That looks like the first location in an all-Roadfood sequel to 'The Da Vinci Code.'  Of course Dale will be the monk flagellating himself for eating regionally inappropriate food.
You are killing me!  WHERE do you come up with this stuff?!?!?

Winner!  Winner!  Big steak dinner!!! 

I thought that this one would get solved pretty quickly, but I was afraid to say anything after the Ann Sather one went so long.  But, maybe that one only took so long because I precluded buffetbuster from playing!

I'll have to dig through my photo archives to see what else I have.  In the meantime, if anyone else wants to toss one out there, have at it!

Well done!  I thought one of the Milwaukee contingent would jump in and get it right away.  Have you been there before?

You are most likely thinking of the Dillard House, but that isn't it.  Nice try, though.

That looks right to me, but I will wait for buffetbuster's confirmation.  I have one ready to go....locked and loaded, so to speak.

buffetbuster called me to confirm (he was unable to post) that TJ's pick of Camp 18 was correct!  Good job.

I think this next photo will be one of the quickest to be guessed correctly, but I think it is a cool photo anyway.

This one took only 20 minutes.  Nice work.  Is this a place you have visited or was the Foxon Park just too much of a clue to narrow things down to New Haven?

Let me see if I can scare one or two more up...

I rarely travel, as you know - and no, I have never been to LL.  What I know is from what I read here and on a few other select websites.  The wall tiles, the bread toaster, and the Foxon Park were what put it together for me.  And....those unique broilers, albeit I only suspected those were the broilers in question, as I could not really make it out in the pic

Cool.  Goes to show you - you don't actually have to visit a place to sleuth out these things.  Again, I suspected that it would be figured out quickly enough....but, 20 minutes exceeded my expectations.

Have a crack at this one, folks...

TJ, I suspect you are right (the desserts look especially familiar), but we will wait to hear from TTM before putting another one up.

TJ, Greymo and AHI MPLS are doing an amazing job of sleuthing these so out quickly!

Sorry...I almost forgot about this thread.  TJ is, of course, correct.  He sent me an IM last night and told me that he Googled "Good for Nuttin' Brownie" and one of the results was Hoover's.  That is some good sleuthing right there.  Had me thinking that maybe these are TOO easy????

I need to dig out a new photo.  I will see what I can come up with today.

Maybe this one will prove to be a little more difficult. 

There is one excellent clue on there, but that is about it......

Oooohhhh....I think I actually know that one.  Would I be mistaken to think that the topic of this dish came up in conversation this past weekend?

Then I am confident that I can name the dish.  I am pretty sure that I know the location, too...but, I will see if others want to post a guess first.

Well, no clues in the pic - heck, I don't even know what I'd call this dish

I found the answer via a method that isn't within the spirt of this thread, so I will recuse myself

My first thought was 'chicken and rice" and that wasn't right

I immediately recognized the West Indies salad and eventually came to the conclusion that it had to be Wintzell's - but, you got me on the fries and dipping sauce.

Dawn is right, it is The Porthole.  I figured the ultimate clue would be the Down East sign in the background.  Congrats again!

If only I had better photoshop skills!



I told you this was an easy one, but I just like the picture.  As a matter of fact, it is easily in my Top 10 photos taken at Roadfood establishments!
