Even more so with gyros. (-:

Great analogy. The gyros here in Florida, especially Tarpon Springs, are
the
OK. The pizza, it sucks, big time. About the only thing I miss from
Chicago is the pizza from a mom and pop restaurant.- Hide quoted text -

I don't like Chicago deep dish pizza, it ain't pizza, it's a
cassarole! Thin crust, brick oven, NY style!


Best pizzas I have ever had were in Naples, Italy. They rolled the dough
out, put on the sauce and fixings, saturated the top with olive oil then
stuck it in a big, brick oven with a wood fire in the back.
They were cooked for about 45 secs, pulled out, folded in half and served
with the oil dripping out all over the place.

There's a place just down the road that serves NY pizza. The people
that own it moved here from NY, and they do a great job of re-creating
authentic NY style in SC.

Got a a little Greek place in town that does great food as well. The
gyros, tahini, and hummus is good.

We have customers in from all over the US fo training, and they're
always amazed at the variety of good places to eat. They come
thinking it's all hog jowls and cornbread, and leave with the
realization that the stereotypes they've been fed of the south are
gone. At least in this area of the south, there's no problem finding
good ethnic foods. And they do like the local BBQ.

Been there - it is very good pizza - top notch.

Well, it may sound rather passe', but when I'm down there, the first
place I go for lunch in San Jose's - pick one, but I really like the
one over on Rt 6 behind the Carolina Wings place in Lexington.

It's become a ritual. :)

I've also been to several BBQ places - Hudson's, Maurice's (although
I'm not a big fan of mustard based sauces, but the atmosphere
is...um...interesting) and a couple others. Some chain operations that
I had never been too that are pretty good.

Breakfast? The Waffle House on Rt 6 and I-20 across the street from
the BP Kangaroo. Best damn greasy spoon I've ever been in. :)

Nothing better than an order of their hashbrowns all the way! IT's fun
to sit at the counter and watch the cook! They can sling some food!

It is indeed fun to watch. And I love the hash browns, although they
don't quite love me back with the same passion.

Do like the cheese grits though.

they WILL talk back!

San Jose's and Monterrey's are both good Mexican food. My BIL knows
the guy that owns the San Jose stores... when he starts a new one, he
goes there and gets the place started, trains the manager, and leaves
him in charge. It's all family and friends, they sponsor new
employees from Mexico by providing jobs and getting them on their
feet. The guy that owns Monterrey's lives in my neighborhood, same
deal with them it seems.

Waffle House... scattered, smothered, and covered! Oh yeah. :-)

Hog jowls and cornbread -- yummmm.

Can't believe you're putting it down like that!

One of the worst I've ever had was in Lecco, at the southern end of
Lake Como. My wife ordered lasagna, and I ordered pizza at a small
place off the main drag. The food was served. The pizza was very
small, dry, and tasted much like cardboard. The square piece of
lasagna was still frozen in the middle.

We were not impressed.
