What happened to all the good food America???

The South = great food (Virginia is just barely in the South) The North = they eat what? Seriously, you never see a restaurant with Northern Style cooking.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

My last visit was about 5 years ago, in Virginia mostly, but everything was super duper delicious (Yes! I gained a lot of weight here :sigh:). 5 years later, I come back here, this time Chicago, and I've tried from takeouts to fancy dine-ins but everything sucks, and all the places stink. What happened to all the good food? :confused:

There's the Michigan delicacy, pasties. Pronounced with short a like in the past, not like the dancer adornments. Some of the most bland, boring food you'll ever eat. They'll defend it by saying that you need to put ketchup (catsup?) on it. :doh: On the plus side, our sausage game is excellent and, supposedly, the hamburger was first made in a small city in Wisconsin[^].

When I visit a big city, I always look for locally-owned ethnic eateries because they are found nowhere else but at the ethnic source. So unless you're in Paris, the best place for pastries will be at a patisserie in a big city. Same for tamales in Mexico, etc.
