Anyone craving something from a different state?

tittytwistertortoises · July 2013

All day I have been craving bbq from the Salt Lick in Austin, Texas and creamed corn from Rudy's. These are things that are not local and really are things that I won't be able to have for a long time. So sad... Anyone else have these type of cravings?

I have been craving a true juicy Lucy from Minneapolis like crazy. It's so far away though!!!!

It's rough when you crave something you can't have, and any local substitute would not suffice. BBQ would be the same for me. I'm not craving it right now, but Seattle is NOT the place for BBQ, and I really miss the BBQ I get when visiting in laws in Kansas City.

I shouldn't have opened this! I had the best BBQ shrimp in my liiiife when I visited New Orleans last year. Then I also had some really amazing seafood gumbo..mouthwatering. Going on that trip ruined shrimp forever for me, now I HAVE to have it fresh. lol!

Maybe we can get someone from nearby to mail you some? Haha

(NOLA ladies chime in)

I also really miss primanti brothers in Pittsburgh like crazy!!!

ksf13 · July 2013

I think all of my cravings have been from out of state lately. I was telling my sister about a place I used to eat when I was at college earlier today and it made me want to go eat there sooo bad! I've also been craving seafood from another restaurant back home!

Ohhhhh why did you have to mention them???

Gosh I miss that food too. It's been 4 years since I've had a sandwich. Capicola was my favorite, then roast beef. NEVER take the fries or coleslaw off, I say!

That would be heresy!!!

I could always go for a taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll from NJ...can't get taylor ham up here. I do buy it when I'm down there and freeze it for when I want it, but it's not the same as from a diner or breakfast place.

NY/NJ pizza. Boston pizza sucks.

NJ bagels....so good.

Matt's or 5-8?

I'm afraid I might give the wrong answer.... Matt's is the only place I've been and it was amazing!!!! It changed my life!

See, I'm missing Seattle in general, but I'm in KC so I can get all of the BBQ I want. Want to trade lives for the weekend?

Yay KC! I never realized how great the BBQ was until I moved here.

I am missing and craving a horseshoe from IL though.

Where is your favorite for BBQ? I'm kind of addicted to Oklahoma Joe's, but Lawrence has this little hole in the wall called Biemer's that has amazing sweet & tangy sauce.

shill0810 · July 2013

Whataburger.
James Coney Island
Jack in the Box
Broiler Burger
Roadster Grill
Pappa's BBQ
Brisket BBQ

Oh, Texas. I miss you.

Right now we are literally down the street from OK Joe's, so we get that the most, love it and Jack Stack. Never been to Lawrence before.

elm005 · July 2013

Stroud's fried chicken and AE Party Dip from Kansas City. We moved to FL from there about 2 years ago and can't find anything that compares to either of them.

I am your flip side. I'm in the NYC area and I was thinking I really want good clam chowder or a lobster roll from MA!

EMLYNNLERETTE · July 2013

Schwarma King in Kalamazoo, MI is always on my mind. Olga's also in MI is a runner up.

Jlomanto1 · July 2013

Deep dish pizza from genos east in Chicago!

I live 20 mins from Rudy's and used to live 15 from Salt Lick but the only BBQ I crave is the pulled pork I grew up with in West Tennessee. I am making my parents bring me several pounds when they come down in September. You know Salt Lick ships BBQ? It's probably not the same as sitting there surrounded by the wonderful smells but it would still their BBQ.

There is no wrong answer. Matt's burgers are better, but 5-8 has other cheese options (I hate American) and 5-8 has a bigger menu.

ETA: I've actually heard that The Nook in St. Paul has the best of all 3.

True story about the nook. More than amazing.

SweetPeaK26 · July 2013

Amigos from Nebraska
Pizza Ranch chicken from Minnesota
Prime rib with sautéed mushrooms and cheesy hashbrowns from Sparetime in Seward, Nebraska.

Clearly I need to head north.

beckalecka · July 2013

I crave In-N-Out burger and they don't have it here in Washington.

Babybabybabyohhhhhhh · July 2013

This is lame and definitely not out of state, but I am craving a cranberry lime Frizzante soda from Wegmans, and the only one around me is 45 minutes away. Wah wah, I know

Oh.em.gee. I grew up in Jersey and would kill for some taylor ham. Making a mental note to have my mom bring me some next time she visits. Also some Jersey sloppy joes.. the kind with russian dressing and cole slaw!

HeatherMc78 · July 2013

I am a NY'er living in Florida. I would give anything for a Brooklyn bagel, a slice of pizza and a coconut Italian ice.

jjkaye · July 2013

I don't know what most of the places mentioned are!

I wouldn't complain if someone brought me an Italian beef from Portillo's though!

AlejandraN2 · July 2013

I'm craving my mom's stuffed peppers and my dad's souvlaki, and maybe my mom's special rice and just everything she makes. Or maybe i just miss home. And it's an ocean and a sea away

rachelstauf · July 2013

Oh! I would love a glass of Magical from Disney World. Best sparkling wine I've ever had, but they only serve it on Disney property and I live in Kansas...

Ha @rachelstauf! It's too hot there, no way! I have a personal vow to never go to Kansas in July or August if I can help it, so we were there in May haha. But go to Oklahoma Joe's and enjoy their ribs for me sometime. Love their regular sauce too.

DH and I also went to Jack Stack though right by Union Station in May and really enjoyed that too. We had a date there 6 years ago too when I first went to KC to meet his family. Yum.

I actually went to their website after I posted and saw that. I was really tempted. I am thinking I might get the cookbook or some saw at least. So jealous of how close you live to my cravings

This is one that I indulge in probably once a week. Most of the time I just get animal fries.

Bellodomani · July 2013

Maduros & empanadas from Pambiche, pho from Ha Vl, and duck wings from Pok Pok, all in Portland. Plus roast beef with cheese whiz from This Little Piggy in NYC.
