You two have obviously never been to El Mezcal in Wausau, Wisconsin.
Nice. When I was in school Neil Barnes was your guy's hammer. He embarrassed our guy. Fortunately he wrestled up one class, otherwise it woulda been me.
whale’s vagina?
Two more words: cost prohibitive. Got as far as LA during a recent road trip. Regret not spending one more day on the road to check it out. It sounds like a dream down there. Unfortunately if you aren't an international drug smuggler or a movie star, I hear it's a struggle getting by.
I hope he’s still doing well - he had that brush with leukemia back 18-20 years. I’m unfortunately from the earlier years with Dave Gable’s class, but not a wrestler.
Fair. But missing a 9 on a 99.9 doesn't equate to (spectrum), like a kid trying to injure multiple competitors. Spin it any way you want. You still can't change the fact that Desanto deliberately tried to injure another competitor (multiple X) Kid is Scum! It really doesn't matter what I think but I do believe TnT are as good as it gets as far as wrestling coaches and really helped Desanto. That being said I will always root for whoever Desanto is wrestling.
Best hot dog, I ever had, east of the Mississippi is Heid's Hot Dogs in Liverpool, NY. Been around since 1917.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you ever decide to check it out. They do NYC, Detroit, and their own “Tulsa” style; by the slice or a whole pie. I’ve only been to the downtown one but both times I’ve gone it’s been amazing. Get some gelato too.
Wig and Pen - excellent thin crust pizza in Iowa City, comparable to some of the better pizza joints in south bay area (CA). Also, though I haven't had it in eons, walleye is quite good in midwest.
Have you tried the Maccheroni pizza there? I didn't think I would like it, but it's one of my favorite pizzas I've ever had.
Have to agree Chief. I have an uncle in Tucson that we (whole family of 5) visited in 2021 and I have to say as a true Midwesterner that it was my favorite (and my 8/12/14 year old sons) favorite vacation so far. Not a lot to complain about in Arizona, including the food. Just my opinion though.
No, the short that flows into Lake Ontario, some 30 miles from said hotdog jernt.
You go to Pizza Ranch for their fried chicken, mashed potatoes and dessert pizza. Nothing more, nothing less!
Food is completely subjective, as you know. What many people think is excellent, many others think is horrible, and vice versa. Personally, I don't care at all for Chicago-style deep dish, nor the thin, flimsy pizza --- I go for the "hand tossed" medium crust. To each his own, but no one can claim that anything is "the best" regarding food...it's just what that one person likes.
Sorry, once again I have a contrary comment to what you're writing --- first the pizza comment, now this.
You appear to have borderline hatred for Austin. Apparently you have lived a faultless life. Whatever.
Yes there are fans who never criticize , but there are many who engage in back and forth. I lived in iowa and I liked the people and state but the fan base doesn’t walk with angels.
I only lived there for 3 years, and I didn’t try some of that . I used to pick mushrooms as a kid but haven’t for years. Unfortunately my wife hates them so I don’t bother learning and going out for them .
I wish I spent those three years now, farm to table wasn’t a thing back in the 80s. Every single one I’ve tried locally was very good.
The man is still holding onto hatred from an incident that happened 6+ years ago, when Desanto was 18/19 years old and wrestling for Drexel.
My wife lived out in Arizona 20 plus years ago and loved the Mexican food. However we have had places open up here in Pa. the last 10 or so years that are quite good run by Mexican American people. I'm assuming Iowa has the same situation. But I bet Arizona and Texas would be better overall due to just volume like any other industry.
Sorry, as likable as you are, that is still a flag of the 15 yard variety. The rules on this board are simple and apply to ALL. Pics are now mandatory and we all expect to see them soon!
I have not but I'll try to remember if I make it back.
It’s also regional styles and availability of certain ingredients to an extent. AZ and CA are head and shoulders above the rest, imo.
**MSU beat me to it and he's 100% correct!***
Exactly. That goes with the buy lobster in Maine and beef or pork in Iowa thing. But yeah , as close to home grown as possible is the best option.
Absolutely. Definitely not the pizza, but I think that post might have been a little tongue-in-cheek.
Depends on what you're used to, I think. I've had quite a few steaks in Texas and Oklahoma over the years, and none of them were as good in my mind as the ones off my grill from a quarter or half side of corn-fed beef.
My friend from San Antonio prefers the Mexican restaurants in Muscatine to any down there. Pretty soon you'll be able to get authentic Mexican, Guatemalan, Peruvian, Columbian, etc. anywhere in the US if border policies stay as they currently are. Probably a lot of Middle-Eastern food too.
