Food ~ Where You Been? What You Had? Why You Like It?

Good looking (back at you) plate of food.

Because of WACKER, I've received many an odd look from other diners while taking a pic of my meal before digging in. Sometimes, those odd looks start with my wife while I'm staging (our) food for the perfect shot.

Prairie Pounder, that is so funny about the "look" from others because I too have picked up the habit of taking pictures of our food for our dear friend Wacker! But as Wacker said,
"it's nice seeing different stuff where people go and eat".

I've thought about trying to act like a food critic, so people might think I was someone cool. Maybe jot down some notes. Talk into my phone, perhaps. But even if that worked, it would be short lived. I eat like a hungry dog and don't know which fork to use.

The food-critic ploy could work for you and Jim. You two are highly refined and polished. In a non-snooty kind-of-way.

Greg tried to keep his salad fork on a cruise and the waiter made him give it up. The waiter showed us 5 different forks to be used for different foods. When Greg said, "There's nothing wrong with this fork, I'll keep it." The waiter said, "Oh no, the dishwasher needs his job too."

Has anyone tried a "Quaker Steak & Lube"??
An ad for the one near Scranton indicates motorcycles hanging from the ceiling??

Yes, Jim and I have eaten at "Quaker Steak & Lube". We use to stop each month on our business trips to Michigan and I think the town was called Cranberry, PA. There specialty is wings and they have so many different kinds to choose from and lots of different sauces. The food was very good.

Yep, been there for the wings multiple times. They have some pretty good sauces. The orginal location is in Sharon, PA.



Been to the original location a couple of times and to one of their locations on west of Cleveland.

Busy place.

I guess I'm going to have to find one someday and try it out.

There is one in South Charleston , WV on 119 just as you are leaving town.
About 1/2 hr north of the Coal River trailhead .
That one and some of the ones in Ohio ( Dayton , Columbus )have race cars hanging from the ceiling and inside & outside.
They sponsored our race cars & Truck about 10 years ago at Daytona , Nashville , ,Charlotte ,Kentucky Talladega & some other races .
The last time I was at the one in South charleston WV pieces of our old Arca Ford Taurus were still in there and so were pictures of our race team.
I hauled the M&M's car that's at the Dayton Ohio store from Charlotte to Dayton .
The Budweiser #8 car hanging in Columbus was originally a Busch grand national car & the Valvoline car out front was originally a #26 Johnny Benson Hamburger Helper decaled Roush Road race car that Sarah Fischers dad had
purchased from Earl Baltes . They never ran it in.
We re-made that car into a Valvoline Taurus after is weathered a few years.

Nice info. thanks. Cabelas is across from the one in Charleston

I'm closer to one then I thought... it's a 'two fir' on the way to HMT.

Also there is one in Wheeling Wv. next to the Cabela's. Been there myself.

! Guess I know where we will have stop next time we're going through South Charleston!

Yampol stayed near Cranberry Pa on business trip...but didn't know about the one there either.

Where is Sharon, PA? ....

Just across the OH/PA border, east of Youngstown, off I-80.

There is one in the same area as the Wheeling Cabelas store. Been there a couple of times. The wings are good and so are the burgers. I felt like they over-sold the heat of their wings. I had mild wings my first visit when I thought they would be "hot". If you want truly hot wings, you need to order close to the top of their heat range.

I'm been in Miami since Wednesday for the boat show. It seemed fitting to eat directly off the boat last night. It was some place on Washington Street. It was good.

To each their own. That is probably the only diet that would work for me.

yea.....

Looks like someone forgot to deep fry your food Lee

That's a pretty big fish boat you had there Lee...

It was for more than me. Boss ordered two of them for 8 eaters. Have I finally hit on something you will not eat Greg? That place didn't even have silverware. The toothpicks, and for some reason eveyone had two, were big enough you could spear your grub with them. Maybe we were suppose to add line and 'fish' or something.

I'll never say never... but let's just say it's not high on my list

yum, sushi is good.

I would never eat anything I would put on a hook to fish with

Bread too? LOL We have caught a lot of Robins with bread. I do know what you mean though and did pick and choose. The eel wasn't quite to my liking. That stuff is true bottom feeder bait
