This one is an absolute no brainer. I am a software programmer and fortunate enough to work for a company that allows me to work from home, I try my best to make a point of living in a different city every year, I pack light and go. I've gone from southern cali, mid-west to the east coast and NOTHING compares to the mexican food in San Diego! Travel just 60 miles up the coast to Los Angeles and the difference is night and day, doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same category. San Diego is on the border of Mexico, and the mexican food gets exponentially worse the farther you get from it. Ask anyone who has actually tried mexican food in mulitple cities, I will guarantee the same response, San Diego hands down. Anyone who calls them nachos instead of carne asada chips, or taquitos instead of rolled tacos can automatically be discredited in this discussion. Those of you who have lived in San Diego will know what I mean.

the coupon expired in January...darnit.

Are the posters available for purchase yet? I want to hang these up in my room and have them seep into my dreams.

I love hot dogs, and the BEST hot dogs are found in North Carolina. There are so many places with amazing hot dogs, and when you order "all the way" here in NC, it always comes with slaw, chili, onions, and mustard, served on a lightly buttered and toasted bun. My boyfriend and many others I know will only eat "pink hotdogs", which many of the places serve, but I like any hot dog.

I just found found Klondike Choco Tacos at the grocery store. 99cents...of course I snagged one.

If you haven't guessed...I'm way too lazy to make them myself...very cool recipe though!

I like both Pie n'Burger and Apple Pan. Reviewer doesn't mention the pies at Pie n'Burger and it's just as well as they don't really compete with Apple Pan, even though the latter has only two varieties (apple and pecan).

As for the burgers themselves, it's a tough choice but I would give Apple Pan the edge again for a better built burger and more flavor. I don't understand the member who says they're 'sweet', an adjective that would never cross my mind when describing AP's burgers. I know that people who drink a lot of alcohol often find that most food tastes 'sweet' to them. I don't mean that as any kind of insult to the member, not saying he's an alkie or anything! Just that palates differ immensely according to culinary habits. I doubt *most* burger tasters would find AP burgers 'sweet.'

The comparison between Pn'B and In'O is apt, they remind me of one another a lot. I spend a lot more time in Pasadena than W LA but I consider Apple Pan more of a 'special' taste experience. Anyway they're both great!

Wow-my fav combo-but toooo much work! thanx for the idea.

I grew up in Columbus and my family has been there decades and decades. I had never even heard of this place until I saw it on Man v. Food.

You know I go to Cbus all the time and I have been by there and wanted to try it but I heard they only cook it to medium-well and to me that is just overly cooking it and going to take the flavor away from the patty as well as moisture. Anybdoy tried it?

OMG both burgers look so good, I am sitting here just drooling. lol

They stopped in this place on Man vs Food. The Thurmanator looked soooo good... TIWYF has a picture, http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/post/80297011/the-thurmanator-two-3-4-pound-beef-patties-under

I miss Columbus!!! The Jaeger burger... and those soft pretzel bits. Amazing.

Aha! This is the place with the Thurmanator...it's not on the menu I don't think.
