As a Wisconsinite, I would really suggest you visit Madison. We have (possibly) the most restaurants per capita and a huge variety of cuisines represented.

We also have a huge emphasis on farm-to-table, locally sourced ingredients, etc. Not to mention the cheese... sausage... and incredible craft beer scene.

Wisconsin and Minnesota both have decent food scenes. We embrace the meat and potatoes shit but also have a ton of other stuff

Milwaukee is good too!

> Tour one of many breweries located in the city (Pabst, Milwaukee Brewing Company, Lakefront Brewery, Miller, among others)

What's food in NZ like?

>>8956494
Sweet. I'm moving to Madison, WI to live with my girlfriend. Really looking forward to eating some top-notch grub tbqh.

>>8956518
Got some of the best dairy and meat in the world.
Even our McDonalds (which takes pride in saying it uses our local ingredients) tastes nothing like what normal McDonalds tastes like.
by god our McDonalds is good

>>8956540
>tastes nothing like what normal McDonalds tastes like.
But this is literally the point of mcdonalds

Wisconsinites seem to think their state is a lot better than it actually is. Definition of flyover.

>>8956552
ignore the fact that it has the most unique cuisine/ethnic makeup of any other state in the Midwest and sure

>>8956556
>the midwest
congrats for winning the special olympics

>>8956560
ok ty

Wisconsin and Minnesota are really quite different from typical midwest food. They've held to their roots more and carry a lot of unique elements. True midwest like KS, MO, OK, NE, IN, OH are literal shitholes for food and that's the true midwest.

>>8956592
Whatever makes you feel special.

Never had a worse time on the road than when I had to drive through Wisconsin.

>>8956600
It's just all the FIBs

>>8956600
this, so much this. I go through Wisconsin a lot. One of the shittiest experiences you could have, no gas stations (if there are, then some dirt hole), no data out there, shit radio stations, the scenery isn't good at all

I certainly will! I really want to check out some of those state fairs to, fuck me uuuuup

>What's food in NZ like?
Pretty great, the only intensively raised meats we do are chicken and pork, even then they're not corn fed. Corn fed is just not really a thing here. you can get corn fed chicken but its at a premium (its an organic free range brand im pretty sure.) We don't import a hell of a lot and its very easy to eat locally grown stuff, and everything we have in the supermarket is in season at that time. We do have a relatively high cost of living which is an issue when it comes to buying groceries. Our meat is first class, especially our lamb. I should know kek

however the food scene can be relatively lacking, theres not a huge amount of diversity. Mexican isnt a widely spread thing like it is in the us. (Our version of mexican would be indian, its fucking everywhere. I miss taco bell from the one time I had it when I went to sf/lv/la)

USA has so many pop ups, mom and pop places and for the 'gram places that theres a huge variety. nz isnt like that, new places rarely open.

we have cheese rolls tho, those are great. (Also like one of the only regional delicacy nz has, its a southy thing)

>>8956540
Americans have the sausage and egg mc griddles and I will also envy them for that. I remember when we got them for those two short weeks as a promo and by god they were fucking amazing.

>>8956634
If you like cheese rolls you're in for a treat in Wisconsin.

>>8956527
Nani's for dim sum, Thai Basil for decent thai. Madison has a lot of good restaurants, but also a toooon of your typical trash hole in the wall joints.

>>8956552
>seem to think their state is a lot better than it actually is
Oh, do they constantly rage about flyovers?

>>8956552
I love you too

>>8956444
Sure come over, we'll get hammered too

t. Wisconsinite

Our traditional "regional cuisines" are great. Can't be eaten all the time or you'll be a late ass. Unless you're one of those guys who work their ass off. But yeah, it's pretty great.

Also a Wisconsin guy, didn't know /ck/ had so many.

>>8956556
>Bunch of Swedes and Somalians living together
>Unique

Good one.

>>8957022
Never met a single Somalian in Wisconsin. We're all white (and usually Scandi or Irish) outside of Milwaukee.

>>8957038
Ah shit I was thinking of Minnesota, my bad.

I'm not sure what flyover foods are, thought they were casseroles (or hot dish to Minnesotans) or why a WI burger would be considered one of them.

Also, get a butter burger at Solly's at least once before you die.

>>8957051
Yeah we actually have more lakes than them as well but y'know they'll get a bit buttfrustrated if we point out Wisconsin has way more lakes than they do even though they're "the land of ten thousand lakes"

I love the north shore though, that shit is top tier.

>>8957059
Wisconsin's definition of a lake is a lot smaller than Minnesota's. Most of your lakes are our ponds

>>8957198
Christ, here we go. Who has the most lakes and biggest lakes? Reminds me of the dick measuring in gym showers in middle school.

>>8957274
Kids had more dicks than others?

