Do you like to eat? It’s one of Emily & Katie’s favorite hobbies and luckily, from New England to the Midwest, they have lived in and visited several states and cities with unique regional food offerings. In this mouthwatering episode, Emily and Katie discuss what makes a food “regional” in the United States and how our melting pot of cuisines has produced some truly iconic dishes.  What makes a “comfort food” so comforting and what do you think of eating first when you’re at “home”?
 
Why do we have unique regional foods throughout the United States?
What are some of the well-known regional dishes Katie and Emily have experienced and how delicious are they?
What makes New England Whoopie Pies the best?
How did these dishes get created and become regional staples?
What the heck is coffee milk?
