My favorite place to eat is a place in Greenville Mississippi.
Doe's Eat Place! Its been there since 1940 I think. Best Steaks in the world, and damn good hot tamales too!!!

I love going to Mother's Cafe and Garden! They have the best vegetarian/vegan dishes. I always get their garden salsa and loaded black bean burrito...mmm

For sushi I go to Hayashi. They have this Austin roll that is to die for!!!!

And well since I grew up in a bowling alley and they still have the best food ever, Dart Bowl Cafe, greasy...yes....but cheap and scrumptous~

Tonys I-75 truck stop restraunt 8781 Main Street Birch Run, MI 48415

Its a dive but if you are into huge portions of food...this is the place! 5 average size people could eat from one plate. For instance,if you were to order a BLT.....you would get at least 1.5 lbs of bacon. Everything on that menu is in massive quantity.

For anyone who likes Vietnamese food...and is in NYC...there is this small place that you would probably miss or pass by unless you knew it. Its called Thai Son and its on Baxter Street. Their food is incredible!!

The restaurant that I work in is probably the best one here. Toledo isn't a good place for a foodie.

There used to be a place near me called Fat Rascal's. It was the closest thing to Southern food around these parts and they were even featured on Alton Brown's show once.

They are out of business now (thanks economy!), but had the most delish fried sweet potato balls. They took a marshmallow, covered it in sweet potato mash and deep fried it, then dusted it in confectioner's sugar and crushed nuts (if you asked for the nuts....it didn't come with it).

Super yummy!

Great idea for a thread, Dante. By the way, that TV show is one of my favourites!! lol I didn't even know what pulled pork was before watching Diners...

hmm, I think my favourite restaurant in this category would be Peggy Sue's, just out of Vegas. FR and I stopped there on our way to Vegas, mostly because I had to use a ladies' room. LO AND BEHOLD, I was back out to the truck dragging that poor butch into the restaurant when I saw the decor. OMG, it was a 50's diner right out of a James Dean movie!!

The food was fabulous, the waitress outfits were a hoot, and the souvenir store rawked!
