Not me, I really do not care what others want to eat, after all, some people actually eat Roquefort cheese.

The really interesting part of this thread is how we can disagree in this thread, but remain relitively civil.

Good to be in the south... where Waffle Houses outnumber Ihops by a large margin. 😁

In my area we have a couple SunRise Grill restaurants that have good waffles and panckakes, but I almost always order their Ruben sandwich with home fry potatos.

French toast.

That’s settled science.

I've never had a decent Manhattan version.
And despite my New England roots, I've tried a few.

I think my open mind was born at the Big E. (don't take that sentence out of context).
In the replica state house for Rhode Island, they serve up a quahog chili that might be the best food I've ever eaten.
I've had clam chili before, and it's usually a white chili kinda like what schmucks do for chicken chili.
But this is a true red chili and has beans.
It's has a little spice, and whole quahog clams. Neck, body and all.

I hafta wear a bib just to type about it.

The Big E...when the coastline of Massachusetts rises 3 feet above the water line from all the weight that piles into western MA.

Don't quote me, but there's a ton of good eats in Rhode Island.

good thing you clarified that the bacon is limp.
otherwise there'd be a lot of cbidders getting sick from eating raw bacon

Isn't the bacon pretty limp prior to cooking?

Frankie, just curious, iffin' you're eating a bowl of NE Clam Chowdah and run across a piece of bacon, what do you do? Do you stop eating the soup or finish it up?

I've asked a similar question to my vegetarian friends and they've come back with both answers.

so we do agree on some things: CA does have the best clam chowder... from SLO to Morro and Monterey Bay to SF

French Toast, if made well > than pancakes or waffles
