What Was The Best Thing You Ate This Weekend?

I had a grilled tilapia topped with a cajun sauce and shrimp that was outstanding.

Does the New Bourbon from Maker's Mark Live Up to All the Hype?

I got a taste of the '46' last week from a distiller's rep and thought it was excellent. Maker's is my 2nd choice behind Woodford.

Barbecue Chicken with White Sauce

Didn't realize there were so many on here from the Huntsville/Decatur area.
Gibson's on the Parkway had curb service back in the '50's. Our family ate there often. I actually prefer David Gibson's to the others in Huntsville.

What time do you eat dinner ?

Normally between 6:30 and 7:00. I don't mind if it's later.

Poll: What Do You Call Cola Drinks?

As for carbonated drinks, we call them Soft Drink. I think there are areas in America that call them Soft Drinks too.
oracle at 8:31PM on 01/27/10

I refer to it by name, ie, Dr Pepper, Sunkist, Pepsi, etc.

Otherwise "soft drink".

Five Guys. Not so much.

I'm also sorry you had a bad experience.

5 Guys is absolutely my favorite mid priced burger. I love the fries, much better than anything at the fast food joints.

The ones I've eaten at are all in the south.

Do you go simple or complicated for your tailgate?

We always do a low country boil for one game and a catfish fry for another. We do soups, stews and chili for a game late in the season. Some of the best are when people bring whatever they feel like and we just have a smorgasbord.

A Southern Biscuit and Dinner Roll Taste-Off with Nora Ephron

We're fortunate to have enjoyed Sister's rolls years. Add a slice of beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin or a fried chicken nugget and you have quite a nice snack. The yeast rolls in the tin are really my favorites, but the individuals in the bags are excellent too.

'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

Things my wife doesn't care for. Maybe something with a sauce like steak au poivre or something with a little heat like pizza with some hot sausage.

Who Makes the Best Vanilla Ice Cream?

Blue Bell for me. Never cared for Breyer's.

Memphis recommendations?

July - Agree with you on the barbeque spaghetti at Interstate. If I ever go back, that is the only thing I would order.

From Talk

Memphis recommendations?

It seems to me that many of the famous "got to eat there" places come up short of expectations.

We were recently in Memphis for a wedding and went to Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ. Ordered the sampler platter to get a taste of everything. The pork ribs and BBQ spaghetti were the only items above mediocre.

Didn't have time to go, but heard that the burgers at Huey's are good.

What does a young foodie/recent grad need in his kitchen?

We have a Hamilton Beach combination toaster oven/convection/rotisserie that is very handy. The rotisserie does a great job on pork and beef tenderloins. Doesn't take up a great amount of counter space. About $100.
