  1. I dont know if this has been done before but I 'm new to the food forum so here goes.

    10. Wendys/Chick Filet/ McAllisters
    9. Back Yard Burger
    8. Jasons Deli
    7. Piccadilly
    6. Sonnys BBQ
    5. Sweet Tomatoes (Salad place in Florida)
    4. LeMadeleines
    3. Portobellos
    2. Smokey Bones BBQ. I'm pumped up that they are building one on Seigen in BR. They had them in Orlando when I used to live there.
    1. Panera Bread They had a million of these restaurants when I lived in Florida. They are kind of a French/California style fast food place and bakery. Unbelievable food.

    I like Frostop too, mostly for the root beer rather than the food but Number 1 ???????


    :dis: :confused: :eek:
     
  6. I went to Frostop yesterday and it is a stinky dirty mess. I wish they would clean it up and give it a little paint job and renovation, it could be a very neat place.

    best greek: tie: arzi's/albasha

    you cant beeat those two greek places in baton rouge.

    best food in the world: crawfish pies

    best mexican: any crappy taqueria in houston


    NOOOOOOOOO! thats the first place i go when i visit my parents in baton rouge. they have the sweet iced tea with the packets of lemon juice, and the chopped beef bbq sandwich. damnit! i love that place. (i think it is spelled "poduh's)

    frostop has by far the best rootbeer, and possibly the best beverage i have ever tasted.

    i love the great wall. i used to go there and eat so much, i would have the big distended belly like poor kids in ethiopia. i like shrimp toast.

    ]


    close, its Podnuh's and its third rate bbq but good on the run but I think they they have closed down?


    love Zorba's best.


    The Great Wall rocks. I still like Bamboo House of Sherwood behind the Waffle House. It was the first place that offered the the grill that cooks the raw stuff while you eat their buffet. its still good stuff.

    yes and the place has always been filthy. I used to work downtown and get an oyster poboy almost daily. delicious.


    bengal b made a very nice list.



    burger delite? great burgers but don't look inside. nasty.
