And underrated thing about the midwest - every other small town has a bar that you can roll into any Friday and Saturday night and get a prime rib dinner for $14.99 that beats the fuck out of any steak you'll find in the south.

Is Midwestern food better than southern food?

That's in Kent England? English food sucks Doc. I like to cook Prime Rib myself, and watch the in laws revolt in horror from all the pink.
Sorry for my limited Midwest locales, but Michigan doesn't have that where I go. These bars do usually have a nice fat greasy burger though that I appreciate very much. I like a smash burger every once in awhile, but every f'n where is doing them now. I appreciate being able to find something like an old school burger all around Northern Michigan. I wish I ran into Prime Ribs up there.
I forgot theres people that consider Michigan ‘Midwest’ until reading this. Thank you
What are the borders? It isn't yankee country up there. More rednecks in Michigan than Georgia haha.
No one knows.
I think most Nebraskans would say West border of Nebraska Kansas to the east border of Cockeye.
I like to think of the armadillo line (where you stop seeing a dead armadillo every mile on the side of the road) as the boundary between south and north and then the north border of South Dakota as the Midwest.
Realistically it definitely goes further east than that though
I'm North of the Armadillo line, although probably not for long. East part of State they are all over up into Virginia now. As a Southerner, Ohio feels firmly in Midwest to me.
Ohios a tricky one. The west half of ohio feels 100% midwest. The east part of ohio feels like a mix between Hillbilly WV and Pittsburgh
Also, that KY border bleeds Northward.
Man thats true, Ohio is really just a ocean peninsula full of rich people and methy crazy people away from being mini-america but then again I guess thats how I would describe Cleveland
I really like Cincinnati though. I'm a huge fan of all the different variations of Chili dogs there. I love Dixie Chili the most probably. I also like getting a great lamb gyro and cheese coney from same guy in a market. City is run down, and I kind of like that as well.
Cincinnati is an awesome town. Goetta is basically boudin with oats instead of rice. The revamped area around the river are legit but plenty of crappy areas too. Skyline chili is a solid fourth meal.
I make four meals with those little dogs. 3 cheese coneys and a small 5 way.
Acadian Grill in Omaha is unbelievable Cajun food.
Honestly to me nothing can ever beat:
- Freaking good Pizza
- A cheese Runza on GameDay, or any other day
- Sushi
- Cajun food
- Chicken wings
I love all that too. Maybe even Runza, just never had. I'm a pizza snob. I love my town's best pizza, but it isn't great. Love sushi, wings (naked wit sauce on side), actually grew up with cajuns (called themselves coon asses), but yeah. I need to try Runza.
Interesting discussion regarding the borders of the Midwest. As a sidebar, IMO Nebraska fits into the Great Plains much better than the Midwest (whatever that is). I’ve also found that small towns in the Great Plains more often serve Prime Rib on the weekends than places in Cockeye or Indiana. More ranches, fewer farms.
Anyway, carry on.
Anyway, carry on.
Acadian Grill is great but Fork and Hammer in Plattsmouth was my favorite. Lived outside of Plattsmouth when it closed. It was a sad day
heheHEEEE the fork & hammer is what Nancy & I used to call nap time on Sundays end zone
Oh man, I’d never thought of the Great Plains like a region
Now I’m half retarded so take this with a grade of slaw but I’ve always thought of the Great Plains as the west half of the Midwest. Kind of like the Great Lakes are just part of the north and not a region
