I'm only about 2 hours west of NYC
You get something similar from Outback for £4.95 :D
Stouffer's French Bread Pizza FTW. Best Frozen Pizza Evar. Note that I did qualify that with the word frozen. The best real pizza comes from a little place in Manhattan's upper west side called Coronet. I'll be sure to get a pic next time I go.

phelan1777, the review for the steak sandwiches is funny. The meat tastes like leather!!!
lol:Just a few weeks ago we were in Philly for over a week. We stopped in at Pat's. The sandwich was average at best. The steak was chewy and dry, two pieces of cheese do not a philly ...

Pat's and Geno's Are the Worst... - goeagles1975 - Oct 16, 2007
Skip Pat's and Geno's the steak tastes like leather, are small for the price you pay, and are no more than tourist traps. I have never understood why these 2 places are considered ...
Well it does come from a Cow..............so what would you expect :rofl:Quote:

there are a million variables.
There was a chain here called Philly Cheez, and they had some great steak sandwiches!!! There is also the cheese steak factory but are not as good.
Where is here?Quote:

None of the paisan eat at a place like Coronet ! You've got to hang out in Bensonhurst or Bay Ridge and learn your Italian food :)
I need a recipe for those deep dish pizza's you seem to get. Pizza Hut deep pan is about as good as it gets for me....well i get a chicken supreme and add $14 worth of toppings (7)....then nacho's....then cheesy garlic bread....then chicken wings :D
Pizza hut for me usually weighs in at about £25 / $50
Good grief, man.
Pizza Hut is junky and does taste good if you crave greasiness. However, you can do so much better than Pizza Hut, man.
Deep dish isn't even Italian. Its a Chicago concoction. The kings of deep dish in Chicago are Lou Mainati's and Gino's, and then there's Uno's which is now a darn family restauarant with sub-standard food.
True Italian pizza is more like a focaccia. They don't use shredded mozarella but real fresh mozarella. They don't slather tomato sauce or any of the canned sh1t that goes onto a typical pizza these days. They use only sliced fresh vine tomatoes.
There's Sfincione. which Americans refer to as Sicilian pizza, where the toppings are stuffed inside the dough, but again that's not supposed to use mozarella, but pecorino cheese.
The best part about Italian food in New York is that you get to eat in Italian neighborhoods. If the food is crap, the paisan will pay a visit and shut it down the next day. Of course, everyone obeys or else...
I can see where he's coming from. Britain is rife with pizza hut. other chains are non existent. pizza hut is a guilty pleasure for me. once a year and i'm good. and their breadsticks mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Okay so where did you go for your masters in food? Should I dare ask what the tuition is like? seriously, I think you have commented on more food here in this thread then I have eaten in my life time. I mean I know you are older then me and have been around a bit, but damn. That is food education abroad. Sign me up!Quote:

My boss thought I was nuts, because I was so "anal" about the dough but seriously, that is one express ride to the ER.
I was rtying to say that eating pre packaged pizza is a joke, not disputting what you said earlier. I mean there is real pizza, then there is the shop pizza (papa johns, Pizza hut, dominos) then there is the pre packed stuff off the store shelf.Quote:

I would bring my brother to KFC (he's 12 years younger) when he was 10 years old, and he would finish a family meal by himself... eight pieces plus two large sides plus three biscuits... plus two large drinks. As for me, when I was ten, I would take a whole de-necked unskinned chicken and cook it the way it is, roast it, and finish it. When I was seven years old, I finished a Big Mac, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, large fries, a large Chocolate shake, apple pie and hot fudge sundae. That was in Asia. So much for the American junk food fat stereotypes :rofl: :ROTF:
Another problem is that I was always a geeky dork growing up. In college, I had my fair share of first dates... lots of them.. but no second dates :ROTF:

