Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Driving 1000 Miles

If I was going to Philly I think I would have to go to the Reading Market.

Stopped at Golden Corral for sports games a few times; along with a full team of hungry teenagers that needed feed. Pretty terrible chow.

But no schit, every time I've been there, at least 4 400+pounders were in there, gleefully gorging themselves, plates overflowing with gravy covered crap.

Ya, sorta like an improbably stereotypic Redneck reality show, 'cept its all LIVE

Yep. If you wanna see people over 400 lbs, just go to Golden Corral.

Steelhead, it could be worse, they could want to go to Golden Corral. Simply the worst... Stick to the breakfast foods at the CB and you'll be okay. Enough grease for a month, but okay.

I love the WH late night.

I saw a guy get stabbed with a fork once.

Another time a few of us walked in and nobody was there but the waitress who ignored us. Every table was wrecked, big ol mess. We go to the far side and sit a a less filthy table and the cook sticks his out if the office and whispers "we're closed". The fella looked a little busted up.

The waitress cleaned out the register and left I'm pretty sure she just lost it, whooped the cooks azz and boogied.

We ended up at a Huddle House that night. Pale imitation of the WH.

At least I can kill time playing the peg game with the 3 year old niece.

Good place for "people watching". Wal-Mart at similar times can be really bizarre, also. The real weirdos seem to come out at night.

Never ate at the City Tavern, just a few blocks south of Independence Hall but I can testify that the Colonial beers they serve there are absolutely wonderful

Never had a large order of pintos and large order of turnip greens from Cracker Barrel that wasn't good... Add a extra sweet relish with cornbread muffins. I can eat that anywhere and be golden.
However, I'm with you Scott 1,000 miles is a long way to go for beans and greens!
The last time I was in Philly I pretty much stayed at the Field House sports bar about a block away from Reading Terminal Market which has some wonderful food. My wife was at a international technology conference.
My liver was proud the conference only lasted three days, food there was good too!

Ha!

Don't forget the location of the grill. Right out in front where everyone can watch the greasy, hairy, pimple-backed, one-toothed, methed out cook sweat onto your bacon.

No man, you are confusing it with the "Creepy Ass Cracker Barrel" chain in Florida.

What happened to the days when you travelled to see family or close friends, and they cooked a meal fit for a King for you ? Even those on the tightest of budgets would bring out the best they had, food and finery, and you were always made to feel welcome.

No matter where you visit me, north or south, I do my best to put on a good home cooked meal, and make you welcome. As my Grandmother used to say "If you leave here, hungry, thirsty, tired or unhappy, there's something wrong with you because we aim to please you, kith or kin".

I hear you Lynn. Every time people visit here I'm a cooking machine.

Her sister doesn't cook, dad doesn't cook and grandma sure as hell don't cook.

Like I said, no other establishment even comes close

I've been in the Field House a few times. I've logged about 100 nights at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street from it.

If you want to see people turning toxic green and gruesome gray while chowing down, Golden Corral is your must go to dining experience !

I put my foot down at the beginning of our mission trip to Alaska. First two days everyone wanted breakfast from McDonalds. I told them I didn't fly 5,000 miles to eat crap. Had to do the same thing on the last day when the group wanted Golden Corral. We ended up at Sewards Folly. Pretty good food

A woman that doesn't cook, it just doesn't compute in my world, I started my daughters early. To me it's a shame, nothing makes me as happy as cooking for others and seeing them appreciate it. To me it comes down to plain laziness, I truly believe it is the biggest part of the problem.

A woman that has two and three hours a day to primp and powder, sit on her butt in front the TV till she starts to gather dust, and bitch, fart, and complain on the phone all day, and has no know how or time to cook a meal, deserves to have her ass kicked daily.

God pity the men who have them and think they hit the jackpot
