08Dad,

Best Walleye - Minnesota
Best steakhouse - Sparks on 46th in Manhattan. Peter Luger's in Brooklyn is a close second.

On the best lobster....its not NEW ENGLAND lobster! It's MAINE lobster that's the best!
And, best lobster roll is at Red's Eats in Wiscasset...right on Route 1.

I think you are probably talking about Kowloon restaurant on route 1 in Saugus Ma. for the Chinese. Very good........probably why you can't find one guy from Saugus that graduated in 1975 that is under 265 lbs.

Lived and worked on the least coast for several years and although Nathan's Famous is as good as it get's out there....it pales in comparison to dozen's of joints in Chicago. Portillo's for instance makes Nathan's look like a MCDonald's next to Ruth's Chris!
There is nothing like a Chicago style hot dog.
--------------------
I recall mailing Chicago West Pizza to East Coast. Top three pies in my book.
Trouble with getting a Chicago Dog, (at the Bear's Den across the street from Wrigley)
is it:
a) If by car, takes 3 hours to get in to downtown, and then three hours to get out.
b) If by plane, try three days!
Ruth Chris's is ok.
McDonald's, however...remains best of breed (say JC)
Wish they all could be Calif girls!

Keep in mind that slowing down does not mean slow--just means a bit less quick than before

jimwis,
KOWLOON'S... That's it! Thanks!
BBDad, Obviously you have never tasted Iowa sweetcorn! We usually feed visitors from New Jersey the field corn.

Iowa Sweetcorn was plowed by Ray Kinsella to build a baseball field 17 years ago. They wouldn't ever allow that to happen in a Jersey cornfield!

Maryland is a great state, but don't start comparing it to Iowa when it comes to farming. Stick to your crab cakes! (They are good, must admit)
Anyone who has ever had to drive the "scenic" ride through Iowa would understand the farm comments. For those who haven't... If you like to view field after field of corn and beans for hundreds of miles... come on over!

Sandy soil of Jersey grows the best (silver queen )corn and best tomatoes. May not grow the most, but its the best.
Don't know about Maryland, but the Virginia sweet corn BEATS Iowa sweet corn (that I've had) any day. And the fields and fields of corn in Iowa are field corn (cattle corn) and the beans are soybeans (other cattle feed). I have relatives in Iowa and we had corn, corn, and more corn while there, and I don't know what type - my Uncle would have said that's it's sweet corn (with implications of you're stupid for asking). We have been eating a variety that is called "Frosty" this summer from the local farm stand and it was the BEST sweet corn that I have ever had. It is much better than Silver Queen.
Now for Hot Dog rolls - don't know about that New England stuff, but we are hooked on Martin's Potato Rolls and it HAS to be Martin's. They also make them for hamburgers and for dinner rolls and they make Potato Bread. I personally chewed someone out at work because they brought in dogs and "Potato Rolls" that were some other brand. People jumped on me because they were like "come on he brought them in as a gift". Well, several months later the same guy told me, "Man, you were right. Those Martin's Potato Rolls are the only ones I'll buy from now on." So - It's Martin's Potato Rolls in my book.

The only thing Virginia corn fields are good for is 1) mediocre corn and because of that 2) huge mazes cut in the cornfields so that kids can have a great time in the fall trying to emerge from field of, again, mediocre corn.
I don't like Virginia because it's a fat state to drive through!

Guess we'll just have to keep that Iowa sweetcorn a secret!
Don't know about other areas, but the sweetcorn peak season here is only about 3 weeks. Any other time the corn is fairly average. But if you're here at the right time, you'll be sold forever!
Yes, those are soy beans and field corn you see everywhere. The "Field of Dreams" field was not cut out of sweetcorn but field corn! Sweetcorn, doesn't get as tall!
Iowa used to be called the "Tall Corn State". That made sense! Then the politicians came up with the logo "State of Minds". That did not make any sense!

PG,
If sweetcorn was and is better than tall corn as you contend, then why wasn't Iowa "The Sweet Corn State" instead of the "Tall Corn State?"
Sounds like state government bailed out on your corn years ago
New Jersey remains "The Garden State!"
I rest my case...

