A one pound cheeseburger with a side of fries and a drink of your choice from Fuddruckers.
Man, I miss living in Tulsa. I lived right down the street from Fuddruckers and probably gained 15lbs from that place. The food is so great..Quote:

on a scale of 1 to 10, Fuddruckers is a fucking 4 on the hamburger scale, and possibly 2 on the food scale. What a fucking joke.
you calm the fuck down, Bobak.
YOU COOL IT MAN.
I couldn't even imagine where to start on this question... I'd suggest things like (in no particular order, but things I think are magnificent):
- real, authentic poutine.
- A perfect chocolate chip cookie (there are a number of good places).
- french dip, double dip from Philippe's, alongside coleslaw and a piece of their apple pie
- authentic cheesesteak wit' wiz.
- juicy steak from a place like Ruth Chris, Mastro's or Manny's (I prefer filet or sirloin).
- Anything by Joel Robuchon.
- Emeril's incredible BBQ shrimp (I've had it four times, it never disappoints).
- Crayfish etouffee equal to what's at the Bon Ton Cafe.
- Just about anything at Antoine's, Galatoire's, Commander's Palace, Brennan's, or Couchon
- high quality sushi, not rolls which can mask serious issues (including the best flavors)
- Fresh tuna belly for breakfast at one of the stalls in the Tsukiji market
- Bobby Flay's Coffee Rubbed Steak at Mesa Grill
- chili-cheese fries from the original Tommy's shack
- Japanese curry, katsu or shrimp
- palak paneer and naan, but only if done right --let me know where you find it, btw
- a well appointed charcuterie plate
- foie gras cooked by someone who knows what to do with it
- Good pate
- any Michelin 3-star
- the beef barg with rice at Shamshiri in Westwood
- fresh, raw, creamy oysters from the Pacific Northwest
- lobster roll equivalent or better than the one at Todd English's Kingfisher Hall in Boston
- halva
- thick, fresh clam chowder
- fried clams from the Clam Box in Ipswitch, MA
- well-made risotto (easier said than done)
- dinner at The Rules, London --proof English food can actually be good (which is nobel prize worthy)
- lemon ricotta hotcakes and Rosti potatoes from Hell's Kitchen, Minneapolis
- fresh bread and top quality Caspian caviar (I didn't believe how good it was until I tried the good stuff.. its like how bad quality booze can prematurely sway your judgment)
- bacon pancakes from the Original Pancake House chain, assuming all franchises are as good as each other
- blue-cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped, dates: My god, they're awesome.
- jamon iberico (if you can find it outside Spain, get it)
- ropa vieja, fried plantains and black bean soup at a place like Versailles in Miami (or the LA knockoffs)
- just about anything from El Cholo's main location on Western in LA, make sure to wash it down with a Cadillac Margarita or two.
I could keep chugging these out, but I'm getting hungry despite being full from a supper club I tried here in Green Bay.
I can't eat any more Beef Paties... I used to eat one at the end of every bar night from the Habibian Deli. With Coco Bread, CHeese and Hot sauce.Quote:

Birthday Cake Ice Cream from Richardson's in MA.
Vanilla cake batter base with chunks of frosting and cake pieces in it.
Used to eat this once a week or so before I gave up the crap food.
I could easily eat a drum of this in one sitting.
Sounds more like a dessert everybody should have (at least once) before they die rather than a meal. :lolz:Quote:

Roti. Just by itself, these are a meal for me. But if they do go bets with the goat curry.
frozen pizza + cold beer = super-happy-amazing-fun-time........
but seriously.... fuddruckers is one of the worst chains in the industry....
Very nice topic. :)
As for me, I would start by saying is not just about the meal/food per se, but also about the experience you get having that meal/food.
I.E. I *luv* cheap&good food over expecive&posh food. I'm not talking about junk food, don't get me wrong (though I must say Burger King has some nice treats as well) but mostly referring to popular, common food.
My most beloved food is Kansai food. Kansai, as you may know, is one region in Japan, the one with Osaka (and SNK, yes). I could seriosly eat Kasai-ryouri (that's Kansai-cuisine) everyday. Treat me with some serious (I mean the real deal, not the tourist fake shit) okonomiyaki, takoyaki, katsu-karee rice, Osaka-style sushi, whatever. And I'll be happy. :)
Eveything I've posted is best enjoyed with some beer:

