What, no love for Dairy Queen? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist).
One of the few things Chris Billingsley and I can agree on – I’d take a DQ rootbeer float over a $12 Kimball House cocktail anyday!
I’d take a Jack and Coke slushy from Victory over either (actually, I haven’t had a KH cocktail yet; I’m waiting until it’s less trendy.)
Oooooh, I do love me those J&C slushies. Especially paired with a weedeater sandwich.
J&C slushy & a Hot Chick for me!
I’m pretty sure that the proper wine and pasta pairing would make most questions moot. It’s a dream, Cubalibre, but I think it could happen!
Hmmm. This probably made a whole lot more sense to me when I was hopped up on percocet and NyQuil. Sorry Cubalibre, I have no idea what I thought I was actually responding to. At least I’m amusing myself while waiting for a root canal and extraction. Maybe the nice Doctor McNay will let me DM after a few good puffs of nitrous oxide later.
that’s one James Beard nominee per square mile.
yes, Alex, i’ll take “Things That Don’t Suck” for $500
Also Ford Fry (No. 246 and others) for outstanding restaurateur.
Ford Fry from #246
Did I miss the latest food trend? Are we really frying Fords now?? And wouldn’t that be more appropriate at Palookaville than No. 246???
I wonder why Farm Burger doesn’t get a nod like TDS? I think it is one of the smartest concepts going.
Pinewood and 246 !!!
