Questions, questions, questions...

I've been to the Falafal Drive In located in San Jose, California. The falafal's were great! Also make sure to order the banana shake. I've also been to the Mad Greek in Baker, California. The Gyros were really good. Make sure to order the strawberry shake. |

The Bomber in Ypsilanti, MI, was featured on... I can't recall precisely. Maybe that Top 5 show. They serve a gigantic breakfast that was the focus of the segment. Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burgers in Ann Arbor was on DD&D a few months ago. It's everything they portrayed. Zingerman's Bakehouse was visited in passing on some show where Alton Brown came to Ann Arbor to do a kitchen makeover for someone. He got to go in the back where they bake stuff, whereas I have to stay in the storefront and buy things. As a foodie, of course, I'd already been to those places before FoodTV found out about them. <smug smile> Cindy Hamilton |

I had quite a spell (decades) at Philippe's in downtown L.A.
Can't get enough of the French "double"-dipped sandwiches and HOT mustard. The 9˘ cup of coffee is pretty great as I remember. I forget the food-tv show it was showcased on. Should've been the next question. ![]() http://www.philippes.com/restaurant/ Andy |

![]() Fast Eddie's Bon Aire was on Season 2 of "Feasting on Asphalt". The Crown Candy Kitchen was on "Food Finds" I think. I've never actually been to Ted Drewes, but I've eaten their custard, and that's been on at least a couple of shows.

There's a place near us that's featured on an upcoming Bobby Flay Throwdown. (It's been taped but the air date hasn't been publicized yet.) http://granvillemoores.com/ I haven't had their signature mussels, but the bison steak and cheese sandwich was excellent when I was there. The fries were a little less crispy than I would have liked but stll good. My husband liked his bison hangar steak and fries. Nice Belgian beer selection. pat |

I haven't been to a Food TV showcased restaurant but I have been to a hotel in Switzerland that was showcased on Rick Steves' travel show. It was Walter Mitter's hotel in Gimmelwald. That was back in 1993, years before I saw it on television. It was very rustic and we arrived there in time to book dinner, which was to be lamb stew that night. I don't know where we would have gone if we hadn't planned for dinner there because it is just a tiny hamlet. The breakfast was good. They had orange juice, strong coffee, freshly made bread, butter, jam and cheese. It wasn't exotic, but it was a good hearty breakfast. |

If I had to recommend breakfast places in the Ann Arbor area, I'd have to go with the Northside Grill or Angelo's. The Northside has a very sensitive hand with scrambled eggs, and Angelo's waffles are practically a food group. They also do a very nice french toast with bread that's baked in-house. Cindy |

Dimitri, Well that's not playing fair! ![]() There is a long list of showcased food places I've written down! Much to my surprise, the famous Chicago deep dish "Pizzeria Uno" has a franchise up the road a few miles from home-base, here in SE Pennsylvania. I'm anxious to try it out, fat, diet and diabetes be damded. Hope they do it up right, like downtown Chicago! Best, Andy |

They claim they invented the fried clam. Don't know if that's true, but their fried sea food is excellent. Also superb chowder. Farnum's has a good view of the Essex river and you can eat outside, but, other than that, no atmosphere. |

Not really a restaurant but great food and well worth going. Come prepared to eat, for a couple of days straight and Corky's Barbecue (Memphis, TN) BBQ with Bobby Flay.

In fact, they did a segment on Ye Olde Diner in State College PA. I have dined there before and after that segment. They have also show cased several restaurants in my home town of Philadelphia where I have eaten. I enjoyed them all. I was also fortunate to eat dinner at Emerol's Nola restaurant in New Orleans once. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. |

It's good stuff. There's a place in Audubon PA named Zwahlen's that (I think) has better custard than Drewes. There was also a custard stand in Buxton light, NC that had the most amazing custard. It wasn't extremely rich like Ted Drewes but flavor was just wonderful. Jon |

You can find their food precooked and prepacked in the freezer section of the grocery store and in most places their barbecue sauce and dry rub. Though it has the same flavor, there is nothing like ribs coming right off the hickory and charcoal. There ae tons of Corky's around not just Memphis but many Southern States particularly. There is one in Tunica in one of the Casinos that had one of the best locations of Corky's that we tried. Trusting the locals for the best place to eat, out of the way places to shop, and the best hole in the wall spot for drinks and live music that dosen't blast you out of your chair. Cindi If you ever head down to Memphis you need to spend a little time at the Peabody Hotel. More than one restaurant, a great Sunday Brunch, and high tea. > Andy > > |