>>8957282
>Wisconsin's definition of a lake is a lot smaller than Minnesota's.

Like middle school comparisons of dick size in gym showers. Not quantity of dicks.

Here's Ohio

>>8956556
Except Michigan and yes, Michigan is flyover

>>8957309
You brought it up ya cheese gobbling bitch

>>8957022
Minnesota is Swedes and Somalis. Wisco is Germans and Laotians dummy

>experience real America
Be prepared to witness a lot of corn fields

>>8957509
it'll be something different from all the sheep

>>8956540
>by god our McDonalds is good
No it isn't. Your standards are just so low from eating hot dish and Toppers pizza with ranch dressing that McDonald's seems delicious by comparison.

>>8956444
Why is "real" America the flyover parts? I don't think there's anything more real about the Midwest than there is about California and NYC.

>>8957737
Because most people in NYC and california are transplants who have no real American indentity and usually don't want to.

>>8957737
Because california and new york city may be full of people, but they don't have many Americans in them.

>>8957758
>random maniac drives into a crowd
>the only people killed or seriously injured are tourists from flyover states

nope, no americans at all

>>8957737
It's an accepted fact that those who live on the coasts are a burden and actively pursue interests that could be best described as "un-american."

>>8956494
Screw that noise, come to Milwaukee instead. You can go to Comet cafe and then see punk bands in some shithole in river west.

>>8957770
I didn't know China was a flyover state

>>8957789
This is a retarded point of view. But OP should actually go to the coasts for food. I've lived in flyover states, NorCal, and NYC, and there's nothing in any of the flyover states that you can't get better on the coasts. I could see going to the flyovers if you're genuinely interested in things they have to offer (Utah/Wyoming/Montana have nice national parks). But for food? Senseless.

>>8957822
The only thing I'd go back to the coast for is seafood. Everything else is easily replaced in any other decent sized city

>>8957834
I don't think so. NYC has every type of food, and a lot of variations on most types of food. I could never find a decent ramen place in Salt Lake City. How many Jewish delis are in Madison?

>>8957326
Not true. In fact, landscape generalizations are hard to make about OH. West: true. Flat and nothing. East is nowhere close to only fields, and there are even north/south divide differences.

Good food in the three C cities though.

t. 26 year veteran

>>8957842
I guarantee you could find a good ramen place in salt lake city bro. As for Jewish deli, overpriced okay sandwiches. New York isn't that great. It's okay.

>>8957758
People in New York and California are generally happier to identify as New Yorkers or Californians because it's generally seen as better than just being an American, which can be embarrassing.

>>8957875
I went to every ramen place in SLC and they were all mediocre at best. Anyways, regardless of your opinion on Jewish Delis, there are few to be found in the Midwest. Similarly, how many Russian or other Eastern European restaurants are there in Madison or SLC? I don't like NYC that much myself, but I think it's silly to say that the food isn't the best in the country.

>>8957736
thats someone from nz saying nz mcd's is better than american mcd's. We dont even have ranch here

>>8957737
Because theyre very global cities, which is cool and interesting in its own right but the midwest is very distilled Americana. I've been to LA, San Fran and Vegas and that was cool, but I want something different and a lot more slower.

I plan on going to NYC eventually, but for a different experience than what i want out of flyover.

>>8957892
It sounds like you made up your mind on the quality of food based entirely on location a long time ago.

>>8957897
It sounds like you have, to me. I don't go around looking for places to hate, and I would prefer to live in SLC over NYC. I don't have anything against the Midwest, I just don't think their food is as good or as varied as the coasts.

>>8957904
Not really. I'm just realistic and don't romanticize one major city over another. I've visited a lot of them and they're all pretty much the same.

>>8957924
I don't think I'm romanticizing anything--I just don't think it's realistic to say that all cities are the same. I've lived in NYC, SF, SLC, and DC for years, and visited plenty of others. I think they're all substantially different. Whatever floats your boat though.

>>8956617
>he still listens to radio

seriously? Who tf still does this?

Buy a Bluetooth speaker or something

>>8958155
I listen to the radio all the time, jerk. I like the variety. I like flipping through stations when a commercial comes on. Suck my dick.

>>8958166
>not having a 160gb ipod classic

>>8958168
I have more gigs of music than I know what to do with. I just like hearing new stuff on the radio.

>>8956600
>than when I had to drive through Wisconsin.

Drive through L.A.. or NYC, D.C., or any other metropolitan shithole.

>>8958173
Like the NIN stuff?
Satan detected.

Stoneridge is a chain store? Only one I ever saw was in Wautoma.

>>8958241
Porirua, I bet.

>>8958241
nah mate, nice little suburb on the jville line

>>8956494
I wanted to go to graze one night, they don't take reservations and said the wait was an hour and 45 minutes. So I did a 360 and went to culvers instead.
