    Your Favorite Local Foods

    I moved from the Quad Cities, to Charleston over a month ago.

    One food that I miss, is the ice cream produced by the franchise called Whitey's. Whitey's is a local ice cream franchise in the Quad Cities -- on the lines of Dairy Queen, but TENS times better in quality and use of ingredients.

    I miss Whitey's ice cream.



    I look forward to pigging out on a lot of it when I visit my friends in the Quad Cities again, a week from today.


    So Americans, Europeans, Aussies and anyone else in any other part of the world. What LOCAL food service franchise are you particularly fond of? Describe it for those who don't know what you may be talking about.

      Sorry if the name Whitey's would offend PC fanatics.

      Or Gautaljaras??

        Java Noodles. Best Indonesian place I've ever been to.

          The Tamale Factory is a little place in Woodland, CA that has like 2 tables in it, but you could get tamales for 1.20 each. They were huge and total grub, the hot was actually hot and not mild like most places.

          Guadawhatevers had a Burrito that could feed a family of 5 for a week! Plus they had a chip and salsa bar.

          Also, Dos Coyotes is a great little franchise. Good specials and a Pallaya (spelling?) burrito that was to die for.

          Obviously, I like Mexican food, and good mexican food (while not hard to find around here) is the best.

            Nebraska: the Runza

            Chicago: real Chicago stuffed-pizza, Italian beef sandwiches, Maxwell St Polish sausage, pork chop sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, strawberry tamales from Pilsen, empenadas

            Miami: all you can eat stone-crab claws, conch fritters

            Seattle: sushi, fish tacos
            Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                Toronto: A spicy bowl of pho bo with fresh coriander, basil, bean sprouts, lemon and chili sauce. Cool down with an ice cold strawberry bubble tea.
                Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                    A friend was describing an Indian place in London about their hot sauses.

                      Some of us, Mr. Fun, are cultured and thus know that Vietnamese will rapidly become the new Japanese when it comes to designer dining.

                      mmmm.....Che's got me thinking about curry now. Chicken vindaloo with hot naan bread and cooling raita on the side.

                            At least it's not Cracker's Ice Cream

                            I actually saw Whitey's on The Food Network once, looked good

                              In Canada, my Indian friends made me an honourary "brown person" cause I was the only white friend they had that could handle the spice.

                              My friends in the UK are wimps and find my habit of munching on chillies like they're popcorn to be strange.
