IMO American cuisine for the most part is boring. Give me Thai, Indian, Mexican, etc....any day over Apple Pie and Fried Chicken.

it's all relative

Sir, you need to visit England for really awful food. American cuisine? It's a gastronomic rainbow of laughably large proportions by comparison to the slop I grew up eating.

You know why the Brits conquered the world? 'cause they were looking for someplace to eat.

Off-topic, but funny anyway:
In heaven, all the chefs are French, the British are the police, the Germans are the mechanics, the Italians are the lovers and the Swiss run everything.

In hell, all the chefs are British (see there's the tie-in), the Germans are the police, French are the mechanics, the Swiss are the lovers and the Italians run everything.

Dude that is a tourist trap. I hate Phillip's so many better places to go for seafood; especially crabs.

I go to school in Frederick (Hood College, if you know it) and Black Hog usually stays packed. I've never been there but judging from the crowd, it must be pretty good.

Haven't been to Friscos either. But now I know 2 places to hit up. (I'm a commuter )

This thread blows.
I would have to drive 12 hours to get to those places.

Here's another one that's only three hours away. Good German food.
Jacoby’s German Biergarten - Home

Sorry Alvin, I've never been to Michigan.

DR - Black Hog turns tables over pretty quickly, or you can sit at the bar and eat. Definitely worth it.

Ate here tonight at the original location in Greenville MS. One of the best steaks I've ever had.
