Heartland Cuisine
From James Beard Award-winning restaurants in Chicago and Minneapolis to fresh-
from-the-dairy milkshakes, the Midwest's farms, orchards and breweries satisfy the pal-
ate.
Rock & Roll
Home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, blowout fests like Lollapalooza and thrashing
clubs in all the cities, the Midwest knows how to turn up the volume.
Quirky Sights
A big ball of twine, a mustard museum, a cow-doo throwing contest: the quirks rise from
the Midwest's backyards and back roads - wherever there are folks with passion, imagin-
ation and maybe a little too much time on their hands.
