The best grilled cheese I ever had was the Quechee Gorge sold at the Woodstock Farmers' Market in Woodstock VT. Sadly it appears to be no longer on the menu. It does get mentioned in a number of articles just like this one, though, and the internet says it had smoked Vermont cheddar, provolone, parrano cheeses, along with tomatoes and honey cup mustard, grilled on roasted garlic parmesan bread. My wife spent a couple months trying to recreate the recipe at home, after trying the sandwich on a family trip to Killington. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Italian beef. Wife grew up in Illinois and every time I go there it’s the local ❤️ On the menu….pizza place we eat at and it’s the only sand which on the menu. Down here in Florida all the Chicago shops/diner/pizza places has a Italian beef on it…and delicious. Also living in Kentucky for way way longer than I care to admit…the hot brown is not a “thing”. I’m sure it’s a big deal in Louisville but the rest of the state it isn’t. Never seen it on a menu anywhere. Probably say a pulled pork bbq sandwich is the most popular “non-burger” or would go with a “nashville” style or Buffalo chicken sandwich because they are on every menu. Ps…open faced is not a sandwhich…anything you have to eat with a fork should be disqualified. Edited August 31, 2022 by dgambill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) In my opinion cheeseburger is far too low and there is a buffalo chicken(maybe its new?) not on the list that's really good. Otherwise not a bad list and fully agree with the top 2. Hot Pockets ranked Edited September 7, 2022 by mrflynn03 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And meatball, while good, doesn't stack up to pepperoni or pepperoni and sausage... I'm not real high on the Philly Cheese steak Hot Pockets either... Make one with just onions and Cheese Whiz and maybe I'd convert... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would have put the bbq beef higher and pepperoni and sausage above meatball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only home ramen I eat is Nongshim Shin Black Noodle…add my own chicken or pork to it and a soft boiled egg and it’s a huge winner for me.

I am such a fan of good Ramen. Because of Top Ramen/Cup o' Noodles, it's gotten a bad rap in the US for far too long. I was in Tokyo a few years ago for work and was lucky enough to get introduced to Tonkotsu and it completely hooked me. Like anything, using the best ingredients and cooking the elements to 'layer' the flavors is an absolute must. I had it for my most recent birthday dinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home ramen is pretty bad…Shin Black is only I consider edible…again only with added ingredients…but we have a few korean and Thai restaurants that are pretty good. One near me I like to grab dim sum from for lunch with a co-worker once a week. Just love the variety.

mrflynn03 Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 When it comes to ramen I don't discriminate. I like it at most levels of quality. I justify it because instant ramen was invented in Japan. My favorite thing to do is get pork ramen and add green onions and smoked pork to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it's a perfect match for at least somewhere in the state. We'd come down from Chicago to Indy for Christmas for family get togethers and they would always involve at least 100+ White Castles.

The nearest White Castle to me is in Cape Giradeau, Missouri...650+ miles away... As far as the 100 White Castles, back in the day when my aunt would give me and Dad her Indy 500 tickets (she worked at Human and Co. In Terre Haute) we'd stop at the White Castle in Greenwood and get 100. They were like 17 ¢ a piece back then, so $17 bucks. The distinctive smell of a Slider would get to people sitting around us. They'd pay $1 a piece to get some... Pretty good return on Dad's investment 🙂 I can get the frozen ones here, but it's not the same...

I've got plans to be around people all weekend with football parties,etc....so I won't run over and get any but man I'm craving some sliders at 945am. Amazing the things we take for granted when it's close by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
