I'll give you the section from Hardin County on up, straight north as a "Grey" zone but other than that, it's pretty clear.

Charles City is in the NEIC, but culturally and topographically it’s way more aligned with Mason City/Clear Lake than Decorah/Cresco/Waukon.
Osage isn’t NEIA either.
That may be, but then the people in Elkader or Decorah are silly. The western border should be the western edge of Howard County, not 63.
Seriously? If I lived in Jersey or New York I'd be hitting up all the local places instead of chains.
It’s NE if you divide the state in 4. I recognize Central thirds and divide the state into 9 sections roughly.
Mason City, Grundy Center, Osage, Charles City are all north central Iowa.
To me, northeast Iowa requires being in the Driftless Area
Why are we focused on geography when someone posted about a burrito in a sandwich thread?
To me, sandwiches always taste better when made by someone else.The best sammitches in the universe are at my house, so I rarely go out for one, but I do like the Griddled Seasonal Veggie at The Lunchbox in Fairfield.
Griddled Seasonal Veggie Wrap
basil pesto, romaine, charred tomato, roasted cremini mushrooms, grilled asparagus, white cheddar, buttermilk dressing, griddled and served hot.

That's fine you zoom in that far but how would people look at you who are from Des Moines and you say "How are things in Central Central Iowa?
A best sandwich thread turning into a "what is NE Iowa?" debate is what makes CF great.
Well at least we know that Iowa is in the midwest, unlike certain posters from Ohio.
That’s a fair definition, and if using county lines, makes the most sense. But western Howard/Chickasaw/Bremer counties are more like points west than east
Nope. I grew up not far from Chucktown and it is in Northeast Iowa.
Someone from Ohio saying Iowa isn’t the Midwest is insane.
Ohio shouldn’t be considered Midwestern.
If I have to go chain, it's Jersey Mike's. Locally though, I have a local butcher who also has a deli in his shop and his sandwiches are top notch. It's really hard to compare to any chain, because of the variety of meats he carries.
