mbrookes-
I saw several customers grab bags of chips, open them up and cover the chips with the excellent Abe's bbq sauce. Next time, I am going to try it myself!

I believe that "good" barbeque is what you grew up with. I grew up in Clarksdale eating Abe's, so to me that is the best. Next time, ask for barbeque potato chips. They split open a bag of Lay's and pour on a little barbeque sauce, You won't believe how good that is.

Blue and White it is. Yes, barbecue at Abe's. Blue&White for dessert on the way back. The barbecue was pretty good, but we all commented on how different it is from Memphis style barbecue.

Looks like the Blue & White in Tunica, MS. Did you go to Abe's for barbeque?

Coconut cream front - chocolate cream back left and pecan. A hint - we went further south for barbecue prior to this. The same name used for Manhattan could apply here.

That's actually not true. It is a well-known fact that after they were rescued from the island, MaryAnn set up a chain of southern cooking restaurants. She would sell trinkets in the lobby of the restaurant while people were waiting for a table. They were going to make a spin-off series, where MaryAnn would have all of these wacky adventures - but at a different location each week - people complaining about whether "real" maple syrup was being served with their pancakes, others arguing whether or not the portion sizes have gotten smaller over time, and they even had one episode where someone came in to apply for a job - and, get this, they were gay! Ha! Hilarity ensues. Viewers, of course, would never be able to tell the difference, because all of the locations were the same. They would just start each episode with one of those cartoon-y maps.

Fortunately, Sherwood Schwartz came to his senses and realized that no one could relate to that kind of far-fetched tale.

And here I thought Mary Ann was the more Roadfood kind of girl.

Oooohhh...I know! I kept thinking Ginger was watching me. Very distracting, but in a good way.

You are definitely in the right part of the country, but wrong state.

Hey Cliff, is that one of the clam shacks on Boston's North Shore? Woodman's of Essex, perhaps?

So which Roadfood restaurant gets the seal of approval from the Skipper, his little buddy and Ginger?

Of course, I was always a Mary Ann man myself.

I don't think it's going very far out onto a limb to declare that this was NOT your sandwich!
Crazy Nut n' dill pickle frowner.

Normally you would be correct, but this time I put on my big boy pants and ate the pickles. The hot pickles were excellent!

Yes, ma'am!!!!! Nicely done, Dawn! Those seasoned pans really do make a wicked good crust on those Sicilian slices.

Re:Name that Roadfood Restaurant!! (AHI MPLS)

Hmmm, Very nicely seasoned PIZZA pans?
I'm thinking perhaps the Spumoni Gardens?
The floor tiles match, & Di faro's rectangle pans are much too shiny.

Re:Name that Roadfood Restaurant!! (billyboy)

Alright Dawn, in what RF establishment can these be found?
