southern cuisine(s) are far more appealing/satisfying to me. cooking with local/heirloom ingredients anywhere of course but i tend to reach for those old/obscure-ish southern flavors, especially like to pull stuff out of the deep southern mississippi valley.
probably my favorite urban midwest
flavor is the chicago style hot dog, though. it actually doesn't destroy me.
