Check out Aurelio's they do a nice artisan version of a well known frozen pizza
>>7721717
Is that a restaurant or a dish? English is not my first language.
>best places to eat
>flyover land
Idk, your choices are slim though. Probably subway.
Check out Giordano's
Try their Mexican.
Birreria Zaragoza
Cemitas Puebla
Sol de Mexico
maybe even xoco
Giordano's., Gino's East
Eat some delish 'go 'za
>>7721727
The upper midwest literally has the best food in the country

Pottery.
Visit Diego's (or as the locals call it, 'go's) and get yourself an authentic 'go 'za
Budacki's on Damen.
You should make the short drive up to Wisconsin for some world class artisan cheese

This anon is right
>cheap
>filling
>normal, no pretentious weird shit like shrimp with the shells still on or meat with recognizable anatomical features
>deep fried to perfection
>no vegan bullshit like kale or avocados
>no overpriced meme foods like that weeb shit they eat in California
>everything is reassuringly grey or brown like god intended
>I can pronounce it because the words are familiar to me
Anyone who doesn't agree that this is the epitome of dining perfection is obviously trolling or insane, and definitely not American

Do westerners really leave the shells on shrimp in finished dishes?
>>7721941
This right here. I'd definitely suggest wealthy SE Minnesota: the great hospitals bring in cuisine from all over the world.
>>7722026
You are thinking of the lower midwest. The upper midwest is the best of both worlds
You can't visit Chicago without trying their world-famous 'eep 'ish 'go-style 'za
Go to a portillos and get a hot dog with everything on it and a chocolate cake shake.

I don't know what you mean by lower midwest. Chicago is lower midwest to me. Upper is like Duluth or Sault Ste Marie. There are little differences if you want to split hairs, chiefly the accent, but they share similar phobias of foods that don't fall into a narrow spectrum of blandness that relies on frying, salt, pre-processed canned or dried precursors, and grease.
Cue you don't share my point of view so you've never been here....

>goes to chicago
>worried about where to eat
>gets shot by a nigger
>>7722074
Chicago is the border really. Chicago and anything north is the upper midwest, once you get south of the Chicago suburbs you are the lower midwest and people start having southern accents.
But yeah, you obviously do not know what you are talking about so we can move along
>>7722041
In the deep south, yes. There were a lot of shells on shrimp in Southeast Asia too.
>>7722085
So its a poor person who doesn't know better thing?
>>7722074
Do you seriously think Chicago Style Pizza is deep fried? Or is this just a pretending to be retarded situation?
>>7722101
Are you agreeing with me by being sarcastic? How is deep dish pizza not basically a fried doughnut with cheese and tomato on top?
>>7722097
Countries that eat a lot of seafood often have a higher comfort level with stuff like bones, shells, and heads. Unless the shrimp is large and tough, the shell and head carry most of the flavor and removing them ruins the food.

>How is deep dish pizza not basically a fried doughnut with cheese and tomato on top
because it is not fried
>>7722115
If you are preparing it yourself, fine. But if you are paying someone to make the food for you they better remove the shit, hence why it is a poor person thing. In affluent place they can afford to have it prepared properly, poor people do not have that luxury
>>7722116
Would it make babby's feewings less sensitive if we called it confit? These days I think anything can be called confit so sure why not? We can have tomato confit, Napa cabbage confit, onion confit. Why not doughnut confit?
I mean it's not baked, grilled, steamed, sauteed, or braised either.
But a mass of dough cooked in an iron basin filled with hot oil sounds a lot like frying, and that's the most accurate description unless you want to start picking euphemisms
>>7722144
um, pretty sure it is baked
