Big Mama's Kitchen, Omaha

It's Patricia "Big Mama" Barron's chicken that keeps her customers coming back. Instead of using the typical deep-fry method, Patricia cooks her chicken in a convection oven in a pan of oil. - Foursquare user Food Network

For what its worth, I gave the chili and cinnamon roll a go last night... Wasnt earth shattering but I kind of get the appeal- almost as if i was eating a giant gingerbread cookie the hole time with the sweetness/cinnamon of the roll mixing with the heartiness of the chili.

I grew up in Omaha as did my parents.  I never even heard of cinnamon rolls with Chili until I got married.  It’s been 20 years and I still don’t get it.

 

House divided.  I have to make cinnamon rolls for the wife and cornbread for me.

Same for myself and my parents. All of my grandparents were from the south so there was no such thing as cinnamon rolls with Chilli. You ate Cinnamon rolls for a snack or maybe breakfast but Chilli is eaten with cornbread. Still to this day have not tried cinnamon rolls and Chilli, no rush to either.

Amen  - although I did like my c roll and chili that I recently tried based on this thread.  But you are correct cornbread (wt some syrup perhaps)

Theory: chili and cinnamon rolls basically just splits the flavors of baked beans into two separate dishes, one sweet and one savory.

I'm now just coming across this talk of chili and cinnamon rolls and have seen references pop up on instagram lately.  I've never heard of it let alone tried it.  I think I might give it a go.  Asked my family if anyone had tried it and nobody had.  My sister-in-law said they were served chili and peanut butter sandwiches for their school lunches in small town middle of nowhere Indiana.

I figured maybe my dad had heard of it or tried in as he spent time in Nebraska but that was for college.  The rest of us spent our school days in North west Indiana and I can't think of any sweet and savory pairing they gave us that would seem weird to others.

According to this super scientific BuzzFeed article, the weirdest food from Indiana is Roast Beef Manhattan which doesn't seem very weird at all

We always called that a Hot Beef Sandwich in S. Dak.  

 

The Horseshoe sandwich from Illinois looks good 

 

Iowa's loose beef is dorky - typical Iowa

 

Kansas has the Cinnamon roll and chili  

 

Boudin in Louisiana - my favorite.  The state wt the best food in my opinion

 

Nebraska - The Runza   oh yeah

 

My home state:  South Dakota: Chislic    As a jr in High School - I and some buddies  butchered  a lamb and made chilslic and sold it out of an extra house my parents owned on our 'north farm'.  The 4 of us guys made a lot of $$ - as the high school students (small town SD) came to our place after a game to get some good old lamb  Chislic.  It was always sold at the Turner County Fair (Parker) - SD's largest county fair back then and maybe still is.

This list is stupid.  If you really think the weirdest food in Louisiana is Boudin, then you have never set foot in the state.

With that said, man, I ain't had legit boudin in ages...

Is this your first experience with BuzzFeed?  

 

That's why I said "super scientific" when it's all just clickbait
