My fav topic - FOOD
 
OK, I know that we've had a topic sorta like this before but I still have a question. Is there any food in your area that you can't find anywhere else? Like, here in south Alabama (go ahead and laugh, I won't hear you http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif) we have grits and boiled peanuts. If you ever visit the south and are brave enough to try grits, you do not eat "a grit" you eat "grits." Ask for "a grit" and you'll get laughed at http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif! I think that boiled peanuts are only popular in the Wiregrass area of Alabama. I can't find them in Mobile at all. Also, I don't know about anywhere else, but the south has some of the best fried catfish - mmmmm! Anyway, I was just wondering. Thanks!

You can find boiled peanuts in Florida. There are stands along the highways that sell them. I've seen billboards advertising them - "Exit now! Disney T-shirts! Florida Souvenirs! Oranges! Boiled Peanuts!" and so on ... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I can't stand them (too mushy), but my best friend - she's from Okechobee - loves them. Boiled peanuts are definitely a Southern thing - if you didn't grow up with them, chances are you'll never like them. Same with grits.

BTW, within Florida, the further north you go, the more "Southern" you get. The panhandle is basically South Alabama, while South Florida (i.e. Miami) is more like New York or Cuba, depending on where you go. I grew up in Orlando. We say "ya'll" and have a general appreciation for "southern hospitality", etc. but that's about it.

And I do know better than to say "a grit"! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I've heard people say that, it cracks me up.

AlphaChiGirl 01-29-2001 01:14 AM

Yeah...it's totally true that the Panhandle is more like Alabama than it is Florida...we call it "Lower Alabama" (I'm from there, so I feel free to do it). I think you can get boiled peanuts around there. Of course, I don't live there right now, so I can't tell you with any certainty.

Boiled peanuts are the bomb...

Yup--we like em over here too...the stores always stock up during football season, where tailgating is GOD here. I'd say that boiled peanuts consumption is at an all time high during that time...but I'll eat them whenever!

I've lived in 3 different places and will talk about each locations particular unique cuisines.

1) New York City: bagels, pizza, Jamaican food, Chinese food, Jewish cooking

2) Rhode Island: the best grinders and vegetarian dishes

3) Maryland: NOTHING! I HATE THIS STATE!!! OK, I'm calm! But, if I had to pick the best known: CRABS!!! MARYLAND HAS CRABS!! Alright, I'm fine ...

sigmagrrl 01-29-2001 02:32 AM

OK, I misread the topic. You said cannot FIND anywhere else. Well, none of the things I've listed are unique to the areas, but they are the best in those areas!! There are particular CHAINS that are only local. I would have to say that of all these states, Rhode Island has the best restaurant chains:
1) Gregg's
2) D'Angelo's Grinders
3) Chelo's
4)TJ Cinnamon's

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN FIND A TJ CINNAMON'S OUTSIDE OF RI/MASS, I WILL SAY A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR YOU!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

King Cake! It is impossible to find decent King Cake outside of the greater New Orleans area. I'm in Baton Rouge for school, and you can't get a *good* one up here.

For those of you that don't know, a King Cake is a Mardi Gras tradition. It's a cake that's ring-shaped and is kind of doughy. It has purple, green and gold colored sugar sprinkled on the top. Inside is a plastic baby. Its to signify the three kings finding the Baby Jesus in the manger. Tradition dictates that the person who finds the baby has to buy the next king cake.

Allie_XO 01-29-2001 08:29 AM

TL's Cinnamon, I assume that they have cinimmon rolls? Have you ever has a Cinnubum? Yummy! And I've also heard that you can order "real New Orleans King Cakes" over the internet, but I could just be delusional. I knew about getting peanuts in Florida, but I figured that was just from all the Alabama folks going to the beach. Shows my worldly knowledge http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif.

juniorgrrl 01-29-2001 12:09 PM

You proabably can order king cakes from reputable bakeries on the internet, but it doesn't make too much sense for me to do that. I'm 90 minutes away from home in Baton Rouge - I swear, for such a short distance between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, its two completely different worlds. Its hard to believe both cities are in the same state...

