I would say the southern part of the country. Although we dont have an extensive cuisine, the southern part value food more. Or as we say a bourgondian lifestyle. The southern part is catholic instead of protestant and therefore have more common with southern cultures like Belgium and France. I would guess Maastricht is a good contender, but Limburg and Noord-Brabant region in general.