*Runs off to find a metriperial conversion chart...*
Yankee - thats cause the good places are all hidden.
Angus steak houses are overpriced and the quality is shockingly bad compared to somewhere like Outback and Old Orleans.
Soho is where the good restaurants are at....Soho Pizzeria on Beak street for italian style (non-commercial) pizza, Wardour Street for every kind of Oriental Food going...
Have you had a Chicken Doner Kebab yet? If not - next time you're in London, get on the Piccadilly Line and get off at Southgate. Right opposite the station theres 'The Charcoal Grill Kebab House'
Go in there and ask for a Chicken Doner with Salad and a side of Homous and ask if you can eat in...
If you can finish everything they bring you, they'll respect you :D
When I was a kid, if I ate more then then 4-5 pieces of KFC, later that night I would seriously regret my consumption of all that greasy chicken.
I had an idea, lol, Iany's Guide to Geeks College Eating on the cheap and winning the hearts of the Co-eds!:up:
It makes sense, Kai. How many mom and pop places have the dough to put a place in pall mall or picadilly?
...and outback... :sick:
Gourmet 'Italian' pizza is great. But everything in America, especially pizza in Chicago, is not "crap". Furthermore, living in a large and very diverse city such as I do, I don't have to get on a plane to experience food exactly like the pictures you posted.
I realize you're an experienced "foodie" but give me a break...
Outback over there is apparrently a lot different than over here...dunno why, probably because almost everything thats artificial thats used there, is banned here.
As for KFC - i can beat all of you. I used to get the Mega Bucket - which was 10 pieces of chicken (i'd make sure they were all legs), large popcorn chicken, hot wings and a tub of coleslaw. I could demolish it all in under an hour :D
Actually the best pizza in the United States is this place: http://www.pizzeriabianco.com/
No joke, top rated in the United States and a contender for the world.
[Edit:]I suppose I should quantify my response.

What i meant to say is i remember a dubious flirtation with the introduction of both Taco Bell and Wendy's...both of which fell flat on their face. In 1991 british society had only just adjusted to McDonalds, and Taco's were a step too far, seeing as we have almost NO experience of what actual mexican food tastes like. Wendy's was the same, they just never had any repeat business. Square burgers? Far too wierd for us.
Wendy's v Wimpy's :cool:
We have Wendys over here as well - but they dont make burgers afaik - just ice cream & the occassional hotdog..Quote:

I ate what was supposed to be their premium sandwich.. Angus Third Pound... it was dry and the juicy fat content was missing from the patty.. sounds like someone ran that sucker throughthe microwave ten times. A rubber tire would have been more tender. You could throw it against the wall and it will bounce back and smack you in the ass.
The fries were hot out of the fryer but were bland... vegetable oil... give me the animal lard!! The fries had no taste.
Coke is supposed to be coke all around the world, but my Coke tasted flat and icky... not that I have tasted urine, but that's probably what urine tastes like.
I decided that my ass needed more fat, so I asked for a hot fudge sundae. I had to order in Spanish because the cashier had no idea what hot fudge was. And then I asked for nuts, and she said .. its either fudge or nuts... so I raised Cain and embarrassed the manager.
It was the most pleasant experience indeed!
Gimme the fat and the lard!! When I ask for ice cream, don't give me frozen yogurt!!
Thankfully our fast food outlets haven't sunk low enough so we have to learn another language in order to order the food we want.
Well, there are enough employees that are polish, but i refuse to bow down and speak someone elses language on my home turf. I do what all brits do abroad and SPEAK SLOWER AND LOUDER. If that fails i swear at them and go take my business elsewhere...
And the last time i saw a Wimpy's was in 1988....i had my 6th birthday party in one in West Drayton...i got a cricket bat :D

Of course...for better or worse. There's even a Starbucks in Kuwait!Quote:

Ugh, McDonald's is an affront to God and humanity. The last time I ate there was probably 4 years ago or more, and the Big Mac, once actually a big sandwich, had been reduced to a small, reheated abomination. Even their quarter pounders with cheese have taken a nosedive, and those are pretty damn hard to screw up.Quote:

