Lutefisk? I don't know, Minnesotans eat terrible, bland food. Anything beyond meat n' potatoes was imported. Minnesotans are only starting to understand how spices are used. :confused:

I interned in Seattle this summer... what is with Seattle's teriyaki obsession? There's literally a teriyaki place on every block.

Hahaha, I'm Minnesotan and my dad and grandpa used to eat that nasty crap. I refuse to go near them until the next day.


I'm going to school in Iowa now and I would say the only thing Iowa/Minnesota has is sweet corn. I've had sweet corn a lot of places, but it's not as good as the stuff around here.

NYC = better pizza than chicago, and bagels
Philly = Cheesesteaks and soft pretzels (the ones that are shaped like a bowtie)

Have you ever had pizza outside of the New York area? My four years of college in Indiana were the worst pizza years of my life.

You think you do....(same goes for chicagoans). I've had real NY pizza. Nothing compares, and chicago style is a sad parody.