Yes, TJ Cinnamon's is a cinnamon bun place. They are HUGE and have the BEST cream cheese frosting!! I have tried Cinnabun, but I don't care for them...


Billy Optimist 01-30-2001 01:31 AM

One thing that they (we?) have here in Virginia are pickeled watermellon rinds. They are made the same way as pickels, but instead of cucumbers, you use watermellons rinds. They're not that great. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif Another thing is fried pickels. I've never heard of fried pickeled water mellon rinds though. That would be gross!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

When I went to Disneyland a week and a half ago, I had this immense craving for strawberry funnel cake....BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT! I thought all amusement parks have it! I've had it at Knotts, Great America, and Magic Mountain...but Disneyland didn't have it! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif So, I had to settle for a churro...the BF wasn't going to drive me around and pay $$$ just to get funnel cake.

Are there any non-amusement park places where I could possibly get them? I know it'll be hard for me since I'm in Hawaii, but next time I'm on the continent I'll know where to look.

OTW,

I would think Great America, San Jose? would have those funnel cakes. I know here in Virginia at Kings Dominion, another Paramount Park that they do have funnel cakes. I know Las Vegas has theme parks and there might be other parks in California that have them. Santa Cruz might be one place, but i'm not sure. Alpha Chi, here in Virginia the Arby's chain I believe bought out T.J. Cinnamons and they have those here. Billy Optimist, I know what you mean about the watermellon rind. My mom gets these jars from it from up in PA. Amish Country. I tried it a few months ago and it wasnt bad. I admit its not that great. My Mom told me that up in Maine the McDonalds serves Lobster Sandwiches which I think is pretty cool. I had a cheese steak up in Philly once on a roadtrip and it rocked. Cant really remember the place though. It was a small diner. Sigmagrrl. Blue Crabs are definitely known in MD and VA. They're too much work for me to eat. I worked at a crab house once during the summer of the Potomac.

TJ Cinnamon's is in the Emerald Square Mall in N. Attleboro, MA. It's just north on 95, take the first exit, I think 1B. Take this west and the mall will be on your right. But, I have heard of Spike's, the hot dog place, right? I never ate there, but I always wanted to. I miss Thayer St. I really want to move back to RI someday.

Are you saying that TJ Cinnamon's are now inside Arby stores?? I AM ON A QUEST!!! Are you in the DC area still? Know of a TJ CInnamon's around here?

Okay, I am almost positive I went to a TJ Cinnamon's somewhere in Northern Virginia but I don't remember where. Probably one of the malls near DC or something.

Anyhow, the number one thing I could not live without around here is North Carolina style barbeque. My family lives in Virginia and every time I go home or my mom comes down here we take some barbecue back with us. I also couldn't live without southern cooking. And even though I know they're expanding and you can probably find them some places up north and out west, I can't go a week without Chick-Fil-a. I can't imagine having to eat fast food and not having the option of Chick-Fil-a.

Something we have here at school are theese called chrusties. Only this one restuarnt here has them. They are like pizza dough things wrapped around different ingredents like pepperoni, sussage, beef, etc. My favorite are the barbecue chicken ones. Especily with ranch sauce.

I can't LIve without pappas con huevos. Potato and Egg tacos. It's a south Texas thing. Too good. This joint (fast food chain where EVERYONE goes after going out at about 2AM. It's called Taco Cabana, or affectionately known as TC's) serves the best EVER. They have a combo meal, two tacos and a drink for $2.49. So you gotta remember to save that much for the end of the night. It's also killer comfort food. You gotta remember that in Texas, a Taco isn't what you get at taco bell. it has to do with the shape, not what it is. Most of what we call tacos others from north call burritos. the only differenc is the ends arent wrapped. But you eat it like a taco, just in a flour tortilla. I learned to make my own and the are too good. i got's the recipe if anyone is interested. i learned from a genuine aubelita. (mexican grandmother). So I have a family recipe.