It's also cheap, but chips are a whole $.75 extra.
Yeah, Chipotle is pretty good. Heh, McDonalds had a majority ownership in them until late 2006.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...Tenderloin.jpg
That's what I'll be eating in approximately 3 hours!
Machine shed has one of the best tenderloins I've ever had, pair it with a stuffed pork loin and a cinnamon roll and I'm in heaven.
if you are ever in Raliegh, NC. not a bad place to get alittle bit of everything: http://www.buffbrothers.com/
really not a bad place to eat and pretty decent prices. they have a PDF verison of their menu, just check what they got.
and as for the Buffalo Chicken Wings, here you go: http://www.foodbyphone.com/dishphoto...ffalowings.jpg
thats what im talking about, except i get a order of 50 wings, Medium Xtra Crispy. yummy!!!!!. i had a place in Elkhart, IN where i lived called Wings ETC.. and i will say they beat Buffalo Brothers, but Buff Bros. will do till i find a way back to the Frozen Tundra of HELL. :P
I'll have to post my fried lettuce. You basically batter a head of lettuce and then deep fry it. The only way to eat lettuce.

fried lettuce, are you retarded, you don't fry lettuce, you are suppose to eat it fresh and crisp. thats the proper way to eat lettuce, you don't see rabbits eating that fried do you.
as for fried cheese, OMG, that is like cheesy crack for people, its so good. as for fried twinkies, never had one, but I'm sure its good, just like the non-fried version.
I think this is the angriest I've ever seen someone get about the proper way to cook vegetables. :p:Quote:

As far as I know its commonly viewed as being "higher end" food stuff, I think more so because of the prices.Quote:

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Indian Food - Chicken Tikka Masala.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ka_Masala.jpeg
or if you like it hot Chicken Phall / Phaal
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaal"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaal[/URL
Indian Food is the most popular takeaway in britain although i doubt if it bears any real resemblance to the true Indian food.
The tikka masala, like the Korma is a dish invented for western palates...but still, it comes from an Indian takeaway :D
I'm more of a magmaloo man myself ;)
Man... Korma.. Masala... get with the real stuff, man. No western softball non-spicy stuff.
How about some Vindaloo (you guys call it Magmaloo in the UK... ) ?
Sorry I grew up in the part of the world that eats fresh chilly peppers as a condiment.
The second picture is still Chicken Tikka, but at least it uses Jalfrezi sauce (ie, super spicy).
Biryani is pretty good..
OK.. This is not intended to gross anyone out, but this was one of my favourite dishes growing up. And my favourite part was the eyes (and I'm not joking). Its indigenous to the region I grew up.
Nope thats what the laydeez order real men eat phallQuote:

Since were on the subject anyone know where I can get a truly hot sauce from? Im stuck with habanero from tesco's but need loads to get a good zing going.
Hot sauce you say?
Here you go :up:
He's in Brighton, UK but will ship to most places.
Dragons Blood is supremely fiery.
Put the bog roll in the fridge first ;)
No, vindaloo is still vindaloo, but then you get the Phaal, then the Magmaloo, which has been described as being served with a fire extinguisher and tastes like you just swallowed a marine distress flare.
Speaking of food, I'm going out to Satisfaction (the local pizza place/bar I mentioned earlier). Great pizza, fries, wings, sandwiches, etc. I think they've got about 80 beers on tap.
If you want to beat the Indian MrMagoo or Man igloo or whatever it is called then you should have eaten the yellow chillies we grew at work 3 years ago. Man they were hot. We had not watered them very well so when they came off the plant they were lethal.
The problem with most spicy food is that you can't taste what you have spiced. I'd rather have a coconut mild curry where I can taste whether the meat flew, gave milk or liked to snuffle about in the earth.
Lets face it, hot spices were done in the old day because with the lack of the fridge you had to do it to hide the taste, but nowadays you don't.
It's a waste of a good animal. Mind you, so is the Mcdonalds hamburger.
