Is Nebraska the Midwest or the West? Culinarily, it is some of each, plus a full measure of ethnic food that has taken root and become state signature dishes. For instance, runzas.

A must-eat! Omaha is home not only to impressive steak dinners, but to a unique specialty known as the Cheese Frenchee, which is a cornflake-crusted, deep-fried grilled cheese sandwich. Up in the northwest, look for extraordinarily good Mexican food – a legacy of farm workers who settled here generations ago.
