Is that a chain? If so, which shop do you go to?Quote:

Is Tasty's still around?
Southern-maid is all over the SBC. Don't know about anywhere else.Quote:

I have to give the nod to Southern Maid when it comes to dounuts.
On the way to both Alabama games in the 90s, I ate at Dreamland, and their BBQ is awesome. Dowling's ranks high though.
I lived in Ft. Worth for about 6 months and Joe T's was very good, but I thought La Familia gave them a strong run for their money. Best Mexican was probably Chuy's in Dallas.
Best shrimp and grits was at Schooner's in Panama City Beach. Cool place to have a beer too.
Speaking of beer, if you're ever in Sacramento, CA, try the Rosebud Strong Ale at The Rubicon Brewing Company downtown. (My cousin owns the joint, but the beer really is good)
Best steak was probably at Carnevino in Las Vegas. Second is probably Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse in New Orleans. The Cub in Shreveport also ranks high and The Cub has the best Au Gratin potatoes.
Best salmon was at the Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage, AK. They only used wild Alaskan salmon, and their really is a difference.
Best pizza was at The Moose's Tooth, also in Anchorage.
Best fried chicken was at my grandmother's house. Never had anything that good at Popeye's or KFC.
We've got a Chuy's in Fort Worth now. I have eaten at that one and the one in Dallas and while they're not bad - I've not really been overwhelmed.Quote:

A lot of my friends swear by Uncle Julio's but they haven't impressed me at all.
My favorite Fort Worth Mexican place is La Playa Maya.
Chuy's has great sauces and great drinks. The food is good, but not great.Quote:

Chuychanga with deluxe tomatillo sauce rocks! Used to eat there at least twice a week and would gorge on the creamy jalapeno sauce.Quote:
