You guys up in NC have some good BBQ, but Tennessee/Georgia/Virginia though...I'm the last person to go to bat for some of my ill-informed, un-cultured, barbaric brethren in my great home state. Shit, we don't even agree on how to properly prepare something as simple as pulled pork or whole hog.
That guy up there ^ is almost certainly a carpet-bagger from SC, as part of some nefarious ploy to infiltrate and leave a stain attached to NC BBQ. SC is getting desperate, I think.
There are some good BBQ in GA and other parts of the South. Ever had Brunswick stew?You guys up in NC have some good BBQ, but Tennessee/Georgia/Virginia though...
Best BBQ I've had in my life (grew up in TX) was at B's Cracklin' in Savannah GA. That man sold his soul to the devil or something.There are some good BBQ in GA and other parts of the South. Ever had Brunswick stew?

fish tacos. How is this even a question? 4 tacos for price of 3?
Except I can't get Chicken Shack any day of the week!Chicken Shack beats a Chick Fil A sandwich any day of the week and twice on Sundays

But the white cream was the best part! I guess I do like peanut butter cups, so they might work... much would probably hinge on the texture of the PB filling.Peanut Butter Ho Hos:
These were actually pretty yummy. They replaced the regular white cream with peanut butter cream, so you get peanut butter in every bite. I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised...would buy again.

If I had the time and money, I'd seriously go on a food trip of the US.

Not that I'd use my dessert calories on that over a magically delicious Kinder Happy Hippo, of course.

If you've never tried these frozen, prepare for heavenHostess Frozen Ding Dongs:
They rate a solid "meh". Stick with freezing actual Ding Dongs (and Girl Scout thin mints, om nom nom) for a better experience. Not as disappointing as Twinkie Ice Cream, but I definitely wouldn't buy them again. There just wasn't anything redeeming about them...the ice cream filling wasn't quite right (it was like cheap churned ice cream with freezer burn), the cake part was too dense & dry, and the chocolate coating fell off in slates (very messy to eat). I think I will donate these to work.
not all hot sauce is meant to be numbingly, stupidly hot. Much of it, historically, is actually about flavor. It's mostly the modern capsaicin morons that have marketed these highly unnatural peppers and ridiculous scoville numbers into "Sauces" that are designed for every thing but flavor...just pain.
I like hot, but at some point people are going to realize how dumb they've been with much of this. That being said, yeah: Texas Pete never was hot (they do have newer varieties of habenero and all that, though), and was always milder than Tobasco. For what it's worth, Louisiana Crystal (far more popular among locals than Tabasco ever was), is just as mild as Texas Pete. They are nearly identical. It's just a different thing.
Flavor is important because I don't deal with unnecessary bullshit like Ketchup or Mayonnaise. I like Hot sauce on my fries because the proper one for fries provides the only thing that is ever needed on potatoes: vinegar and a little salt. Some extra cayenne without all of the flavor-murder is a nice bonus. I'm more an more convinced that the "most be hotter than Hades!" hot sauce people simply don't care about food--just like Ketchup eaters!

We are in the "official fast food" discussion threadPeople apparently taste capsaicin differently. I've eaten sauces which barely register as spicy where other people eat them and can't talk for ten minutes. A lot of the really hot sauces do have flavor, especially stuff made with habanero peppers. They taste sweet and almost chocolatey. I eat some of them out of a spoon just for the flavor.
I mean... uh... bland ones? Sure. There's some really great chicken out there, it's just not usually at fast food places, but if you like Chick-fil-a, by all means, enjoy it. I don't have anything against you for liking it.
