got any favs?


I don't know if I really have any favs up here. I like Emily's Pancake House, but I won't miss it too terribly when we move because I like IHOP just as much :lol

In Jacksonville, I had a couple favs. Clark's Fish Camp was AWESOME. I loved Dick's Wings (omg, cajun ranch buffalo wings :sadeyes ). I also loved Johnny Carino's, which I didn't think was "local" but I guess it probably is since most people have not heard of it.

From Tennessee, I'd say Cock of the Walk (country cookin with fried chicken, fried pickles, big pots of veggies served in big pots!) and also Po' Folks. Damn, I am so hungry right now :jk

Up here I love Max & Irma's, the Rain Forest, The Triangle, and (thanks to Kristi :lol ) The Silo.

In FL. it is Sweet Tomatoes, Sticky Fingers, and St. John's Seafood and Steaks.

In Maryland (this is kinda pathetic but....) I love IHOP. The one in Pax was the best one I have ever been at. It may not be as good now but when we were there it was really good. Maybe that was because I was preggo with Breanna though. :teehee

In Ohio it is the Barn, and was Curly's (he retired so now that is gone :( ).

I will miss our local Chinese place here but not On the Border. After what happened last time and then the slap in the face yesterday, they can rot in hell.

back-from-the-dead post!

My favorites are Chipotle, Carrabbas and there's a Cuban restaurant called Don Ramon's here, which is one of my favorites, but they've gotten stingy and jacked their prices up so I am no longer a patron, amigo :no
