I hate it when I don't quite make it to the restroom in time and the Hot Brown Chislic Runza down to my Lobster Nuggets.

That reminds me... I have some boudin in the freezer. I wonder if it's still good.

I don't think stuffed ham gets the national love it deserves. Everyone in American knows the Philly cheesesteak and NY style pizza, but very few people outside of SoMD know about stuffed ham. People should know about runzas, too. And Utah's green Jello.





Okay, not that last one.

OK, I'll bite. What's so special about green jello in Utah?

Myrtle Beach hidden Treasure.... Little Italy just off the beaten path from the crazy strip of chain restaurants and tourist traps... 3001 N Kings St. In a small strip. It is owned and chefed by Luigi, born and raised Italy. This is his retirement place... small, but big enough for him to continue the cooking and baking he loves. Sauces, oils and even the house Italian dressing are full bodied flavor and robust.

Nobody knows. But it's their thing. We thought the first gal was funning us, but the lady at the visitor's center confirmed it.

Green jello.

No kidding.

That sounds great!

Our Myrtle Beach happy place is Jerusalem on Kings. Israeli noms and the first time I ever had shakshuka.

You're killing me with this thread. at 1230 tomorrow I have a date with the Silver Stallion, I haven't eaten since yesterday with the exception of orange popsickles, duralax, Gateraid and some other shlt to make me shlt. She WILL stop and get me milkshake and Chickfila on the way home for me to grill my bison burgers!
PS I hope they don't knock me out this time so I can get the full effect!

That all being said up here in York County Pa it is the "junk food capitol of the world" IMO, no tiny town of at least 50 isn't worth it;s salt without at least 2 pizza or sub joints. Allen's Eatery in Lewisberry, Pa gets the nod for pizza and subs here IMO.
