Title: Top eateries you want to visit
Post by: rollntider on January 27, 2016, 06:22:03 PM
With my Kanye link in the other thread, what are some of the places you want to try?

I know i want to try a Philly cheese steak in Philly where they are across the street from each other. Not a cheese whiz fan, so I want to try Genos?

Also Franklin BBQ

other will come to me.

If you get a chance try pancake pantry in Tennessee (gatlinburg)

I cannot think of one good reason to set foot in Philly lol
Sticking with BBQ, I'd like to try this place in KC that's supposed to be really good but can't recall the name.
Also, being a chili snob, I'd like to go to Cincy and try their attempt at a bowl o red 😎

yea thats one. its got quite a few locations around Cincy and I'm always leary when a reputable establishment starts multiplying. Usually quality suffers, although doesn't seem to fall prey to that if it stays local

If you ever find yourself in Ann Arbor or the Metro Detroit area, you need to hit:

Zingerman's Deli
Union Woodshop
Slow's BBQ
Lafayette Coney Island (and anyone that tells you that American Coney Island next door is better is an idiot)  :D
Mercury Burger Bar

And if you ever come on up here to visit, hit me up and let's go.

I dunno about eateries, but one day I'd like to try some of the absolutely decadent fast food places that I see on American TV.  Arby's and Five Guys and the such.  :D

The closest thing we have here is pretty much Wendy's.

Five guys is good, but the fries, ugh, stay away, no joke.
I'd go with In n Out burger over Five Guys, but Houston has been shunned thus far

Not sure what you mean by that.

In n Out opened up franchises in other Texas cities but not here.

That's odd, cause Houston is like one of the major cities of Texas, right?

Heard good stories about in and out, but never been to one, my friends when Bama plays in Texas all have to hit In and out and post all over face book.

The better chains we have here are Five Guys, and Whataburger.

Now for local burgers, Tony's hot dogs (I know hot dog place) has one of the best burgers in Bham and All star Diner.

You know I would have to try both, I have seen them on like the travel channel, like the best Dog places in america, I heard its like a rivalry.

Largest city, hence the wonderment of not opening a franchise here. I think Austin received the last one and while it is far smaller than Houston, it is the fastest growing in the state, so maybe that was a factor,.

Whataburger originated in Corpus Christi Texas. The Astros farm team in CC plays at Whataburger field lol. Fun place.
I think any native Texan would cite Whataburger as the best fast food burger joint.

Ah I thought it was Dallas.

Dallas is 2nd I think, by 500,000 or so.
Everybody thinks Dallas. It's funny because the smallest major city is the Capitol.
