While I mull it over and wrestle with xmas tree lights, here's something to feast your eyes on: images I prepared for a post on Chicago's culinary excess, a post I failed to complete in a timely manner.
2 huge cinnamon roles at Ann Sathers. This is but one of two side dishes included with a brunch entree. Truly delicious, but... excessive.
A slice of Chicago-style (stuffed, I think it's called) pizza. It has two crusts. I drew a blue arc into the below image so that you can see the upper crust:
The tomato sauce just floats on top of the whole shebang. I can get behind the decadence of this dish-- especially as one who's lived through multiple midwestern winters. However, I think the toppings (a misnomer, as they go inside the pizza, below the top crust) get lost in the lower cheese layer.

I love your arc.
Also, this sort of excess is right in line with what I saw (and ate) in Poland. the ties between germany and poland and the midwest are many....and this heavy duty approach proves the point. Is there Polish food in Madison? Might I recommend the hot wine or warm mulled beer along side your pile of pierogi puddled in cream?
