Great places to eat, while in Taylor?

[Reddenedone]

I was looking at a list of restaurants found in Taylor... and my first question is:

Is Famous Daves BBQ any good?

What would you more knowledgeable types recommend?

Actually last year when me and girlfriend left the Open House, we stopped at Famous Daves for a late lunch. It was pretty decent. Not too far from the Open House.

Chello!

Ah, yes, but how does it compare to Texas BBQ?

(From Lone Star and proud of it!)

[Lord_Dalgard]

Chello!

lol...variety, my friend, variety. We have the tomato-based sauces, we dry spice rubs, we have sauces from south of the border, we have spicy BBQ sauce, tart, sweet, you name it!

I forget, what defines Texas BBQ? See, I'm from Kansas City where we have the most BBQ resturants per capita than any city in the US (look it up.) We do the sweeter tomato based sauces.

K.C., huh? MO or KS side? I ask, because we have a fairly sizeable delegation of Missouri gamers going.

Oh, and as far as places to eat, the only one I remember from last year is the Denny's right next to the Ramada.

Chello!

Sonic is pretty good...won't matter for the OH, but Tuesday night is half-price burgers.

My ratings for fast-food burgers is as follows:

1. Whataburger
2. Dairy Queen
3. Sonic
4. Wendy's
5. Burger King
6. McDonald's
7. Jack in the Box

Course that's just me....ymmv.

Of course, speaking of dogs, the chili dogs at der Weinerscnitznel are to die for! (Wonder if they have those in MI?)

Chello!

Very kewl....might have to hit a drive-thru!

Thanks,

Did someone say White Castle?

My wife and I both love the movie 'Harold and Kumar go to White Castle' and ever since we first seen the movie we decided we have to see what the fuss is over this place! Road Trip to White Castle! Im sure it won't beat an Apache Burger from Toronto but we're willing to check it out...

Also im told the Chilli Dogs from Sonics (sp) are to die for...

Fair warning, Whitey's is a fast food place that people seem to either LOVE or HATE. I personally think there are much better places out there for my money, but their food is OK.

The best burger places I have eaten at are the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago and Goldies in Tulsa (the Hardees chain is pretty good too). Then again, a friend of the family's cooks the best burgers I've ever tasted...

For vegetarians who are trying to forsake fast food, is this weekend going to be pretty hopeless for me??

The concept of a vegetarian at a geekfest such as this frightens and confuses me.

Spoken like a man who has never had a Whataburger.

[rat_bastard]

there is a diner with free wifi nearby called Pete's place, it looks like where I'm going to log a few posts from during.

I'll admit, I've never had one. However, the few burgers I mentioned (other than Hardee's) will be hard to beat.

Hope this helps

It does. Thank you.

Good food there too, great steak and eggs.

I like me breakfast. the "Continental breakfast" from the ramada may be stale bagels and discolored fruit slices so I may walk to Petes in the mornings.

[Reelman]

If you guys want Mexican, I urge you to drive the 20 minutes to Mexican Town in Detroit and go to one of the restaurants there. If you like tamales, go to Evie's on Bagley. No others will do. A few minutes further up I-75 will find you in Hamtramck with some excellent Polish restaurants.

I can definitely vouch for the excellent Polish restaurants, Gideon took me to dinner at this little Polish Inn when I was in Detroit a month ago and we had an awesome meal.

Unfortunately, I'm counting on it to help keep my costs down...

[rat_bastard]

I've been checking prices and food in taylor costs 75% what is costs in DC area, so I can splurge a little.

Any place that has buffet style? With kids, sometimes thats all you can do. *HUGE sigh*

If you can make sure the littlest ones are not going to drop baby debris into their diaper, I can observe your children while you and hippie mama eat somewhere and be romantic. I stress that I have no idea of how to change a diaper and my version of baby sitting is turning on the tv and periodically checking to see that nobody is bleeding or eating broken glass.

Rat_Bastard With children.... the horror....

I ask the world at large this important question.

Would you entrust rat_bastard with your offspring?

I can only imagine the years of therapy it would take to get the kids to remember that they are not Jason Richards.

I don't know if I'd trust rat_bastard's children with rat_bastard






But thanks for the offer?

[rat_bastard]

hey, I'm fine with kids old enough to use the potty, and I would like to help Hippie mama and verdilak have their vacation, I don't see you offering to help.

Perhaps it is more a question of: Do the Jason Richards robots know how to care for children? Because inevitably... I'm sure you'll use them to watch the children

The EPA won't let me use my Jason Richards Robots in the United States because of the dangerous amounts of chump they release into the air.

Since when does the EPA stop you? They put sanctions on you due to the methane emissions from all the crap you talk, but you're still going.

thats the sweet smell of truthieness.

[J. Lionheart]

Well if the robots have Jason Richards' transferred intellegence (as opposed to rat_bastard's) then they would probably be suitable as temporary childcare providers

Your children will come back unharmed, but they'll have picked up a strange habit of yelling "buy three!" every so often.

DEL TACO!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord_Dalgard]

Chello!

Is there a Del Taco nearby? all the DTs in Texas either closed or became Taco Buenos almost 20 years ago....

Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice place for dinner. I would like to take the beautiful and gracious Mrs. Reelman out for a nice dinner Thursday night as the rest of the weekend will be fast food/junk food.
