YOUR FOOD OBSESSION HEADQUARTERS

[tomtomtom]

How far will you travel to obtain your favorite morsels? My general limit is 100 miles, but such quests can be combined with other travels, making the true distance hard to judge. This probably seems nutty to people in cages [cars] , but to cycle nuts it is a handy way to provide a destination to ride to. I understand there is a great Vietnamese restaurant in Etna, anyone been there? HAPPY NEW HAIR!!! :lol:

Hmm, I usually travel 100 miles or so to go to good Asian restaurants, 'cause there are none around here. But, I usually go with a lot of friends and we go so we can also stock up on cooking supplies at the Asian markets in Atlanta as well. Soooooo it's more of a necessary trip I guess, unless we wanna go to small over-priced Asian markets 45 min. away.

I travelled cross country to get In-N-Out. (of course, this was combined with a few other things) :)

[tomtomtom]

:P Speaking of food, does anyone know if Quan Yuk [I think] noodles are still available? I think they were from San Francisco and the best I that I ever had. If not, any reccomendations? Thankx, tomtomtom

I made a 250 mile round trip for steak and fries at this bar I used to frequent before i moved to London.

[contra_diction]

it's not asian food but i go to Marine World (with a season pass) just for churros and funnel cakes, and don't even ride the rides sometimes.

10 miles for wendy’s. its not far, but I live in the city so it’s an incredible effort to get out into the burbs. Amish food, 3 hours one way, to Indiana. So so good. Heavy old german/pa dutch cooking.

[nudel]

i'm missing in n out burger. woudn't mind driving to ca for it. by the way, does anyone know how its been doing, business wise, are they public? i wonder why they havn't moved out further into the country.

[Hanuman]

Hmmm, I'm not too much of a travel for food guy. When I'm hungry, I'll eat anything that's close and conveniant. When I was eating crappy, I'd take a ride to White Castle to cure the craving once in a while and that was about 15 miles.

if you're gonna go to in-n-out, you gotta try the animal style fries! i just tried them last night. didn't even know they existed till now! i like the well done fries too though.

:lol: I'm up in the stix of Northern California, near the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Talmage, which has, by the way, a great vegetarian Chinese restaurant, tucked away in the back!

omg, i *love* the vegetarian restaurant by the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas!! by eureka, right? have you ever eaten *in* the temple, with the monks? their food is pretty nasty (no offense to the monks).

[tomtomtom]

Ukiah, actually! I've never eaten in the temple, I heard that the food was pretty basic, which probably goes with sleeping sitting up and rising at 3am! :rolleyes:
