Chowdown Countdown: 80-61
Warning: This Post could make you drool all over!
Last time, I showed you the best chowdown places in the US from #101- #81. Now, the countdown continutes from #80-#61, part 2 of the 5 parts of the program.
- #80-The Brick Pit-Mobile,AL:This place might have the BBQ, but did you know how the pit they are cooked in? Try the same size of a bank vault! Yep, A bank vault! That’s pretty big to me!
- #79-The Cherry Cricket-Denver,CO: In this place, you can customize your burger with any of the many toppings you want. Their signature burger has cream cheese and jalpeno peppers! If you have a hard time deciding what to get, just use the dartboard of toppings and let that decide for you. I wonder if the toppings include bananas.
- #78-Kopp’s Frozen Custard-Greenfield, WI- This place has alot of flavors of custard, so much so that there’s a special of a certain flavor everyday, kinda like a weather forecast. Remember, don’t call it ice cream because the difference is that a custard has egg yolks in it. However, I wonder if it tastes like ice cream. All of the custards will give you a 3 alarm sugar rush!
- #77-Lynn’s Paradise Cafe-Louisville,KY- Sometimes it’s hard having the same ol’ thing for breakfast, but not in this place! It ofters a wide varity of dishes, including the famous Puapua French Toast. The Puapua is a fruit native to North America, looks like a kiwi but tastes like a banana. It also has a ball, given to customers that will make their own ice cream! This place was given a 5 out of 5 smileys on the Happy Scale, Measurement for fun.
- #76-S.F Creamery Co.-Walnut Creek,CA: This place has the largest sundae you’ll ever see! 8 scoops of ice cream, 8 toppings, 8 servings of whipped cream, 3 bananas, and a cherry on top! This big sundae was designed for friends to eat it together. But, if you dare to finish the sundae solo, you will eat there for free for a year! Only 6 people had finished so far. Oh yeah, the big sundae s called “The Kitchen Sink”.
- #75- The Bellagio Buffet-Las Vegas, NV: iheartbadz, a close blogger of mine, has been there on her US vacation she posted last summer. In this buffet, you can travel the world without leaving home. They alot of international foods, like Italian, Japanese, and Chinese. I would to come there because I like both traveling and cooking.
- #74-Original New York System-Providence, RI- Would you believe that this place is in Rhode Island and not New York? Well, here, they make wieners, not hot dogs, with mustard and a hamburger based sauce. What makes it unique is the way they are served. Holding all the wieners on one arm like a balancing act. This is why this was given a 3 out of 5 smileys on the happy scale.
- #73-Pepe’s vs. Sally’s-New Haven, CT: This is the first of serveal chowdown showdowns. It’s a contest of who has the best pizza. They had been competing with each since the 1910’s.But, why chose? They are the same. In this spot on the list, we are declaring a pizza pie tie between these 2 pizza joints!
- #72-GSC Ballpark-Sauget, IL: The latest burger creation int this place is actually NOT a Restraunt! It’s at the ball game. The burger creation is a patty, bacon, and chedder cheese, on a, would you believe, a Krispy Kreme glazed donut? I wonder how that would taste?
- #71-The Grill House-Allegan,MI: Here, YOU can grill your own steaks with so many kinds to chose from. Sure, you can do it at home, but this is for the ulimate cooking experinnce!
- #70-El Guero Canelo-Tucson,AZ: What happens when the hot dog goes Mexican? It becomes a bacon wrapped hot dog with many Mexican toppings, like beans. Well, this place serves them! It was started as a cart in 1993 and today it had expanded.
- #69-The Cozy Inn-Salina,KS-This place orders up a mini burger that’s so good, you may want more.They call them “Sliders”. They are always cooked with lots of onions and this is also very strict. Substitutions are a no-no, there’s only 1 way to eat a Slider.Pickle,Mustard, and Ketcup. And, don’t bother adding cheese to it. That’s forbiden too! How can it be tasty with out cheese?!
- #68-Yoder’s Restaurant-Sarasota,FL: Originally a place with Amish cuisine, they also have the best pies! They always make them from scratch with few ingredients. But, flavors are endless. Any kind of pie you could imagine!
- #67-Iguana’s-San Jose,CA: Run for Cover and napkins!! This place offers a 5 lb. 18 in. burrito! They call it “Burritozilla”! *Screams* Ok, so it’s not that scary, but it is large. It had been given a 5 out of 5 on the Scale Tippers Club, measurement for large food size comparsion with normal ones.
- #66-Talkeetna Roadhouse- Talkeetna,AK-This place offers breakfast dishes since the 1910’s, which is why it’s another chowdown landmark. Their most famous dish is called “Rudy in a Parka”. The sausage matches the Alaskan wilderness, Reindeer! Stuffed with cheeses, wrapped over and baked.
- #65-Camp Washington Chili- Cincinnati,OH- This place has the pasta chili combo. It’s Spagettii with chili and melted cheese. They serve up 3 different ways, adding more toppings everytime the rank goes higher. Mmmm….might be something to try, maybe?
- #64-Round Rock Donuts-Round Rock,TX: This place has the biggest dounts you’ve ever seen. So big,it requires a 5 gallon bucket to shape them into the dough, weighing up to 2 lb. It was given a 2 of out 5 on the Scale Tippers!
- #63-Chap’s-Baltimore, MD: This BBQ place has a mouth watering dish, the pit beef sandwich. Piled high with lots of onions and the place’s own “Tiger Sauce”. Pretty good, huh?
- #62-Goodson’s Cafe-Tomball,TX- This place is very well known for their chicken fried steak. It’s considered diner food, steak that’s floured and deep friend like chicken. The best thing to put on it is a cream based gravy. I wonder if it tastes like fried chicken.
- #61-Dinosaur BBQ-Syracuse,NY-This is the only chowdown spot that I had been there. It was, I think about 4 years ago with my father and step-mother. It’s unlikely to be founded with notice, a biker-joint! It has great BBQ, but their ribs are better! At home, my father uses alot of the place’s line of BBQ sauce on meat. I don’t remember what I had eaten there, but it’s good!
Well, that’s all for now! Next Week, the countdown continutes from #60-#41. Until then, see ya!