Huge mazes are cut out of Field Corn! Why waste the sweet corn on a maze? Also the mazes that I have seen are run in the Fall of the year. I think that the farmers might just use the corn from the rows that make the maze paths (maybe that is sold to dem Yan****).
As far as the right time in Iowa, I don't know if I was there during those 3 weeks or not - only remember my Uncle raving about how good the corn was and my cousins chiming in too.
Also, Virginia is a wonderful state that you could have hills, mountains, ocean, sandy soil, rocky soil, spring, summer, fall, and winter, snow and rain, heat, autumn leaves. Yes, some things are better in other states (autumn leaves much better in New England), but only VA and surrounding states (oh yeah, maybe the left coast too) have the variety spread out so evenly. Many people from other states live here and comment on how nice it is here; of course many of these people come here for jobs and that always makes a place nicer than no job.

JT,
You are now uninvited from New Jersey forever.
I'm telling on you to the State Police!
You are no longer allowed to watch the Sopranos on HBO either!
Garden State your a**? I've heard about your a**. In New Jersey, we call your a** a total eclipse!!!

Nice reply--SDBB "warned" me about you.
My heart is totally broken. No longer welcome in NJ? Horrors of horrors.
Never watch the Sopranos--too busy watching Dukes of Hazzard re-runs.
By the way, nice *** crack. Total eclipse. Funny.
OK, Tim Robertson, HokieOne, CVSting--help a fellow southerner out here.

Why isn't anyone bickering over having the best baloney?!?!?!
Just in case anyone travels through my wonderful state, you might want to try Hot Browns at Ramsey's here in Lexington. The Italian at Papa Leone's in Berea or Joe Bologna (no relation to the meat previously mentioned) here in Lexington is worth a stop too! Yummy!!

Bologna, huh? Now we know what they did with Secretariat!!!
People have argued my choices about…
Best Steak House, Sweet Corn, Italian, Chinese, Lobster,etc.
Since nobody disagrees… Should we assume the best Fried Baloney Sandwiches really do come from a Shell Gas Station in Pudacah?

Can't beat Jersey tomatoes! As far as corn, I never say so many cornfields in my whole life (in Iowa) while on our way to Omaha. Scary almost, corn field after corn field after corn field.
Speaking of which, best steaks out there in Omaha(must be those Iowa corn fed cows) and as far as BBQ, Famous Dave's downtown, THE BEST!

I like Famous Dave’s too, but it’s a chain. Then again so are the Shell Gas stations!
TPM, the corn fields are actually kind of neat in August when the corn is high! Of course, after hundreds of miles of looking at corn fields it takes a little away from the neatness of it all. Boredom then sets in!
We once lived in a house that had corn growing on every side. Bad landscape but very good Pheasant hunting! Speaking of another great American delicacy!
Also, because of all the **** corn, it has been predicted that the next world record "Buck" will come from the state of Iowa! There are so many deer that some places have used snipers to lower the population. Warning... If you ever drive through Iowa, you've got a real good chance of hitting a deer! I mean real good chance!
This thread about East Coast Hot Dog Buns has been a lot of fun. I'm learning a lot about the country reading all this. I might actually share another recipe at some point. Needs to be a Pork recipe! By the way, I think Iowa is the number 1 Pig State! Anyway, it used to hold that title!

iitg,
I see you are into flushing!
yes, Famous Dave's is a chain but it was great food and lots for the price! And the BEST CORNbread! JMO, but Omaha has GREAT BEER!
Jerry,
I am sure you are aware one has to come up 29 to get to Omaha and I thought I saw lots of cornfields BEFORE I got to Iowa! We even stopped and took pictures in the cornfield! The host organization gave a luncheon for us in a park somewhere on the Missouri River,in Iowa, we had to drive through a maze of cornfields to get to the park, we got lost, mapquest doesn't map out cornfields! 
Heading north on 29,in Iowa, one gets off an exit (more cornfields) to get to the city. I am telling husband that Rosenblatt is just a few miles down the road he is saying, yeah sure in the middle of the cornfields? We go over a $1 toll bridge and there is the city in front of us, like OZ, coming out of nowhere! A whole entire city in the middle of CORNFIELDS! For us, coming from a place where vacant land is now extinct, we found it quite ODD! And love those casinos just off (cornfield) highway in Iowa! Here I am thinking Hicksville, USA!
Too bad it gets too cold up there for me!
We stopped in Paducah for a few hours and ate at a McDonld's, next time we'll hit that Shell station!
BTW, had to have one of those fried dough things at the stadium, the best!

I'll second that Famous Dave's vote - they have it at the CWS - my son and I went back for seconds!!!!
As for beer - none of that in the CWS seats - but if you are thirsty in Omaha, Upstream Brewpub in downtown Omaha - great brewpub and good food too...

If you ever go to omaha, go to Famous Dave's downtown (near Upstream), much better than at the stadium!
