You want to feel a little bit better about people?

Being a large federal nation we dont have a national dish unless you want to count apple pie. Instead we have regional dishes. In lmnos and my case it would be clam chowdah

I guarantee this is a franchise store, in which the owner is a genuine human being that takes care of their employees, so they pass it on. If it's real, good for them.

Taco Bell still does...things...to me.

I am unclear on what our regional dish might be. I'm guessing we probably have something, since there's a restaurant in Vancouver that's serving Portland food.

Other than the fact that we obsessively put kim chee in everyfuckingthing, I have no idea.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Maybe the tendency to put smoked salmon and cream cheese on or in everything?

Actually you know what? I believe it.

Richter for example: The Dunkin Donuts across the overpass with the drive thru...before the mic broke and you could barely understand them anymore. My sister and I used to go there all the time if she dropped me off at the train station for work. They were the shit.


I got a burned bagel from them last week. It hurt my feelings.


And Dunkin Donuts is the official food of Rhode Island.

The official dish of Maine is Bitterness and Coffee Brandy.

Florida sucks and has no regional dish.
Maybe key lime pie, cuban sandwiches and those crab claws you smack with tiny hammers.


I hate this place.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Mmmm. Cuban crab lime pie.

No. The regional dish for Boston is Antagonism and Binge Drinking.

This amuses me: http://www.portlandcraft.com/?page_id=95

Some of this shit is 100% made up because it just SOUNDS Portlandly. Rose whipped cream filling? UM NO. Also, we don't put beets OR basil on our burgers. Grits and sausage yes, grits and prawns no (although I would eat the shit out of some grits and prawns). Wings yes, chicken and waffles yes, pork and tots yes, fancy frites yes, veggie shepherds pie yes, trout not so much (you can get it at Podnah's though so I guess yes), clams maybe.

I had a decent Cuban in December. My brother, always on the hunt for the perfect Cuban, said he was disappointed with his, and vowed to take me to a different greasy gas station.

..Up here, they want $13 for a "Cuban" at the local Cuban restaurant. You and I both know, if it's not from some dank corner of a dirty gas station for 5 bucks, it's not right.

Also, apparently there was a Cuban-Off that happened last year in which Tampa curb-stomped Miami into pitiful pulp. You know, as it should be, because Miami is fucked up and puts bologna and salami on their sammiches.

The Cuban Sandwich is more of a local tradition than state cuisine. Tourists don't go looking for hot pressed Cubans. They go to that all you can eat lobster place on 192.

Lobsters. In Florida. Idiots.

...Fuck you, now I want a Cuban.  I knew I should have brought back Publix Cuban bread.

The best ones you get in Orlando come off a truck or out of some crappy store front with a rusty framed door and they don't speak english.

And hate you for being white in their establishment.
So yummy.

[Suu]

If you can't read the menu, you know you're in the right place.

Not like the ones my brother and I got last year at a place he SWORE by, that was actually a Chinese restaurant suddenly, and they put lettuce and tomato on them. I thought he was going to flip the table.
