    At least I'm not flying to East St Louis for a Listeria clean up after hours. They'll have an armed escort for that one.

    Headed to Valparaiso in a couple weeks via Midway. Choice Hotels have hotels in Porter, Portage (which is closer to Gary, no thanks), and Hebron. Anyone familiar with these areas? I know Gary is just a 'touch' rough.
    I grew up in Crown Point and worked in Valparaiso. Stay in Merrillville/Hobart. Plenty of nice hotels and restaurants. Valparaiso is straight down 30.

    No problem. Let me know if you need restaurant/bar recommendations. Any hotel straight off 30 should be safe. The Radisson is probably the cream of the crop.

    Today, as part of my job, I have had to repeatedly use the words "poop explosion."
    ...and the milk's in me.

    My office mate is typing furiously behind me, and I just heard her mutter, "Save as... poop explosion."
    ...and the milk's in me.

    While in San Fran, make a stop at Crepes on Cole and have their Hawaiian crepe. Ham, pineapple and soy sauce, with a side of amazing potatoes. Worth going out of your way for.

    I would love to do a "BBQ Road Trip" in which I drive to Kansas City, Memphis, and either Dallas or Austin and sample BBQ from each area.

    Memphis has some of the worst BBQ I've ever eaten. I don't know why that place gets such a good rap. Almost like the people that review those resturants have never made it outside of Memphis. Nashville too. I've had way better BBQ in Texas

    Nonsense. I have been to Memphis for a family visit years ago, and I went to Cozy Corner and got the BBQ cornish hen and it remains to this day just about the best thing I have eaten.

    Well I didn't go there specifically, but I ate at MULTIPLE places on Beale St and 2nd and 3rd. The most pleasing thing I got out of that experience was the Catfish.

    That whole city is a dump.

    Don't leave the Carolinas out. The mustard-based BBQ in SC is divine.

    Ever notice how when it comes to BBQ food everyone knows THE BEST PLACE ever, and it's never, ever, ever the same as someone else's BEST PLACE EVER, and all other places are crap, and no other city in the world has better BBQ than the city that said BEST PLACE EVER is in?

    Memphis is basically on the same level as Detroit to me.

    I didn't eat half as much BBQ as I did in Memphis. But again I wasn't impressed given the hype.

    And let me rephrase, I shouldn't say it was the worst BBQ I've ever ate... It was the most mediocre BBQ I've ever ate considering what TN is known for.
