They have a Fat Burger here. It's in the casino in Roseville. I dunno about them though. I had one once and I had the worst stomach ache. Too much grease or something.

I still love In N Out though cuz they make everything fresh. Although Jack in the Box does too, In N Out just tastes better.

Ok... question for everyone. I went back east a few years ago. There was a restaurant that had an ad campaign that featured cows with signs that read "Eat More Chickin." (Spelling, suprisingly, is correct.) Is that for Chick-a-fil? I don't see those out here. Don't remember eating there, but the ad campaign was hilarious.

There is also the Salty Dog Cafe in Hilton Head, South Carolina. I just remember the gift shop really. And they had good lemonade.

Yes, that is Chick-Fil-A!

They always have cute little advertisements with the cows. The best is the monthly calendar they sell with coupons as a fundraiser for different groups. Something about seeing a cow on a balance beam or on the ski slopes

Okay, my friend and I are wondering....is it pronounced

chick-fil-ay

-or-

chick-fil-ah?

Sorry for the hijack, but my friend and I don't know!

It really is awesome. IMO, the best chicken sandwich around. And their waffle fries are pretty kickin' also.

Thanks ever so much! I win $5!!! Ha ha, that'll teach Kara to doubt my intuition!

I agree with all of the fans of Chick-fil-A and Steak and Shake- both awesome. No one from Cincy has posted, so I will add our well knowns.

Skyline Chilli (cincy style chilli and three ways)
Goetta (a personal fav, just dont read what it is made out of!)
Graeter's ice cream
lot's of local beer
and home to the first Hofbrauhaus (of Munich) in the U.S.

My husband, who is a Cinci native, would also add:

Grippo's (sp??) potato chips
United Dairy Farmer's ice cream

to the list. When ever we go to Cinci we come back with bags of Grippos!

Kewpee Hamburgers, its local joint that makes their stuff fresh everyday and while you are there so it dont sit in some stupid warmer.
Also...
Happy Daz (days) they got great shakes and breaded mushrooms to name a few

Thought of another:

Wells Blue Bunny Ice Cream. Made fresh in LeMars, IA. One of the largest Ice Cream makers in the country. And Oh so tasty.

OK, so this probably is more of a "certain time of the year" thing than regional, but I love Iowa State fair food. It's the best part of going to the State Fair... gorging on everything that could possibly come on sticks - corn dogs, cheese, deep fried Snickers bars and Oreos (haven't tried these yet) and God only knows what I'm forgetting. Plus obvious fair stuff like Grater Taters, Funnel Cakes, and Grinders.

And don't forget pork chops on a stick, hugeass turkey drumsticks and dippin dots!

No one mentioned this! This one regional food has become popular everywhere. It must be served with blue cheese dressing and carrot sticks. And beer.

What cracks me up, are those rare occasions when someone says, "I didn't know that buffalos have wings," and they mean it. Uh, the recipe for the wings are from Buffalo, New York. "Oh."

CrimsonTide4 · #**120** 03-22-2004, 10:44 AM

I like my buffalo wings with ranch dressing.

Yaaaay that there is a BW3 opening up down the street from my apt in a few weeks.
