Me too! My latest find? The chicken salad at the resturant at Rush Hour Karting. The lady who owns Unforgettable Food Affairs is running it now, and her chicken salad is to die for. I could eat a pound of it all by myself, and I'm not joking...
So am I and the best one I used to love came from Lunch Box in Raleigh.....that is till they started adding a little curry powder to it (curry powder and I don't get along to well nor does it bode well for anyone around me). Haven't really found another one that is absolutely to die for.
When it comes to dogs......it's either bright leaf/carolina packers with ketchup chili and onions or a Nathans/Sabrett with mayo and cold kraut. Only two ways to have a dog.
I'm not a big fan of Bright Leaf like I was in my youth. They have good smoked sausage for sausage dogs, though. I like Jesse Jones for the pink weenies. I'll take one of the beefy franks with fine meaty chili (not soupy), mus-My Friend and onions.
We had some Ballpark beef ones last night that were really good for a hotdog. We don't eat them on a regular basis though. DS likes the Brightleaf ones, but they make me :ack:. Obvisouly I am not a native JC girl. :lol:
I'm JoCo born and raised. When I was a kid, I would eat those famous brightleaf hotdogs....COLD...right out of the fridge. No need for a bun or anything. Now, I really love Nathan's all beef hot dogs!!!! As far as chicken salad I have to say I just about cried when Unforgettable Food Affairs closed their lunch counter. I LOVED their chicken salad. Has anyone been to the new Tookie's Grill in Garner at the Forest Hills Shopping center??? I was told they are known for their chicken salad.
mus-My Friend (good deli or spicy), chilli and slaw... thats all I need!! Mus-My Friend and 'kraut belong on a bratwurst!
"All the way" with slaw...yum...from the Grocery Bag (Percy Flowers) or Short's in Selma. Translation: "All the way" is mus-My Friend, chili, onions
L O V E that place! it's about 2 minutes from my work. We go about once a month. I have to split one with someone....I can't eat a whole one on pita bread....she packs it so full. It is the best.
I used to work about 2 minutes from there and would time it to arrive about 1:15pm for lunch, and the lady in there would usually be just about out of chicken salad, so she would grab me a fresh chicken breast and make up a batch just for my sandwich. I used to eat there once a week until they started adding the curry powder to the chicken salad.
I absolutely love the curry powder. Never liked it before, don't really like it in anything else. But I love it in their chicken salad.
oh yeah they had some good chicken salad, i used to work just about 5 minutes from there too before they moved our office to dang Cary a couple years ago, i miss their food. A few weeks ago i got some homemade chicken salad from Lowes Foods over in the deli and it was really good but haven't seen it since, maybe a one time thing?
Where is that at? i used to go up to the Grapevine at least once a week to get that chicken salad wrap, it was so good.
