Wisconsin is really the best of the Midwest. We have great sports, great food, and a great community. Because of the things we hold near and dear in our state, we’re worried about the rest of y’all. How do you survive without cheese curds within driving distance? We just can’t fathom missing that, or anything else on this list.
- Culver’s
-
So technically there are Culver’s locations spread throughout the country, but we had them first. We’re also home to the biggest Culver’s in Edgerton!
- Kwik Trip
-
There’s a reason we all dread out-of-state road trips. I’d rather run out of gas than get it somewhere other than Kwik Trip.
- Cheese Curds
-
It comes in so many varieties, and they’re all amazing! Separating a Wisconsinite from a cheese curd is a fun way to lose an arm.
- Cheese
-
You can’t make cheese curds without cheese, right? Get the squeaky goodness of Mullins Cheese, it can’t be beat!
- Sports
-
Wisconsin has some of the most passionate sports fans in the world. And if you’re from Wisconsin, and you don’t worship the Packers, Brewers, Bucks (or god forbid, the Badgers!), it’s your secret shame. And if you happen to like the Vikings, the Cubs, or superior West Coast teams, may they grant mercy on your soul.
- Alcohol
-
We all say that our state has been out-drinking your state since 1848. Alcohol, and beer specficially, are such an engrained part of our culture. There are many reasons for this, and the most prominent being the abundance of high quality breweries. Our flagship Milwaukee is the unofficial beer capital of the world.
Every state can’t be as great as Wisconsin, but maybe the lot of you could take some vacation days over here. The people of Illionis have been doing that forever.
