    Directions to a good place to eat. 😆

    Nice to see you around again Gip.

    I don't need directions.  I have one of the best ethnic restaurants in NE Ohio just a couple of blocks away.  (Al's Corner Restaurant....look it up).   I have also have what....in some people's opinion some of the best fried chicken anywhere within walking distance.  (look up Barberton Fried Chicken).

    Plus, I could walk to Parasson's. Not the best Pizza around...but decent.   And I have Mexican, Chinese,  Greek,  traditional American...plus many more....all withing walking distance or about a mile radius.

    But....at how many can I get lunch for $5.00?

    I actually saw Al's in one of our earlier foodie threads, my idea of good reasonably priced food!

    For the very occasional McDonald's trips I like fish sandwiches and fries. A lunch for $5 can be a challenge, maybe a BOGO deal?

    I am well aware of it.   The thing is....though the food is excellent.....it is fairly heavy.   Almost too heavy for lunch which is why I don't go there as often as I would if they served the same food for dinner.

    Out today's light lunch right after the Young & the Restless is soup and sandwiches, ham off the bone with cheese,  lettuce mustard, mayonnaise on light Italian bread. 😁

    Few brat fans in here so sharing a lunch I had last week in a German pub in London. 

    Overly genrous in portion size, not even Jenna Jameson wants this much sausage

    When I was stationed in Germany many moons ago, there was a little place right outside the main gate I used to buy a charbroiled Bratwurst, a little hard roll of bread and pomme frits (french fries).  Really good.

    Eh on Parasson's... Angie's isn't bad, but not exactly within (easy) walking distance for you in B'town... 

    So what is your Barberton Chicken of choice Gip? I'm a Hopocan Gardens guy myself. 

    Yes, Angies is much better really than Parasson's.  As for which Barberton Chicken house is better...... I have only been around here for 66 years....and really...they are all the same.  But I probably like the Hopocan facility the best. 

    Now....when are you coming up and buying me lunch?  We can go to Al's or Angie's or the White House...or Hopocan.

    Stop distracting me from the fact that you still haven't made the Italian beef sandwiches! 

    There's a place down in Canton that makes them, supposed to be top-notch according to the Canton Repository. 

    I know I've been on the wife about it but she's still on this casserole kick (but some great meals and leftovers, ummmmm).

    I will take pictures when we make it.....and make sure Gipper buys first!

    Looking forward to the pics! I might have to try my hand at it too...

    Chicago style done right is not an easy recipe like a traditional Philly Steak but worth it.....I haven't had one in years.

  • Gumbo's in downtown Georgetown, Tx. with good old fashioned Cajun food starting with Cold Jumbo Shrimp C-ocktail as an appetizer. Eaten with Shiner Bock and make the wife drive me home.

    Retirement I highly recommend it, more time to watch sports, waste time on sports boards......and cook up good gameday foods!

  • Of all the threads in this forum, this might be the one which draws the biggest separation between you and I, guys... Not only for the vocabulary (I don't travel too much, thus I am not proficient on food vocabulary) but for the tastes and choices. 

    I've been eating fast food quite a lot when hanging out with friends, but I'd say that most of us wish to earn just enough money to pay a restaurant's bill and never have to step back into any McDonald's.

    The Desert Inn is excellent, Middle Eastern cuisine.

    Bender's in downtown is as good fine dining as you can find anywhere.

    Canton brewing company makes pretty good beer and has excellent food.

    The Bistro at Gervasi Vineyards is world class.

    Casual but excellent Greek food at Papa gyro.

    Table 6 upscale-casual top notch.

    The Brown Derby is an Ohio tradition owned by Gus Gurves' grandson Parris.

    Classic and popular seafood restaurant there since the Earth cooled Tim Tavern.

    Mission BBQ is one of the best anywhere.

    Get out your wallet Gipper.

    I didn't include any chains except Mission BBQ but Texas Roadhouse is not bad.

  • No one's forcing you to eat McDonalds, so if you don't like it, don't eat it.  Problems solved.  Lot's of spanish food is Shmucking gross.
