I guess it depends -- I think you can find at least one good chinese, vietnamese etc place in most major cities, including e.g. Memphis, Flagstaff, Kansas City, the quad cities etc. At least I had some in all of these.<p>But if we&#x27;re talking about rural midwest away from big cities, then you&#x27;ll probably have to drive a few hours to get there.<p>And of course even in the big midwest cities, while a few good place will exist, they wont be as popular as in NY, or SF.
