The Midwest knows its way around comforting, heartwarming food. Though we often associate the South with comfort food, soul food is its own category, reserved for freshly fried chicken, crispy hush puppies, smoked meats, and collard greens. Midwestern comfort food is often casserole-based, filled with inexpensive ingredients like cream cheese, egg noodles, canned tuna, and plenty of potatoes. Each cuisine was born out of culture and necessity, thriving still from the people and environments that make each region unique.

Brittany highlights summer favorites, recommending fried green tomatoes and peanut butter egg rolls as perfect seasonal dishes that embody comfort and cultural significance.
