I moved to Chicago from Springpatch in '97. Couldn't agree with you more. Not only will you find beautiful diversity, but the Mexican food is truly authentic, there isn't any Cashew Chicken within 500 miles, and the Trumpers stay put in their little southern Illinois Trump bubble.

This is the third comment I’ve seen in this sub mentioning cashew chicken - what’s that about? I’m new here, I don’t know the lore.

This dish is Springfield specific. You won’t find it outside of the SW Missouri, specifically Springfield food bubble.

Springfield style cashew chicken originated here, and hard af to find elsewhere.

If you have a problem with former residents warning away from this hellhole, then vote for people who don't make money off making it worse.
