I’d like to go to Vegas sometime. I don’t gamble but would like to see the place that gave birth to the snowclone “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. I think there’s a good chance it’ll disappear/collapse soon due to climate change, and I want to see the “before” of a monument to man’s hubris that spits in the face of water usage.
New Orleans. The history, the food, and the music!
I used to travel a good bit for work and I say with confidence that NOLA has some of the best food in the country.
I’ve heard stories from my friends. It’s on my short list for sure.
I’ve got Ireland soon and Chicago in June.
Bev’s Seafood, crawfish, get a pound more than you think you want. Quite possibly the best meal I’ve had in my life. I still think about it 8 years later.
Also get a Bloody Mary while you’re down there (not at Bev’s, just, like, in NOLA), just make sure they put the pickled green beans in em. So fucking good.
Edit: I can’t speak to Ireland, but gotta do a proper Chicago dog dragged through the garden on a poppy seed bun. Though I can’t recommend a specific joint for it.
Ty
I do wanna try actual cajun food someday, midwest spicy is pathetic and flavorless for the most part
The Midwest had the worst food almost as a rule, the exception being the fish and chips I got at a fuckin hotel restaurant in Madison was the best I’ve had in the world, including London, an astounding compliment mirrored by my English coworker.
There are a few gems, but its usually pretty bad.
Hartville Kitchen in up by Akron ohio (amish food, the good and fattening kind). Get the roast beef and noodles, and pie with streusal top and ice cream 🤤
Fiesta Pizza up in canton/akron ohio (pizza, broasted chicken, jojos (giant broasted potato wedges)).
