I think anywhere you grew up north of the Mason-Dixon line but south of NE states had the best corn and tomatoes in one's own opinion. We grew up on Ohio and Western PA's, so those are the best to us. Although, I must vote for Ohio over PA. But we were in the city, so the corn came a bit of a distance. Not like in Ohio, having them walk to the field and pick it for you individually.

Since then, we've lived in North Jersey (3 years) and Michigan (25 years). I was disappointed in Jersey tomatoes, and one can get good corn in Michigan, but it has to be a planned event, and local knowledge is a must. Still, it isn't as good a Ohio's. But again, I grew up on Ohio corn.

Oh, and Michigan tomatoes--meh.
