Texas steaks are hard to beat. Have never had a free one though. Think I would vomit if I had a 20 oz one (steak that is). Prices down there are cheap too compared to the east coast. Even if it is not free.
They also have a place in Houston called Kelleys that has the best breakfast food on the planet. If you are a grits, biscuits and gravy type person, you'll cum at the table. Yummy shit right thar. Git er done.
Virginia Kitchen in Herndon VA ranks a close second. Have not been for awhile, but there used to be lines at the door on Sunday mornings. REAL Virginia ham with the bone in the middle.
Best BBQ joints are in Kansas City.
Best crabcake places are in Baltimore. Have never had a good one outside of Maryland.
Am in a food mood now. Thanks for the thread.
