Name the thing that you MUST try...

[RedRocksU2]

..in the area that you live.
For So Cal, it's In-N-Out Burger.

Best burger evah.

 

[Dalton]

That's it!

I'm going to lunch.

 

[Varitek]

I'm going more local:

For where I live in NY it's Belgian fries with mayonaise from that fry place on 2nd by 7th st. For where I live in Boston it's probably ice cream from JP Licks unless it's brunch from Sorrella's or Cuban food from that cuban place that got firebombed a few years ago.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Cuban food

Local? ok.

North of Pasadena

 

[randhail]

Simply the best ice cream out there. Ben and Jerry don't mess around.

WHA...you like Mole?

 

[RedRocksU2]

Ever tried Blue Moon beer?

 

[randhail]

This too:

New England kicks ass.

Hey, you only get to claim that if you're from Vermont. I thought Providence was RI...

Has anyone else done the factory tour? It's a blast, especially for the free samples. When I was younger I did it twice, relatively close together, once on a camp trip, and the second time I got a free phish food peace pop because I'd heard the trivia answer before.

I'm a New Englander so I claim it by that fact.

Going to the factory is what got me hooked on it. Half Baked was the flavor they were making that day and well it had me at the first bite. I just hope that it never makes it to the flavor graveyard - that would be devastating.

 

[Mr. BAW]

Going into a certain home electronics store and not having to pay with this...

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

WHA...you like Mole?

I it. If mole is an option on a menu, I'm going to try it.

Blue Moon, Oberon and Sam Adam Summer Ale are all favorites of mine too.

 

[Dalton]

Ever tried Blue Moon beer?

Yeah, Blue Moon is nice, but I prefer the Oberon.

Though, I don't drink either that regularly.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I'll try it this Friday.

 

[UberBeaver]

That place is great. You ever been to that Belgian Beer place on, I think, 43rd and 6th? It's awesome.

Best burger evah.

That would be my pick

 

[Canadiens1131]

Schwartz's Deli
Best smoked meat in town. It's like pastrami except more like sex in yo mouf. Always a lineup, always a fixture.

St. Viateur Bagel Shop
Best bagels in the city are usually a heads-up between this and Fairmount bagel, but luckily they're a couple blocks apart so you can try both.

Cafe Olympico / Open da Nite
Great cafe in the Arcade Fire-y Mile End neighbourhood, many say with Montreal's best expresso. Great place to chill all day long.

Poutine, such as from Rapido
There are many places to try the novelty of poutine, but Rapido is open pretty much 24/7 along one of the main drags. Great fries/poutine, and with a kitchy atmosphere and staff. They've kept me from falling asleep on a park bench from alcohol poisoning many-a-time with their hearty greasy spoon food.

 

[LemonMelon]

Local? ok.

North of Pasadena

It was also referenced on the Fresh Prince, so it must be good.

 

[Varitek]

I it. If mole is an option on a menu, I'm going to try it.

Blue Moon, Oberon and Sam Adam Summer Ale are all favorites of mine too.

I don't like Sammy's summer, it's too lemon-y. I love Blue Moon. But give me a good german hefeweissbier imported from Bayern any day.

 

[Thora]

Fantastic beer


The Boathouse Restaurant - Excellent west coast seafood.

 

[Dusty Bottoms]

toasted ravioli

 

[U2Girl416]

two of my favorites from home:

Dinosaur BBQ

good bbq, grocery stores in the area sell the sauce and bbq potato chips made with their sauce. original is in Syracuse, but they've also got locations in Rochester and in NYC.

Coleman's

favorite Irish pub at home, typical Irish fare (and green beer on St. Patty's) and is the home of the only upside down traffic light in the country (pretty sure this is still true).

 

[JessicaAnn]

Ever tried Blue Moon beer?

Blue Moon is the best!

Oh ... and Leinenkugels

or Lakefront Brewery

[RedRocksU2]

My fav.

 

[Varitek]

From Boston - Crab Rangoon. Truly a local chinese restaurant oddity, certainly nothing like real chinese food, but oooooh so good.

Damn it now I have a craving.

 

[BoMac]

Canadiens beat me to it but here it is in all its glory.

Poutine
