Series Thread: Second Round - Carolina Hurricanes vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

[thedddd]

Pfft...the only BBQ worth it, are Ham Barbeque's made in the crock pot. You have to be from Pittsburgh to get the reference.

Seriously though, Korean Pulled pork BBQ is my favorite.

I have a co-worker who says the best in Atlanta (chain wise) is Raising Canes. I never saw one when there but he said there is one in Athens.

We have Cane's here and it is so incredibly meh. Literally only has three items on the menu. Chicken fingers, cole slaw and fries. And everything comes with Texas Toast. Now if we could get a Zaxby's...

Carolina BBQ is probably my favourite. I don't understand the hate it gets.

I probably don't like it because I prefer beef brisket over pulled pork and Beef with sweeter sauce just doesn't work right, IMO. And I've never been a fan of vinegar. Like people who put vinegar on fries are aliens to me.

But when it comes to all BBQ/Open flame type food, nothing beats a good old Maryland Pit Beef sammich. I already know which two stands I am stopping at on my trip to Md next week.

Zaxby's is good.

You're not wrong about the sweeter sauce on beef.

Also, I love vinegar on fries. Or onion rings.

OH yeah been to Zaxby's they are worth it. As for Raising Canes, I figured it was nothing special since in the Atlanta area there is only one. In Atlanta I think the three staple restaurants are Mexican, Fried Chicken and BBQ. If you go to ANY of these and wait for a seat it better the best ever since there is one at every corner.

Had Raising Canes for the first time on a recent road trip. I fully agree with 43's assessment of "meh."

We do have Zaxbys around here too. I don't put it in the same category as Bojangle's or Chick-fil-A for some reason, even though I should. I don't know how to say it other than I just see Zaxbys as...Zaxbys. Do love the Buffalo chicken tenders on Texas toast. So good.

Zaxby's doesn't feel like "fast food" to me either. Or at least it's the fast food like Five Guys or Chipotle as opposed to Burger King or Taco Bell if that makes sense. Just feels "better".

Bojangles just announced they are opening a bunch of places here in Columbus. Plus we're getting Sheetz convenience stores and everyone is all excited. I'm just sitting here waiting for Zaxby's and Royal Farms. These people just don't know.

Ummm Sheetz MTO is really meh and just another gas station food place. Used to get the cheap hotdogs there but now really don't get any food.

And I agree about Zaxby's they do a better job of making it seem less like fast food vs other places.

Oh gawd, my mother used to make that all the time. My dad loved it. I can’t stand it!

 

[wings-pens2166]

Canes lead 1-0.

Did it look like Pesce gave the Tampa bench a bit of a drive by after that goal given the cheap shot by Kucherov earlier?

 

[wings-pens2166]

2-0 Jerks now

 

[Nasty_Magician]

What an amazing tip pass on that Aho goal.

[naslundfan19]

That was surgical.

 

[wings-pens2166]

Hate to say it, but that was a beauty by TB

 

[naslundfan19]

I’m in the minority in this series. Oh well. Go Spokane!

 

[naslundfan19]

Killorn ties it

 

[wings-pens2166]

That TB power play is just deadly

Yeah it all came down to if they purchased Isaly’s chipped ham or the awful shop-n-save brand and then what was the base of the BBQ sauce. Don’t ask what my mom did it was god awful, it had to do mainly with Ketchup and I am the only person from Pittsburgh that hates ketchup.

Funny enough, I used to like ketchup when younger but I think the last several years I’ve been turned off by it. I’ll still use it on the most rare of occasions, but even with fries I’ll either use malt vinegar or just eat them plain
