fields of CORN for popping
Over the years, I have fallen for all foods Chicago style. From deep-dish pizza to hot dogs to open face horseshoes with fries piled high, the windy city knows its food. But just like my state is more than Memphis BBQ or Nashville Hot, Illinois is more than the famous foods of Chicago. Did you know that Illinois is one of the few states that has adopted an official snack food –popcorn. Their unique spin is equal parts cheese & caramel-flavored varieties, a state after my own heart. This next Call is from that very state, and the commission is so low…
