@HabesBabe: This place has crazy portions, for the cheese you get bread, veggies and apple dippers, and then for the 2nd course you get a salad (I had strawberry almond) and then the main course is a platter of meats you cook almost in a broth (steak, chicken, pork, shrimp, raviolli and tons of veggies) and then desert is any chocolate you can think of plus tons of dippers (fruit, cheese cake, brownies, marshmallows) You get SOOO full...its called The Melting Pot! yumm

@MrsBrewer: Thank you, thank you. Come visit sometime--you might not remember much after, but you'll have a great time! Margaritas and tex-mex, you just can't go wrong.
-
@MrsBrewer: We used to go to the Melting Pot back home all the time! I love that place! We have a vintage, 1970s Swedish fondue pot that I scored a couple months ago here in the UK, so we do it at home now.
-
@zippylef: I've never made it at home yet! Is it easy??
-
I used to live in San Diego so those pictures of the carne asada have me drooling and sad. It is so hard to find good Baja Mexican food!!
Now I live in Philadelphia and we are known for our cheesesteaks, roast pork sandwiches and pretzels.
I think I'd trade a cheesesteak for a carne asada burrito any day of the week!!

I'm in AZ, and we just have really good Mexican food in general. I don't think I could live anywhere outside of the southwest, I'd miss my real Mexican food if I did. FI has traveled a lot (he used to drive cross country for work) and I've heard that not everywhere has good Mexican. And his Aunt came out here from Indiana and thought that our salsa and nacho cheese was too spicy. That scares me. LOL I need spice in my life!
Of course, I'd give anything to have fresh seafood too! Too bad we don't have that here
-
@JustlikeHeaven: haha, i wish, we'd all be so skinny! we just don't have any famous foods from my city, i suppose i could say things from boston, but that's an hour away, so i feel like it's cheating to say i'm from there! my city is famous for the invention of the birth control pill & the yellow smiley face, so i went with those, 'cause i'm kinda proud of those ones =)
-
@chopsuey119: YES! Come visit next summer!
-
@ree723: i live in chicago and that is what's for dinner tonight
-
@MrsBrewer: Um.. it's a little trial and error at first but once you know how to do it, it's pretty easy!
-
@HeatherlovesKenny: Mmm, Dick's! I prefer Red Mill Burger, but Dick's is an icon.
In Utah, I think of green jello with carrots and funeral potatoes as staples here (but it's not eating out food, it's potluck food). Cake bites are a big thing here as is BBQ chicken pizza and BBQ pork burritos.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Jello and carrots...together?
-
Y'all are making me hungry! Carne Asade fries look amazing.
I'm in the Bay Area so I'm claiming the sourdough bread and, of course, ghiradelli chocolate. Love the little squares!
-
Texas doesn't specialize in any one thing I don't think, but we serve super duper large portions of everything.
Braum's originated in OK I believe, and while it's a chain restuarant, the fact that it started in lil OK is pretty awesome. Plus, their ice cream is soooo good!
-
Probably grouper, grouper sandwiches.
-
@zippylef: I agree
We live in Columbia. Close enough, lol!
-
@MrsBrewer: I have never been full after leaving the Melting Pot! But the last time I was there was 5+ years ago... maybe I should make a trip back
-
@JustlikeHeaven: be still my heart ... I miss home!!! *daydreams of carne asada!*
