Mary Brown’s Famous Chicken and Taters. I like it much better than Popeyes which is my second-fave chain take-out fried chicken. If there was one anywhere in downtown Toronto, I’d be in trouble. As it is there are...

downtown for lunch. and...oh, in case Ollie’s is attempted, it’s at 116 street immediately across from CU main entrance, not 112. Be kind of ironic after debate below if the highschoolers decide ollie’s is the...

such as sea cucumber, sea bream, baby eel and barbecued crickets. After hours a chef might be cooking a favorite dish with tuna blood or showing me some baby abelone that he’d be eager for me to sample. As an occasional...

i agree. i think these chains are out of the way. yet with gas prices, people still gravitate toward them. i think most of the independently owned places are near downtown where i live, which is a central location for groups but...

Not late night, but Water Street Bistro in Petaluma, Downtown Bakery and Cafe in Healdsburg, Bovolo in Healdsburg, Willow Wood Market in Graton, and Cafe Saint Rose in Santa Rosa all meet the rest of your criteria (and use more...

of the hype that goes on here, there is still hype. Next, you complain about lack of certain foods. San Francisco is famous as a city that loves food, not a city that has every possible kind of food. Barbecue isn’t...

How about the snackers at KFC? I prefer the buffalo and barbecue versions, myself. 1$ each.

that came from a steamtable. Oh, can’t forget Ike’s in downtown MPLS for brunch on the weekend. Best brunch I have ever had, bar none! My husband’s eyes were as big as a dinner plate when he saw the carmel roll...

Is this the Iron Chef in downtown by Central Park? If so, do you know if they open for lunch on weekdays? I work right by there and this sounds like a place I want to try.

accounts for the ubiquity of the menu items from place to place. This type of food was found mainly in suburban Chinese restaurants (although it could be found in downtown Boston as well). These restaurants always had a...

's, regularly ran specials on Shurfine products: a package of hot dogs was 99 cents and four cans of pork and beans were a dollar. That was four meals for two bucks, when doctored with mustard, Worcestershire, Tabasco and/or...

is especially good. Also, Terra Chips makes some blue potato chips that are very nice. In the freezer, the key lime and pumpkin pies are very nice, and I like the barbecue chicken pizza, too. I’m sure some more things will...

. Even my father, who typically did nothing to help around the kitchen, dove into barbecuing with a passion. And I must admit that I enjoy feeding others. Chowhounding in restaurants becomes a form of “fantasy...

: strawberry patch that produced a couple of quart bowls each day during summer...so much I got sick of them. Valencia orange tree. Barbecued lamb chops with my Grandmother.

I was similarly unimpressed with the JJ Fish downtown. My disappointmemnt with the hallowed Gene and Jude is already on record. Mediocre hot dog, uncooked greasy fries, appalling atmosphere, insulting service. The most unappealing...
