I thought we just called terrible things Ohio?
Illinois and Ohio: the Midwest's armpit and asshole!
As an ex ohioan, it's an honor to be compared to Illinois.
Fr though ohio is Midwest mid. Minnesota and Illinois are great. Michigan and Wisconsin are fine. Ohio is bad, but it only goes downhill from there.
Illinoisan here - will own this as long as it's the arm pit. That makes Indiana the taint, and Iowa the red neck?
That puts Michigan into beer gut and Wisconsin the man-boobs territory.
Also, I'll take Chicago food over Ohio any day. What do they have? ChiliMac? it's fine, but not exactly a hallmark.
I've heard stories of Cleveland style chili. You have to go to the right restaruants to get something really authentic, and when you taste it, you understand that it actually is quite awful.
