Calfee Jones Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Up in NE Ohio I have enjoyed Panera (franchised bakery, sandwiches, soups) - Good quality breads and comfort food. Also Chipotle (mexican - 5 things on the menu in 4 different varieties - good quality and reasonable prices). i recently moved to the Memphis area - I haven't found a Panera or chipotle yet. But they do have a local (?) chain of BBQ places called Corky's. And of course the everpresent Waffle House... - Calfee Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBBPaul Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Culvers - Home of the Butter Burger. They are a Wisconsin based company (where else could you sell a Butter Burger?) and the fastest growing franchise in the US. Their food is far superior to McDonalds/BugerKing etc. and reasonably priced. It's easy to see why they're doing so well.

MattFacingSouth Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hmmm... in GF we have a few hometown restaraunts, but not a lot of fast food. I guess the Red Pepper would qualify as a local favorite. I like it, but not as much as everybody else here. It's basically a bland tortilla with bland meat and bland beans, lots of cheese and really spicy sauce (if you want). No blend of flavors, though. We've also a Burger Time which is basically a White Castle. Other chains are what you'd expect (Taco Bell, BK, McD's, etc.) but we also have some of the newer "gourmet" chains like Jimmy John's and Qdoba, which the jury's still out on compared to Chipotle. Now, back home is some food to die for. Stuff like Jimboy's Tacos, Adalberto's, I really miss Del Taco and Jamba Juice, too. Hell, even Jack-in-the-Box would be nice.

Botch. Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hello Matt, welcome to the Forums! I lived in GF for three years and left in 95, just a few months before the killer flood. While not "fast food", there was an excellent Mediterranian restaurant in the southeast corner of town, lot of the college professors hung out there, what was the name of it and is it still there, do you know? But yeah, I don't recall much for fast food there at all.

Shars Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 This took me ages to read, dam it! Tell you what I really love. Kebab rolls. Not your normal ones from the kebab shops but the Indian ones. 2 rolls of seasoned minced meat cooked on a skewer and wrapped in a nan bread with salad and yogurt with mint and chilli sauce if you like it. Yum! If you have never been to East London, there are tons of Indian Kebabish take aways that do all sorts of curries, breads and rice dishes. Well worth a visit. I'm hungry now Oh and as we are on the subject of food, remember i was on about that nasty black pudding thing some english people have for breakfast thats made of blood? well I found out that white pudding is the other version except its made of the brains of a pig! Disgusting! www.myspace.com/yacababy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shars Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Its not really a pudding, its more of a big sausage like a salami or baloni(spelling?). Disgusting stuff as far as I can tell. www.myspace.com/yacababy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good greasy burgers, cute girls on rollerskates, outstanding frozen custard. That's one I forgot about - Kopp's! Any SE Cheeseheads know what I'm talking about.

MattFacingSouth Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Botch, I've been here since '99, and the only Med restaurant I can think of would have been Giulliana's, an Italian place that opened in '02 but gone now. It was right next to (the site of) the old Toppers ice cream parlor that burned down in 2001. Funny side story: about a week after I got here my suitemates took me to Toppers and had me convinced it was a strip club, what with the flashing sign and the name. Anyway, to make a short story shorter, I ended up disappointed. Come to think of it now, there are no restaurants on the SE side of town - most everything is along 32nd Ave S. That area has grown up so much in the last 5 years you wouldn't recognize it. If anybody is from the MN/ND area, names like the Green Mill and Buffalo Wild Wings are pretty popular and not bad joints, if ya ask me, don'cha know.
