1) Fajitas 2) Brisqit (sp?) 3) Sausage 4) Ribs 5) BBQ chicken (bathed in beer... mmmm) But other than that Mexican food in general. People, if it's actually spicy it's a cheap knockoff. True Mexican food is full of spices, not spicy... there's a huge difference. |

For me its not so much food, but sweet ice tea, its REAL hard to find anywhere but in the south, I hate going somewhere and being given that nestea lemon crap or having someone give me unsweet and telling me to put sugar in it. Don't these people realize if the sugar isnt dissolved in the tea when its HOT its going to taste like shit? Trying to put sugar in cold tea and have it mix up right is like trying to mix oil and water..ewww nasty tasting stuff

Actually I'm not crazy about the regional food around here. It's primarily a German, Polish influence. We have lots of kraut, and brats, and stuff. I hate kraut and rarely am in the mood for brats. They made me ill to smell it cooking even.
I love Onion soup (found that in Pittsburgh) and grits. You'll never find grits on the menu in a restaurant around here. Sometimes it's hard to find in the stores even. Also I can't find much Ocra either. I love that in soup. I was born in South Carolina and lived there till I was schoolage. Guess that accounts for my food tastes.

Barbecue. NC has lots of BBQ. Unfortunately, few North Carolinians make it the way God meant it to be made--mustard based sauce. It is *all* about that stuff... Anyone from SC can tell you--its great stuff. Besinger's, Melvin's whatever... Its all good stuff, and beats the crap out of the vinegar based stuff.

Food is such a funny thing.
It's what we grow up with that we think is best. I've had Mexican food all over the country (not to mention Mexico) and I'll take the stuff from some of the dives down on Federal Blvd. over it any day of the week. Same with Italian. Growing up in Denver's Little Italy (north Denver, now Little Mexico), I feel I've had some of the best, authentic Italian food there is, but I've had NY snobs tell me no. Whatever. I've also eaten BBQ all over this great nation, and the BEST BBQ I've EVER had was in this little hole-in-the-wall in New Ellenton, SC. (The Blue Moon BBQ in Kentucky (Paducah?) is second.) Yeah, that means I think it's better than Texas style. Folks, it all boils down to what you like.

There's this small place in my home town called Casa Gourmet that makes the best quesadillas I've ever tasted. Sure, quesadillas aren't really specific to CA but goddamn, the ones they make at Casa are so good....I want one right now.
/me salivates P.S. In N Out is the best!

Hippy-tofu anything...one of the things I truly love about where I'm living now.
And the Burrito Buggy. Burritos made by environmentally-aware art students with dreads featuring all kinds of "organic" non-Mexican stuffins. Fan-fuckin-tastic. No lie. From back home: sweet tea, the way it's supposed to be, and biscuits from Tudor's Biscuit World.
