I’m not sure this map is accurate
Can’t speak for the Midwest, but this map looks wildly inaccurate. The New York definitions are generally fine but I have never, in my entire life, heard anyone from South Jersey consider their region to be ‘Chesapeake’, consider themselves culturally similar to Virginia, or anything of the sort. So I’d be skeptical of all the others too.
On board with the Great Lakes part. From Cleveland, always hated calling it the midwest
Broadly speaking, the lower you go in the midwestern states, the more it starts to resemble Th South.
More hot dish up north.
More corn down south.
Pretty weird map. In my experience, northern Kentucky is more Midwest than south.
How is Chesapeake va not part of Chesapeake?
Hey! An accurately depicted Acadiana! Sweet!

Taco in a bag vs walking taco
And hot dish vs casserole southern Midwest has spicier food in my experience. Beg vs bag.
I don’t get the preoccupation with segmenting the US or anywhere else into discreet areas as if they existed in a vacuum. It’s not like you cross an imaginary line and you’re in a totally different place. It’s all a continuum.
