Lori Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/locator/neareststone.asp Heh. Nearest store to me is in State College, of all places. Yeah -- home of the Penn State Creamery. (Mmmm... Peachy Paterno...) Factoid: Ben and Jerry got their start in the ice cream biz by taking a correspondence course from PSU.

Well compaired to Taco Bell, Baja Fresh is much better. 631494[/snapback] They do that annoying "Welcome to Moe's!" crap whenever someone walks in the door. MUCH better quality than Taco Bell, and they sell beer. My wife loves the place. She told me that whenever Buffalo gets one, we can move back. I need to be told when you Buffalonians spot one!

Buftex Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Cold Stone, Marble Slab, Amy's, all very similar and all here in Austin. I don't think its anything special 628329[/snapback] I love Amy's ice cream (especially the Belgian chocolate) but, maybe it is the increasingly cranky old man in me, I can't stand going in there any more. The music is always so frickin' loud, bouncing off the metallic furniture, and they are pounding on the "crushings", I usually leave before it is my turn to order...is it just me, or is ambience something that is sorely missing in Austin?

Amy's is sort of a punkish flourescent type of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Baja Fresh is owned by Wendy's. They've been out here in the SF bay area for at least 5 years. Several BKs were closed and reopened as BFs. They sponsored a give away for the San Jose Sabercats Arena Football team one year. If they scored over 55 points in the home game, you got a free burrito (large one) with your ticket. The regional manager didn't do his homework. The Sabercats won all 8 home games and averaged about 65 points/ game. 8 free burritos for me!

I like FreeBird too, but again, hate the ambience of the place... Of course, my favorite Mexican resteraunt in town is Los Comales...it helps to be able to speak spanish when you go in there, but not essential...if you are ever feeling like crap, allergies got you down (if you live in Austin you will deal with this at some time) try their caldo! It has miraculous healing powers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Just wait until Chipotle Mexican Grill comes to Western New York. Burritos the size of a Mini Cooper. Great chips and salsa. I've been told they have excellent margaritas as well. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Great chips and salsa. CHIPS AND GUAC! CHIPS AND GUAC! CHIPS AND GUAC! Sorry... Chipotle is a big sponsor of the Minnesota Swarm lacrosse team (who, by the way, will CRUSH the Buffalo Bandits tomorrow!!!!). A few weeks ago, down 9-2 in the 3rd quarter to the Toronto Rock, the fans started chanting "CIHPS AND GUAC!" because if the team won, everyone won free chips and guac. The Swarm came back to win by a goal, and held the Rock scoreless for the entire 4th quarter (first time they ever held a team scoreless for an entire quarter). Awesome game, so that's become the unofficial chant of the Swarm. http://www.mnswarm.com/team/Game.asp?game_id=13 Oh, their burritos are really good too CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
