Country Pancake House-NJ

Country Pancake House
140 East Ridgewood Avenue
Ridgewood, NJ 07450-3848
(201) 444-8395


The Country Pancake House is famous for its 90 flavors of  huge pancakes. And these aren’t any ordinary pancakes. They are the size of a tire.


Complimentary Chocolate Chip Corn Bread on every table is amazing. 9 egg omelets!! Not to mention everything delicious too!!!

I ordered an omelet because I was intimidated by the size of the pancakes but the omelet was the size of a Nerf football. Not to mention all their eggs come with 2 normal size pancakes and homefries.
Next time I will surely order the GIANT pancakes I cant wait.

Uncle Bubba's-GA

Uncle Bubba's
104 Bryan Woods Road
Savannah, 
GA 31410



Uncle Bubba's claim to fame is that he's Paula Dean's brother. Let me be brutally honest here.  I originally went to Paula Deen's famous The Lady & Sons first, but didn't want to wait in line for a buffet (buffet food is never the best way to experience something the famous fried chicken would be cold and mushy).  To make up for the loss, I decided to try Uncle Bubba's since he is Paula Deen's beloved little brother.




This place is alittle outside Savannah on your way towards the ocean. I was on my way to Tybee Island so this was on the way. The place was packed and the only place to sit was at the bar.


Started off with the fried pickles and a dozen raw oysters. These pickles were perfect. Really good and the oysters hit the spot. Nice and fresh.  Then our meals came out. I ordered the low country boil (shrimp,kielbasi,potato's,corn) and my fiance got a chicken sandwich with Paula Deen's famous fried chicken. Well her famous chicken isn't anything special really. I liked it alot but my fiance didn't even finish it and hates this place lol. My boil was kinda lame to. Basic OldBay and the shrimp were kinda mushy. Its a cool place to check out if you are in the area or a fan of Paula's.

Asia Dog-NY

http://asiadognyc.com/


Asia Dog brings their mobile hot dog stand to various places around Manhattan and Brooklyn. A different place everyday. Check the website for details.

Voted #1 hot dog in the country by MSN.com.

A great American classic with an asian twist. These dogs have some extreme combinations. Kimchi, peanuts, wasabi, curry or even seaweed. These dogs are strange at first but then after one bite you will understand. These flavor combo's really work. Ive have dogs at alot of famous places and these are some of the best. The only hot dog I have had better was at Super Duper Weenie in Fairfield Ct.

I was really impressed. I don't even know which ones I ordered there were to many choices and I didn't even know what half of the toppings were but I highly recommend you check them out. I got my dogs at the Brooklyn Flea at 1 Hanson.

Dot's Back Inn-VA

Dot's Back Inn is a cozy restaurant in the out-of-the-way part of town. It really is hard to find it. Turning off the main drag (West Laburnum Avenue), you pass through several blocks of residential area and begin to wonder if your G.P.S. needs reprogramming when you come across this small cluster of shops and restaurants. That would normally be alarming, but this was intended to be just a neighbourhood dive like this. I was really impressed on entering this restaurant and seeing all the history on the walls and the Pinup girl retro/greaser feel. 


I got a sailor sandwich and my fiance got the black bean corncakes. Both were really good. Wish i could go back but I don't think ill be in Richmond again for another 20years.

Junior's Cheesecake-NY

Junior's Cheesecake
386 Flatbush Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11201
(718) 852-5257



While walking thru Brooklyn I stumbled upon the famous Junior's. Almost a household name nowa days for taking the trophy for the best NY cheesecake. Juniors has been on many TV shows and has many recipe books etc. This is the real Juniors not a satellite in Manhattan that gets their cheesecakes from this location.

I got my first slice of Juniors to go. Ate it right outside. It was really awesome. Much more whipped and light then any cheesecake I'm used too. More like a cool whip. Crust was delicious. This was really enjoyable. I much recommend their cheesecake. I hear any of the food they sell inside the restaurant is lame so just stick to the cake and be happy.

White Manna -NJ















White Manna Cheeseburgers
358 River Street
Hackensack, NJ 07601-5817
(201) 342-0914

Finally made it to White Manna after seeing it on every food show in existence. This place is super awkward. Looks quite strange on the outside and the inside is so small everyone is mushed into each other. Super packed waited maybe 20min for our food. The one women cooking the food was mean and could have used a shower but those burgers never looked so good. Sitting there watching them sizzle and the onions and the steam. I think its all part of why they are so good. They tease you for awhile and you cant have them you have to wait your turn but they are right in your face cooking up.
 
These little sliders were super good and super cheap. I ordered 4 with everything and shared a fry and was full. Super greasy and super sloppy. Pretty much White Castle done right. I def plan on going back to this dive.

Peninsula Grill-SC





















Peninsula Grill
112 North Market Street
Charleston, SC 29401-315


This may be the fanciest restaurant in Charleston but boy is it beautiful. After seeing this place on Throwdown for 12layer coconut cake I knew one day I would make the journey. Coconut is my fiance and I's favorite thing in the world. So after scoping the place out we decided it was alittle fancy for us. Prices are around $35-50 for dinner a la carte. I called up and asked if i could order a slice to go. The cake in the restaurant is $14 a slice I believe to go was $11. You can order the cake online shipped to your house for $196 shipped but this cake wieghs 30lbs!!!!!! So we took the cake to the waterfront right there in Charleston. The city is amazing and the park was beautiful lit up at night by the gas lanterns at night. The cake was sure good. But being with my fiance in Charleston was better.