Kittie,
I love Chick-Fil-a! I'm from Michigan and I'm so mad we don't have them here! I had it when I went to Atlanta to visit a friend. That place is great!


One thing I thought I couldn't live w/out was Steak n Shake. This is somewhat of a reversed story b/c I had it when I was in Illinois! But I live in Michigan and I was so pissed that they didn't have them here. So I was all on this quest to go to Chicago as much as possible just to get some SnS! But now, they have them here and they built one right around the corner from me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif You can only imagine my happiness!!

Sigmagrrl,

Dont quote me on that but i am 99 percent sure that Arbys has those T.J. cinnabuns. I still live in Virginia. It could be that there still are T.J.s around the malls of Northern Virginia. Like Potomac Mills along I95. I live about 40 minutes south of that and we have a few Arbys around here that sell those Cinnabuns. I also like those Cinnamin Raisin biscuits at Hardees. Of course I think Hardees have the best biscuits hands down. I think Chick-Fil-a is pretty good. I'm not crazy about the waffle fries they have. One of my favorite places, kind of a fancy fast food place is Friendly's. They have pretty good icecream there. Olive Garden Restaurant is kind of growing on me. They have great Italian food and desserts.

I didn't realize it until recently that Krispy Kreme is primarily a south eastern chain. Am I right? I know that they are expanding since they went public on the stock market, but I don't think there are many yet. Also, Hardee's? I think they are primarily east od the Mississippi.

For anyone that doesn't know - Krispy Kreme makes the most delicious donuts. Hardee's is a fast food chain, but they are so much better than McD's or BK.

You are right. I grew up in NYC and went to college in RI and I never heard of a Krispy Kreme until I moved to MD. I know I will get crap for this, but I hate Krispy Kreme. I am a DUNKIN' DONUTS WOMAN!!! WOOOOHOOOO!! I had Krispy Kreme once and the donut tasted like motor oil! I love all Dunkin' Donuts items!! My faves are Boston Kreme, Blueberry, and Chocolate Creme!!

There's one KK that I know of in NYC (Manhattan), and I know there's at least one in LA. I guess they're trying to expand. There's one not too far from my home in Destin, FL...it's AMAZING! If I could get them shipped to RI, it'd ROCK!

Yeah I had never heard of Krispy Kreme until I went south. My ex (who's from Georgia) was harping on me cuz I had never had one. But now they just built one near my house in Detroit. I must say that they are quite fabulous! They honestly melt in your mouth!

bucutie02 02-01-2001 09:45 AM

Krispy Kreme's are DELICIOUS- they have always had them here in Houston but it wasnt until i went to Miami that i tried them. Ever since then I am hooked on them, even better yet they built one right by my house a couple of months ago. I dont go there as much as i want to- but atleast i know its there whenever i have a craving. They really do melt in your mouth!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I love Krispy Kreme. They just built a second one here in Chicago. I used to like Dunkin Donuts but lately the ones here are under new owners and the donuts just take like sweetened crisco. We had a Hardees in Peoria where I went to school and they had the best burgers and chicken. We have one in downtown chicago but I have not been there yet.

Miami1839 02-01-2001 05:24 PM

Allie, Yep, Hardees is mostly an eastern(They're big here in Virginia and North Carolina) chain but I think they do have some in the midwest. Plus I think they bought out Carls Jr. which is a fast food chain on the west coast. But I could be wrong about that. I do agree that Hardees has better food than McDonalds. Of course I did work there during H.S. so I dont think its that great. Biscuits & Gravy are the bomb. Krispy & Creme are o.k., I prefer going to Shoppers food wharehouse or Dunkin Donuts. There this place called Einstein bagels and they have pretty good breakfast sandwiches there. Its right next to Starbucks which makes it convienent.


