Hmong farmers eating shit from Kraft and General Mills because having better than lowbrow taste seems uppity to them.

Sad as fuck.

But they make good beer, because that's a "normal" thing for them.

That being said you can find places there where "normal" still means something good, whether it's Polish food in Hamtramck, Pasties in the UP, whitefish from Lake Superior or the last gasps of German/Scandinavian food heritage. But most of what you find there is truly awful chain restaurants and the worst of supermarket tier food.

>2 Safer towns which still have local business (if that's your cup of tea)

Also somewhat true, if you're further west in the Midwest. The Great Lakes suck for crime.

I love the Midwest. Grew up there. Moved to Kansas City in '04 then Hartford CT in '12.

I like Iowa pork chops and tenderloins and loose-meat sandwiches and that strip-cut pizza from the Quad-Cities. I like Chicago-style deep dish / stuffed pizza. I like Chicago-style hot dogs. I like tater tot casserole.

I also like NYC and CT pizza. I like the big Italian grinders you can get here. I like the homey Italian restaurants. I like hot dogs from Capitol Lunch and Blackie's in CT, George's in Worcester MA. I like all the Polish delis and restaurants. I like taking a trip down to NYC for an awesome variety of food.

I like it all. And if you're so closed-minded that you condemn the cuisine of a whole region, or city, or whatever, especially without trying it - or if your palate is so inflexible that you can't love new tastes - then I feel nothing but pity for you.

[Anonymous No.6843160]

Also I'll mention that I grew in Davenport, Iowa. I would call it a great place to raise a family. It's part of a four-city metro area that is sleepy by NYC standards but it's certainly alive.

All the people in this thread babbling / trolling about the shitty areas or shitty people they saw... I know this is 4chan and everyone focuses on the negative, and it's in vogue to claim everything is shit, blah blah blah, but if we have an actual honest discussion: there are good and bad areas everywhere. It depends on how you yourself choose to live, and who you choose to associate with. I lived 18 years in Iowa and it was an absolutely fine place to grow up. I had a good family, good friends, and a good life, and I was firmly middle-class. This does exist for people, you know.

The whole "Chicago pizza vs NY pizza" thing is mostly just a Chicago thing. We don't really care in NY, I actually love Chicago pizza and try to have some whenever I'm there for work, which is a few times a year. Chicago just has a massive (and well justified) inferiority complex so by constantly reminding everyone that they have different pizza, they feel it helps them stay relevant in the food world.

It's also important to note that when you actually ask someone from Chicago for their favorite Chicago pizza place they fly off the handle and rant about how no one really eats deep dish and it's for "dumb tourists" (they feel strongly that a Skokie flyover differs fundamentally from a Chicago flyover).

So in one moment they'll be raging about plastic joke vomit non-Chicago pizza, and in the next they'll change their mind and say "real" Chicago pizza is basically the same as NY pizza but worse.

[Anonymous No.6843207]

Not that guy but California has some of the best and worst of everything. You can find areas where the food scene is indistinguishable from the worst flyover shit hole, and you can find areas where that's not the case at all. When people say "California cuisine" they don't mean the Denny's on some highway between Vegas and LA.

There's also a lot of industrialized agriculture, same as the midwest, but also a few pockets of (insert buzzword here) small quality-oriented farming operations. And while there may be some of that in the midwest, midwesterners are generally too gripped by fear to try anything new, whether that means new vegetables, new techniques, or new recipes. So California ends up naturally advantaged in that sense: great ingredients (if you want them), and great food (if you care to pay for it, which you will, oh yes you will).

Personally I do not care for the cager culture which is why I would not want to live there (except maybe Palo Alto where I've lived before... cycling is allowed there). But food wise, it's a pretty decent place to live, if you don't mind being surrounded by cages.

It kinda is weird to have to drive everywhere you want to go. Postwar America gave us all kinds of weird shit, like drive thrus, so you can eat in your fucking car. That shit isn't right.

I've lived in places where I was dependent on a car to get anywhere. Would never do it again. Lack of street level goings on makes a place terminally boring. That's why the suburbs are wastelands and cities like Chicago and LA aren't half as cool as they could be. I understand if you live in some beautiful rural area and have to hop in the truck to get to town, but short of that being dependent on a car is weird, unless you're disabled.

I've lived in and around the Milwaukee Metro area in Wisconsin for 20+ years. Yes there's every midwest stereotype in as far as foods go, but there's also lots of variety and less pretense for those who look for it. In as far as restaurants, There's a good variety of various ethnic styles and you can get a good meal for a decent price. Yea, you'll see meme chain establishments, but if you take the time and do some research, you'll find some real gems of restaurants and specialty grocery stores from a wide variety of ethnic groups, not to mention some real old school European(not just german, polish and italian) delis and butcher shops. I'm still finding shops and eateries that have apparently been around for generations.

For me, I love this area because you can find all these things and yet the pace of life is still more relaxed than say.. Chicago.

When you leave the Milwaukee area though, things kind of turn to the dark ages. I lived up north Wisconsin, for instance as a child and the selection there for groceries was extremely limited to almost bare necessities and the ethnic aisle in stores was like taco shells and nacho cheese. Restaurants up north were pretty much all diners, MAYBE a "greek" places here and there, with the odd dinner club dotting the landscape if you wanted anything approaching fine cuisine.

One more thing: Friend of mine came to visit from New Mexico and asked me what the deal is with fish fries on Friday. I guess it's something I hadn't really thought about but Friday Fish fries are a big thing here.

motherfucker reporting in from the ohio river valley. We got a lot of rednecks, but great ass cheap food. We have a lot of pride in the food we me. Cincinnati has great food, Indianapolis is ok I guess, and all the other states are good. Wisconsin, when I visit family there, has some of the best damn dairy you will ever have.

Neither Atlanta nor Chicago are relevant, and Los Angeles is usually misinterpreted as having city status because Paris Hilton tweets about it a lot

You can't really measure a city's cultural relevance by its air traffic, otherwise places like Dubai and Guangzhou would be classified as Alpha++ Global Cities

Chicago just happens to be a convenient hub for the even more podunk towns across the great plains. Yeah, if you take 30 million people and scatter them across an area the size of Australia they're gonna need an international airport, and Chicago is it.

Is it really so bad that they'll learn what authentic cuisines are later on in life? I'd rather my kids went to good schools and lived in a relatively safe neighborhood. If the Midwest has that, then I'm in.

If food's the only reason you wouldn't want to raise your kids there, I'd question your desire to have kids at all.
