Favorite Foods And Places


T-Bag

Recommended Posts

I searched and didn't find really any threads on this so I thought it'd be interesting to post this up. Post up your favorite style of food, how you order it, where you get it, the best places you've been, most you've spent etc. I'm hoping this gets interesting knowing that each state and parts of the country have such diverse tastes and styles.

 

My favorite food by far has to be burger and fries and pastrami

I worked at Pizza Hut as a teenager and one night all our orders were at least an hour late and I forgot a bag on my roof. Made it down the street to a turn and it flew off.Jumped out and magically the pizza was fine but the wing box exploded. I luckly had an old box I was munching on hours before so swapped em out and got the tip with wing sauce all over pizza box. Customers had no idea their pizza flew at 20 mph + onto the street.Also, have a bunch of horror stories from working at Mc Donalds. The good ole days....

The greatest food creation in the history of man had to be the Sanoran Hot Dog. I could eat one every day im serious. It’s a hot dog wrapped in bacon, covered in sautéed onions, tomatoes, jalapeno sauce, mustard and mayo, and the bun is a Balio bread which is a sweet Mexican bread! Tucson Arizona (and some other parts of Sothern AZ) is the only place you can get them. If your ever in Tucson you have to get a Sanoran Hot Dog there are hot dog carts on every corner. The Best places are:

1. BK’s Carne Asada- Tucson, AZ

2. El Guerro Canelo- Tucson, AZ

 

 

Burgers

1. In n Out- I get a double double animal style with animal style fries, or sometimes a 4X4 animal style without fries

2. My own burger- I make a Jucy Lucy with bacon and a over easy egg on top and Chipotle Mayo

3. Awful Awful- The Little Nugget, Reno, NV

4. Lindy’s of 5th- Tucson, AZ- I had a burger there with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches in place of the bun

 

Fries

1. Mias and Pias Pizzaria- a Pizza place in Klamath Falls, OR

2. The Heart Attack Grill- All you can eat fries( plus the waitresses are dressed like nurses lol)- Chandler, AZ

3. In n Out- as long as its animal style

 

Pizza

1. Sauce- Tucson, AZ

2. Joes Farm Grill- Gilbert, AZ

3. Abby’s Pizza- (all over Oregon and parts of Washington)

 

Sushi

1. Ra Sushi- Tucson, Scottsdale, Las Vegas and more

2. Tampiko Sushi- Tucson, AZ

3. Sada’s Sushi Bar- Newport, OR

 

Mexican

1. El Taco Tote- Tucson, AZ (and in Mexico)

2. BK’s Carne Asada- Tucson, AZ

3. Jalapenos- Klamath Falls, OR

 

There are more places but I don’t want to make a list a mile long