SuperXO 02-01-2001 07:06 PM

Who has been to CPK (aka California Pizza Kitchen)? This is the best place! basically, they put anything on a pizza. They have Thai Chicken pizza, burrito pizza, goat cheese and pepper pizza, Tandoori, etc. it's kinda upscale, though, like a cafe with individualistic chefs. It's so yummy and unique.

My other fave is the Cheesecake Factory. Nuff said!

I have also traveled a lot and it is so fun seeing food from all over the world. For instance, i found it hilarious when I was in New Mexico and Texas how they have this big feud over who has "real" or the best mexican food. They both had great Mexican food! But, I also love california "Health Mex" style like fish tacos and other stuff that has lots of veggies and less cheese.

I had good bar-b-q in tennessee, the sauce is yummy. It's also funny how bar-b-q in the south has to do with the sauce, but when we say bar-b-q in california, it means we are going to cook on the bar-b-q, but not necessarily use bar-b-q sauce. Like whenever we have parties we "Q" up some burgers or Spicy sausages or even steaks!


sammie17 02-01-2001 08:59 PM

Hi everyone!

AllieXO, you are right--Krispy Kreme is pretty much a southern/eastern thing. Out here in San Francisco, there is no such shop! Most San Franciscans here have never ever heard of the chain! Luckily when i went to Los Angeles i got to try them. I must say--there are DELICIOUS! Gosh i wish SF had a Krispy Kreme. I don't think that there are a lot of Krispy Kreme Donuts out here on the West Coast, though i might be wrong.

Well, I don't think that SF has anything "unique", but we are known for our sourdough and our Ghiradelli's Chocolate. Also the Chinese food here is great! There are Chinese restuarants anywhere you look LOL.

I wish that we had a Hardee's! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif We only have Jack in the box, BK, Mickey D's, and Carl's Jr.
Whoever said that they just got a Carl's Jr., congratulations!! Their burgers are fantastic--so juicy. Their breakfast stuff is great too.

SuperXO, i LOVE the cheesecake factory! I always go there http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif have you tried their tiramisu and their strawberry shortcake (which has vanilla ice cream included too)? Great stuff. I have never been to CPK--i wonder if SF has it?

SuperXO,

One of my pledge brothers worked at CPK and I agree their food was pretty good. They have one near George Mason in Fairfax, Virginia. I'm pretty sure they have one in Sacramento, CA. too. I remember that one time visiting my grandfather. There are some great places in San Fran. There are so many different places to eat. I like Fishermans Wharf and definitely china town. GH chocklates are nice too.

sigmagrrl 02-02-2001 12:10 AM

Just a couple of replies:

*AlphaChiGirl: I just read on projo.com that a company names the Jan Group (I think) just bought the rights to build 30 or so Krispy Kreme shops in RI. Check out the website and you can read the article.

*SuperXO: I LOVE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!! I go there at least once a month. It sucks that they don't take reservations, though. We always have to wait at least 1 hour! We have waited as long as 4 hours just to eat there once!!! We passed the time at our other fave restaurant, DAVE AND BUSTER'S!! I am so happy that kids are not allowed in after a certain time!

I cannot stand garlic so I cannot go to CPK. I went once and was sick from the smell for 2 days. The garlic smell was in my hair, my clothes, EVERYWHERE!! ACK!!!!!

SuperXO 02-02-2001 12:54 PM

sigmagrrl, you are hard core for waiting for 4 hours! but, it is worth it!

By the way, sammie17, i believe Hardee's is the same thing as Carl's Jr. I've traveled all over the country, and while I have never eaten at Hardee's, it has that same Carl's Jr. star and their ads advertise some of the same burgers. pretty crazy, huh?

Something that I miss from traveling is these things I had in Mexican restaurants in New Mexico. They are fr desert and they are puffy and light and made of dough. You put honey or chocolate on them. They don't serve them in Mexican restaurants her and I am so sad! Anyone know t what they are called?
