[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived all over the country and understand some of the threads of seen here about Midwestern in laws. But why? I understand that when our grandparents were raising their kids, canned vegetables were common, and then convenience foods exploded. But there are plenty of older folks and rural areas in the coasts. And plenty of money and wealthier enclaves in the Midwest. Yet with a couple of exceptions like maybe Chicago, the Midwest seems very different to me. And even in Chicago and near Chicago, most places heavily emphasize simple carbs and meat. I don’t think it’s a matter of money or education or age, because like I said, I’ve been to rural/urban/suburban areas all over with a mix of all ages. What do you think?  [/quote]

Chicago has a lot of nice restaurants but MOST of the restaurants and most of the food locals eat is typical boring Midwest fare. Those nice restaurants downtown are expense account swipes, not places local families or Big Ten graduate yuppies are going a couple times a month.[/quote]
Let me guess, you went to Chicago once for a paper pusher’s conference and you truly have no idea what real Chicagoans eat on a daily basis. [/quote]
