14. "FTR, OUR def. of BBQ differs from most. It's chopped or pulled pork" In response to Reply # 10
specifically.... Vinegar based sauced in my particular region....
It doesn't align with my Detroit wife's taste buds.....lol...I remember the first time I exposed her to it she was like "Wait....what is THIS??? You said BBQ...where the sauce at??"
We call ribs, ribs.... We call bbq chicken, bbq chicken... We call brisket, brisket...
I believe some regions of the country approach it different.

Gino’s and Pat’s are only good at 3AM.

People will tell you about all the pits in Austin but an hour outside of Austin is so much better. Any of them, Blacks, Smittys (our family preference), or Kreuz is better than anything Austin offers.
Hell I’d go to Elgin before I waited an hour in line in Austin.

52. "I don't think I knew what tacos really were until I moved here" In response to Reply # 13
like yeah, I'd had hundreds of tacos in fast food restaurants and mexican restaurants and all that. I also have fam in texas and new mexico, so I'd been pretty deep into TexMex (which I like, but it's kind of it's own thing), but moving to SoCal was eye opening.
SoCal taco scene (and mexican food in general) was like a revelation. Each shop/truck has it's own method of cooking, different cuts, tortillas, and then the SALSA is a whole other level. There's so much quality out here that a weak ass taco shop won't survive.

35. "Shout out to La Teresita" In response to Reply # 21
I frequent the Tampa area, and will be moving there in a few years. Every time I come, I HAVE to stop at La Teresita. I know I probably need to try some other spots, but I've become loyal.
37. "it's definitely lemon pepper wings for Atlanta" In response to Reply # 36
lemon pepper wet is just a variation on the classic
but you're right, it's definitely not destination food.

51. "Nashville Hot Chicken is absolutely worth it." In response to Reply # 0
By “worth it” I mean sitting on the toilet with the RING OF FIRE for 45 minutes and hating your life.
The “gentrified” hot chicken at places like Hattie B’s is decent enough, but if you’re brave enough and want the OG experience, order anything above medium heat at Bolton’s and give it a shot. All the sides are trash so you know it’s legit.
Speaking of trash sides...
Are fish sandwiches a thing everywhere in the south? Hella planks of fried whiting in between two slices of shitty white bread with raw onions, pickles, mustard, and hot sauce. Ed’s Fish & Pizza in north Nashville FTW.

Actual fruit in water ice?
We have one in Charlotte. Always amazed me ATL and other southern cities didn’t have them much earlier. Seems like a no brainer.
Never got into the pretzels but there is a pretzel dog in center city in a shitty ally on 15th or 16th I believe by a Dunkin’ Donuts that was crack.

Like I love it. Go every time im in Chicago and have even driven 45 mins to the one outside of LA...but I’m not sure if it’s just kind of a cliche (sort of like In N out I guess)
