Across the Nation (Best of List) - Eating The Road

I want that cinnamon roll!  Did you eat the entire thing at one sitting?
The coating on the CFS looks great, but I'd want more gravy.

Haha....good lord no! It's 3lbs and just gigantic. I shared it with a couple others and still didn't finish it.  Here, this will give you a better idea of how big they are:

...and rest assured I did get more gravy on the side

sorry. I only look here.

Yeah...for each place I do a full write-up on my blog:

I don't agree with all of your choices but I love your report and really appreciate the effort.

It's okay...I don't agree with all my choices either but I'm glad you like the report.

I had a big ol' Texan-sized breakfast at Chacho's & Chalucci's in San Antonio, Texas:

Had some fish & chips at Red Lion Pub in Houston, Texas:

I had a decent burger from Lankford Grocery & Market, in Houston, Texas:

It was 6AM and I was in the middle of nowhere...sue me , Cracker Barrel in Beaumont, Texas.
http://eatingtheroad.word.../12/16/cracker-barrel/

Those look better than the biscuits I have had at Cracker Barrel.  The ones I have had have always been pretty flat and kind of an off white color.  Those look pretty good.  I've never been a big fan of their gravy though.

Yep...the gravy was no good. It helped when I added some salt and a lot of pepper but I'll be darned if those biscuits weren't amazing....I know it's a chain but they were really good!

Had my first Po' Boy at Domilise's Sandwich Shop & Bar in New Orleans, Louisiana:

If I didn't know better I would be sure they laced them with some addicting drug they are so good. Their gravy is really disappointing as well and I had to do the same thing and add a ton of pepper but I only ever got it to adequate and not good so I just ate the biscuits themselves.

I grabbed some delicious ice cream at The Creole Creamery in New Orleans, Louisiana:

I had some terrific BBQ at The Joint in New Orleans, Louisiana:

Nice BBQ Pork & slaw, Mac and cheese and peanutbutter pie......Why go home ????..............Fish, burger, and the Po Boy also look like fun meals. Looks like you found true Roadfood from the heart on your travels in the south. Thanks for the great report and pictures, you always do a great job.................Thanks Billyb

 It appears ETR based on "their website" yes I'm using the word "Their" as plural is just a pseudonym for a series of bloggers and is not "one person".

wj - Yeah, I'm trying to figure it out myself. 

ETR went from being possibly the most prolific Roadfood poster ever to nothing overnight.  Seems pretty strange.  There may be a inappropriate posting/banning involved, but that seems out of character based on the style of ETR's postings.

It might have someting to do with that new blog ETR is using.  ETR's Roadfood posts stopped on the same day that the switch was made to the other site.  I won't link, I don't care for traffic-mongers (I changed that from a different word) trying to suck hits from established websites.  Poor blogging etiquette.

there was this Hoffman/ETR dialogue too

Maybe he is on vacation.

You mean someone finally took Hoffman's snark seriously?

Yeah, that's what I thought too. After all thse years,
someone finally took MH to heart.

And why wouldn'tHoffman be taken to heart? Everything he says is Gospel. By the way, I thank whoever it was for snark, but that's just wrong. Snark is a theorem prover for multi-sorted first-order logic intended for applications in artificial intelligence and software engineering.

I thought snark was a Lewis Carroll character?

Maybe he is on vacation.

Probably not. Since his/her/their last post there has been activity on his/her/their new website. All these postings seem to be a dumping of old blog entries. I got the feeling ETR was mining Roadfood.com in constantly reviving several year old threads and starting new threads for blog ideas. I'd feel more comfortable about this if I knew the real person behind this, if there is such a person.

Davydd,
I agree with you.

We were being used for his/her own reasons.

I never liked that his posts always had links that lead to his own board.  He might have been collecting money with each click.

Then he had the nerve to ask for donations so he could continue to travel and eat!  That's the one that turned me completely off to anything he posted.

Kind of a stomping ground to post and pull information for their own board.  

This is his new board:

http://topcultured.com/

Yep, we were used.

Several of us had suspicions from day 1 and this was discussed off the board. I didn't want to mention anything on the forum because if I did, everyone would have come to their (again I think ETR is more than one person) defense since the "calling out" would have come from...well... me....and of course everything I say is always open to attack and scrutiny..

I missed that one.  There's gall, and then there is GALL.

BTW - That NOLA Meet & Eat sounds pretty awesome.  Hint, hint.

Eating all this food can become pricey and we're just lonely bloggers (not getting paid for this).

If you like what you read why not buy us a meal or two!
 
Hey WJ, I hope you don't mind, I just pledged 20 bucks in your name.
 
 
 

I also spoke to some behind the scenes about ETR.  Something just wasn't right.

Even their logo bugged me as it's a ripoff of Roadfood's.

Dale,  did you like that he/she was using your writings and observations on their site?  Did you get paid for your travels and food bills?

Here's the link:

You should get paid for your work when it's specifically benefiting one person.

Wow! I didn't know I personally knew a food superstar!

WJ, Looks like I have been duped. GEZZZZZZZZZZZ with all ETR's reviews no one else had to bother, he was covering the whole country. Now what the heck are we going to do. I was wondering how the heck he covers so much ground....................Billyb
