extensive refactor of main page
I did a very extensive reorganization of the main page to attempt a description of the influences and development of a regional cuisine. Part of the problem I'm having, frankly, is that, other than simply geographical confluance, many authors deny the existance of a "traditional" 'midwestern cuisine, and contend that the region expresses merely a melange of the various immigrant cuisines it derives from. It is certainly true that the regions cultural history is shallow, extending back less than 200 years while other areas have RESTARANTS older than that. anyway, without adding extensive references, this is my best current shot.

Twin Cities not having an identifyable food?
How about: Wild rice soup, fried walleye, hot dish (Casserole to those who live inside the 394-494 beltway) and corn dogs? (Invented at the Minnesota State Fair).

Try to tell me that Detroit has more Polish food than Chicago
If I am reading this page correctly, it would seem that Detroit has more Poles than Chicago. This is clearly incorrect. Chicago has more citizens of Poland (not to mention American Citizens who consider themselves Polish) than any other city in the world, with the exception of Warsaw.
