The midwest and great plains states have plenty of good food. Sure, if you go to some small town your options might be limited, but if you're in Cleveland, St. Louis, Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha there are tons of great food options. Even places like Wichita and Oklahoma City have a diverse choice of restaurants. I'm in Kansas and I can get tons of different food, as well as plenty of restaurants with local organic farm to table food. To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of the farm to table new American style restaurants are way better in midwestern cities than what you find in trendy coastal areas.

I've lived in socal for the past decade and probably the single biggest difference between the midwest and cali (other than california basically being mexico) is that the wealthiest class of californians are remarkably unsophisticated gullible morons whereas in the midwest usually wealthy people are more worldly and sophisticated. This results in a weird social dynamic where the californians who are worth more $ than I can even imagine are also completely oblivious to the world. I think this has an effect on cuisine, because other than mexican, the ethnic food here is sub mediocre and wouldn't even pass in any C tier midwestern city.

Sorry, but that just isn't true. There's a reason most Asians only live within driving distance of H Mart or 99 Ranch. You can't make a foreign cousine without a source of foreign ingredients. Some foreign ingredients are impossible to find outside their home countries.

You are always limited by where you live, some places are more limiting than others.

If you actually live here in California I highly suggest you stop calling it "Cali" and you'll be more accepted. California is too fucking big to consider it one area and only people who don't live here say "cali". If you live here the normal slang is SoCal or NorCal at the largest scale. There are enough regional and geographical differences within California that its stupid to refer to it as a monolith. The only people who say "cali" are those who don't live here and they don't know any better so that's fine, but if you live here and still use that word it only makes you look stupid.

Not really

If you're talking about orange county, yes the rich white people there (Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Oceanside) are generally as you described. That's not really true in LA, San Diego, even Ventura and above.

Incidentally, I've lived in Iowa, Pissouri, and Tennessee and you're absolutely lying about the "ethnic" foods being subpar in SoCal. One of the few, if not only, redeeming quality of living in SoCal is being able to get incredible Asian/Hispanic food (anything from Cambodian to Colombian). With the exception of Iowa (Ames specifically) which has a ton of Chinese for some reason and incredible Chinese food, every ethnic restaurant in those states was shit, in my experience. Nashville is supposed to have good Vietnamese but it was ok compared to the dumpy Vietnamese restaurants in Westminster and Garbage Grove

So you're either larping or just know better places in flyover states than I do. Both options are possible.

I just got here and have no stake in this shit, but here's some advice: please shut up.

I lived in the city for half my life and the country the other half. There's no contest. The country has cheaper prices, nicer scenery, cleaner air, prettier and more varied landscapes, friendlier people, and fewer niggers. The city's only upside is that everything is within walking distance, and possibly (albeit unlikely) that you'll stumble into a higher standard of living than the country can typically offer. Higher risk, higher reward.

The list of pros and cons isn't in your favor.

Welcome to Arizona, hope you like it here.

I was in a bar a few months ago in Tucson, and there were a few folks sitting near me at the bar talking with the barkeep. They all were talking, including the barkeep, about how they recently moved here from California. Which is fine.
They then talked about how they were out exploring the state and seeing all the "weird old stuff" and how they were glad Tucson was finally getting cool things like microbreweries.

I was sort of sad to here that. Both because it sounds like they don't actually like what beauty Southern Arizona has to offer, and because they feel the need to try to change what made it so nice here.

Oh well. I hope you are able to appreciate this weird desert state for what it is, and not what it is becoming. Go visit Bisbee some time if you have the chance. Get drunk with an old Navajo dude at a metal show. Buy enough tamales from old women out of the backs of cars that you have strong opinions on which old lady does it best. Buy carne seca.

I still hope California gets it's act together. I've truly realized it's a siphon for a certain type of person in our country. I hope they can return and find the life of they want there.

Kansas City - best barbecue
St. Louis - best Italian
Denver - best Vietnamese, Ethiopian, morroccan, Indian, Eastern European restaurants. Founded nearly all the fast casual places you enjoy
Maine - best seafood
New Mexico / Arizona - tie for best Mexican
Louisiana - best French
Wisconsin - best German, Scandinavian restaurants. best beef and dairy
Georgia - best fried chicken and southern food
North Carolina - best farm to table restaurants

Tell me again how flyover states “lack cuisine?” The only thing New York and California have that’s any better is Japanese and Chinese food. But it’s so fucking expensive it’s not worth even going. Oh and clam chowder / sourdough in San Francisco, but I’ll never step foot in that city again in my life.

I’ve seen all the episodes of gmm where they bring in the “best” restaurants in Los Angeles and half the time they end up choosing the fast casual / frozen option. I was born in California, I lived in socal for a year. I’ve lived in or traveled to every one of the places I mentioned. I’ve eaten in every state in the country. Sheltered coasties have to cling to the thought of having something super special because their daily lives suck so badly they have to justify the misery in some way.

Depends on what you like. I always recommend Bisbee for being a weird little town out in the desert. Has a vibe.

I think that guy was joking about the Grand Canyon, but it is actually quite wonderful if you've never been. Going out east to Strawberry is really cool.
It's hard to explain what to do though since it's where I live. Depending on what you like, you can find stuff. Phoenix is just a huge city now, with everything that tends to come with that.
I'm in Southern Arizona myself. If you're in Tucson, get a Sonoran Hot Dog somewhere. Desert Museum is really good. Madera Canyon is good hiking and is out of the way enough that it's often really quiet actually. Great bird watching if you're into that. Get a raspados someplace, I like Fun Land, but you can sort of hunt your way around and do well since most places are pretty solid out here.

NJ, Phily, Chicago and a few other coastal places that aren't NYC have much better Italian, Indian, Vietnamese, etc. than Denver and St. Louis.

Two places with the best Pho were in King of Prussia and Dayton Ohio. Ohio and Michigan have loads of good middle eastern places.

lmao okay tastelet. Fwiw most BBQ places in KC the sauce is optional and they have multiple varieties

>Denver - best Vietnamese, Ethiopian, morroccan, Indian, Eastern European restaurants. Founded nearly all the fast casual places you enjoy

I kind of disagree with this to be honest. There are good restaurants in the Denver area....but there's also a lot of shit. Being near the mountains, there isn't a lot of fresh food in Denver, it all gets trucked in from hundreds or thousands of miles away. You aren't going to get fresh farm to table stuff like you would in Missouri or Kansas or the midwest in general. If anything Denver is good for stoner food, weird food combos you won't see elsewhere. Sub restaurants like Cheeba Hut for example, is it the best, no, but it's way better than Planet Sub.

>Wisconsin - best German, Scandinavian restaurants. best beef and dairy

Wisconsin cheese curds are unmatched. Don't forget New Glarus beer either
