Pork Tenderloin Sandwich (and geographic specialties)

[Eric]

I could kill for one right now! Even one from Oogie's would do. They are not known down here (unless you get the pork sliced down by the butcher and make em yourself - even then, talk about beating your meat!).

What are some of the specialty foods you like that you can't find in your part of the country you live?

Mexican food!!

Around here there just isn't any decent Mexican food.

Really good Italian! Olive Garden just doesn't do it...

 

[Greg]

...oh, and a REAL pastrami sandwich like the kind you can get in quality NY delis.

 

[Mickeyray5]

Damn, I'm still hungry...

 

[tedski]

Sliders (White Castles) ... I know, but I still like 'em.

A good Po' Boy sandwich.

Lobster Rolls

Texas BBQ

 

[Trumpetchris]

Philly Cheesesteak, a good Italian sub, and a soft pretzel. Wash it down with a Yuengling black and tan

Sliders (White Castles) ... I know, but I still like 'em.

I miss them as well. Spent many nights in the stainless steel mecca known as White Castle back in Cincinnati.

They did just build one about 45 miles away....Road trip.

I'm originally from Tennessee, and moved back here 2 years ago. But when I lived in Northern Virginia, I noticed there was a shortage of sweet ice tea at restaurants. The ice tea is always sweet in the south, but the DC Metro area just doesn't get it.

Also, that same area is missing sliders. To the south of there, Krystal is everywhere. To the north, White Castle. In the DC area, no slider joints.

When I moved back here to TN after 9 years in NoVA, I missed 5 Guys Burgers (Best burgers on earth). Now, a 5 Guys has opened in Knoxville. HELL YEAH! I still miss Vienna Inn. Any NoVA brothers know about Vienna Inn? Mmmmm.... chili dog heaven.

 

[Mikes]

I crave for real Portillos Chicago Style Hot dogs and Italian Beef sandwiches.

 

[derfatdutchman]

A hungarian hotdog from Tony Pacco's and some decent BBQ!

Lamb Fries- Gardnerville, NV an acquired taste

I'm rollin in the pork BBQ here in TN. Sad that Texans live and die by beef. Great as a steak pure shite as BBQ.

In my lil corner of Tn we have chocolate gravy. Not that is not a euphimism for diarrhea it is gravy you put on biscuits. It's phenom!

 

[Black Dog]

I still miss Vienna Inn. Any NoVA brothers know about Vienna Inn? Mmmmm.... chili dog heaven.

Oh, yeah! It's been years since I've been but my office used to be up around the corner from the Vienna Inn.

 

[Wasch_24]

I miss the chain restaurant 'On the Border'...none here in the Omaha area.

On the plus side we have Sonic though. :grin:

 

[mwilson]

Loves me the chili dog combo with ched r peppers
