I'm very very excited to try this for turkey day!!

I would also add Rembrandt's in the running for a good burger in Philly!

As a kid I used to take a spoon and put peanut butter on one half and Smuckers strawberry jam on the other.....pure bliss!!

Dittos to olives, pickles (especially the brine...yum) and fluff!!

Wohoo!! I was raised in Grand Rapids, and I must say....it's a foodie's DREAM!!! Even though this is in East Grand Rapids, Wolfgang's has the BEST Breakfast ever. My friends and I used to skip class (sorry mom....and Ms. Widdis!) to go there for breakfast.

Charley's Crab is probably the best sit down seafood restaurant you'll find. Now, if you just want some fried whiting and fries, Fry Daddy's on Division is the place!!

Jamaican Dave's on Wealthy is one of the only Caribbean restaurants in West Michigan, and Dave is one of the friendliest people you'll meet!

I have dreams about Beltline Bar's Wet Burritos....when I come home from Philly for the holidays, my first stop is Beltline Bar!! Beware, as stated earlier, Beltline Bar is straight tex mex.

@ Sadiepix...I went to Western Michigan University (Go Broncos!!) in K'zoo.....the closest Mexican spot I know of is Big Burrito....good for a tostada after a drunken night, but that's about it!

Oh....and I would kill someone over Vitales lasagna and garlic rolls

And I would pay lots of money for some bar-b-que from Sandmans!!

I could go on and on......I LOVE my city's food!!

I'm from Michigan, and we have Culver's.....best custard shakes EVER!!! And White Castle is pretty big in the Detroit area, my friends and I used to drive clear across the state for some chicken rings and little burgers!!

In Philly, there's a Dunkin Donuts on every corner, something that came as a total surprise to me, cause we rock with Krispy Kreme in the midwest!!! DD has NOTHING on Krispy Kreme!

I made these on Saturday for my roommates birthday party and they were A HIT!!!! Everyone gathered around the oven to watch me pour the batter into the cones......and waited whiel they were baking. I have anold school double oven, and unfortuantely the bigger oven went bananas that day and the ones on that side needed to bake in the other oven while the other batch was cooling. I had to beat people off with a stick so that they wouldn't touch the done ones!!!!

I attempted to use real ice cream as the "frosting ice cream" and placed it in a piping bag.....didn't work, I had ice cream all over the place!!! We were having a "going back to your childhood/Back to School" party, so it defintely added to the nostalgic factor of it, seeing grown ups with ice cream running down their hands and faces was pretty great!!

Thanks for the great idea, I will defintelt be making them again!

No_Pam, where in Philly is there a Popeye's?!?! I moved here a couple years ago, and have yet to find the joy that is Popeye's in the city of brotherly love!!!

I remember that as a child Roy Rogers was one of the only fast food joints that were "good quality" (as if there is such a thing when it comes to true fast food joints). But, I recently made the same mistake and had some Roy Rogers fried chicken on the NJ turnpike!!! Yeah, that was a pretty traumatic experience!!
