It’s like two blocks away! I just come from the other direction. Very cool... check it out sometime. Its casual dining as opposed to fast food... you'll have a waiter and all that.

The Poojer Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Primos is pretty damned good. Great rolls which really enhances the hoagie. their diablo series are my jawn. Let me add Hardees to the list. Not sure if they are up in NY, i know we don't have them very close to the philly area, but i love hardees, never been to their alter ego Carls Jr, but i imagine its the same On 3/8/2020 at 3:44 PM, RaoulDuke79 said: I had Jersey Mike's for thr first time close to 20 years ago when I traveled to NC. They put one close to me about 2 years ago, and I remember it being much better the first time around. I love a good sub or hoagie (? @Joe in Winslow), and right now Primos is at the top of my list. I was in Nashville this weekend and had 100% intent to go to Hattie B's. Then someone said "No, to to princes". then i read things online and wound up a bit north of the city at a place called Moores Spicy Chicken in a very non-descript strip plaza.

I also have been thinking about Haddie B's hot chicken since going to Nashville for the Bills game last fall. That stuff was delicious. Every SU game I have watched this season had commercials for a fast food place called Zaxbys. Never heard of it before that but the food looked pretty good, at least on TV. Any one of those 3 coming up North to WNY or CNY would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pike shares a family with Muskie and pickerel. That family is primarily catch and release (or mount, if you're a trophy guy), but very few people eat them. Same with bass.

qwksilver Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) We have Stake and Shake down hear in South Fla. but you get can decent/good fast burgers anywhere. What I really miss here and home is Garcia's Mexican Restaurant I believe it was in West Seneca (Union Road). Down here it was on Pine Island in Davie Fl. Oh the cheese crisp with the hot sauce and margaritas.....I believe they're in Arizona still but that doesn't help. What I wouldn't give for a Mighty Taco down here, the Burritos, the loganberry, chips & cheese, the empanadas... oh a man can dream!

If I make it to Nashville again this season I might have to venture out to some local suggestions for hot chicken to put that to the test. Haddie B's was great though. I can usually handle things on the hot side but for my visit there I only chose "Hot" for my heat level which was still two levels from the hottest, just below "Damn Hot" and "Shut the Cluck Up". I think I made the right choice as it was extremely spicy but not quite too hot too eat and enjoy. Definitely a different hot than wing sauce. I believe it was cayenne pepper based. In any case it was very good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I like your comparison to Anchor Bar. I did the same thing but used Pat's and Geno's for Cheesesteaks in Philly. Those are the touristy places, the better ones are dotted all across the area. Your right, it is a different hot, i also went with Hot and any more would have me wriggling on the ground. I was warned to dial it back a level for what i would normally do, which almost led me to go medium, but i braved the hot and was glad i did 4 hours ago, Metal Man said: I guess there is the possibility that Haddie B's to the Nashville locals is how most WNY folks view Anchor Bar.

With the pike, the issue isn't so much with the meat as it is with it being a pain in the arse to clean. The fillet is good eating, it just takes some knowledge and extra work to cut it properly. That Y-bone is annoying af. Bass can actually be pretty good early in the year if you catch them in clean, moving water. I've fried it right on the bank with shore lunch and had it come out very tasty. But yeah, if you wait until the weather warms up (after March/April) it gets pretty mushy and gross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Les Stroud is an absolute bad ass.

Looked on their website and there is one on 3601 UNION ROAD, CHEEKTOWAGA, but do not remember ever seeing it. Amazes how many there are in some areas. I guess it is due to local franchise owner deciding competition is not up to stuff and just expanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