Also I like Arby Q's but I cant find a picture of it.
Someone pick me out some good shit from here: http://www.aladdinseatery.com/

Pecan pie is by far my favorite desert. I only have it once in a great while as its pretty heavy. I like to put a scoop of ice cream on top :drool_2:

Honey Shrimp and Walnuts. Rarely ever printed on a Chinese menu unless high class, but they will make it for you if you ask for it at any Chinese restaurant.

Don't blame me if you keep going back for more.
Dude, he got me hooked on this shit!Quote:

If you have any Jamaican or Caribbean restaurants in your area you owe it to yourself to get a freshly made beef patty. on the topic of coco bread any west indian bakery worth its salt will have it; and while you are there pick up some coconut bread. It's about as dense as fruitcake but tastes like fruit instead of liquor.Quote:

I'm glad I ate before returning to this thread :p
I'll dig up some photos later.
Argh, that was the one I was hoping no one would ask: I had them once, as a special, at a restaurant that never had it on the menu again :( It was the Border Grill, which now has a few locations in LA and one in Vegas --I've met the two women who founded it, they have a real gift with pan-Latin American food. I guess you could try making your own, but I don't know if there's a trick --with that said, the three flavors so perfectly compliment each other: the first thing you taste is the smoky bacon, then you get the power of blue cheese in a later harmony with the rich, sweet flavor of the dates. As soon as I saw the special I though "wow, this could really work!" It did. I've since been to a place that did bacon and dates, but it wasn't the same.Quote:

I cant really think of anything
But i love seafood and anything chinese.
Hmm I would like to try certain cooked insects, or frog flesh in china ; )
haven't been there in at least 10 years. I'm going to try it again to see if it's worth it.Quote:

The only reason to go to Fuddruckers is to see if you can actually eat a 1LB burger. It's a right of passage for any man worth his salt.
After that, you don't really need to go back.

The place is a local legend, and I had everything on the plate, known as the Gallyburger: three 1/3 lb patties.
It's as good as local gets up in Superior. Better than the chain crap.

My shame is I still haven't gone to one of the two local birthplaces of the Jucy Lucy.
Bobak, you realize where I lived in MO was a cultural wasteland, right?Quote:

It was me vs the burger and I won each time. I've nothing left to prove.
You ever watch Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network? I love that show because those are the types of places I generally want to hit up when I go out to eat.
I haven't, but there's an excellent place near where Djdelly used to live (a small town just beyond the urban sprawl of the Twin Cities) that was featured on the Food Network: The Peppermint Twist. The burgers were all that were worth having, but holy cow were they ultra-greasy goodness.Quote:

Again, crazy coincidence we're talking burgers, I was in Sault St. Marie, MI a few days ago and I went to their own U.P.-famous chain of Clyde's Drive-Ins (the original is in the Soo):

These onion rings were possibly the best I've ever had... the burger was good, but these rings were like a spiritual experience (possibly worthy of a space on my list). My decision to get a chocolate shake proved to be forgettable.

My favorite burger joint in my home town was John's Burgers, it became a local chain for all the right reasons --the burgers were ridiculously good.
Now that you're in CA, you must track down an In-N-Out if you haven't already (EDIT: there's one in Auburn, lucky man). Remember to read up on the "secret menu" before you go.
The secret menu?
I hit up In-N-Out but I didn't really care for it.
Not that it was bad or anything it's just not what I'm looking for. A classic burger joint? Eh. It's cheap and they're open late, so I do see the appeal - but it just doesn't appeal to me. It's still fast food IMO even if it's better than the super franchise joints (McDs, BK, etc.)
I haven't had a milkshake from their, so I need to go do that soon.
The hidden religious stuff was creepy.
I'd rather go to Wiener Works and get a hot dog, chili cheese fries, and a beer.
I didn't even know they had shakes, or at least had a friend order one... its all about the double-double and animal style fries for me.Quote:
