      Nah, the Midwesterner says, “their food isn’t for me, but I hear those New York types like it.”

      “Oh yeah, bud. That chicken sure was a jerk. Very spicy.”

      My inlaws from Illinois, probably.

      I tease my brothers about this all the time. They moved to the Midwest a couple decades ago and their tolerance for spiciness has gone way down. We also get into frequent disagreements about whether The Outback is a good steak house, Red Lobster serves good seafood, or Olive Garden is high quality authentic Italian. We also disagree about the existence of restaurants that are not national chains
