Sheetz. I could live on their food. Come to think of it, I do. That was the highlight of my trip up there a couple years ago. Well that and the fried cheeseburger from Jerome Bettis' restaurant  .

The Asian influence in SoCal is what attracts me the most but there are a few Mexican restaurants worth visiting too. There are lots of Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Japanese, and Vietnamese and more than a few Mexicans here.  Never a lack of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc food places that's for sure. I used to go to Ancho's in Riverside a lot. Their steak tacos are good and the fresh, hot, homemade tortillas are amazing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Climb off your high horse skippy. My inlaws are Italian and they all call it gravy. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Why do call tomato sauce gravy? I hope it doesn't spread. No real Italian calls pasta sauce "gravy". Marcella Hazan would be rolling in her grave. Are there any "real" Italians in NH? Anyway, it's something I've heard forever in South Philly/South Jersey speak (I pre-date Sopranos by a couple decades). The implication has always been "gravy" is homemade and "sauce" is not. Well let it go. All of it. I've visited Italy many times. I have family members from Italy. I was friends with Marcella Hazan, who brought *real* Italian cooking to America (not the "mozzarella sticks" on Enzo's menu). It's not gravy.. ETA: Actually, call it whatever you like. Looking at their menu, at Enzo's, it probably is "gravy". What bothered me is that in the OP you said that anyone who thinks differently is a "heathen". Climb off your high horse skippy. My inlaws are Italian and they all call it gravy. "Some Italian Americans on the East Coast and around the Chicago area refer to tomato sauce as "gravy", "tomato gravy", or "Sunday gravy", especially sauces with a large quantity of meat simmered in them, similar to the Italian Neapolitan ragù. "Gravy" is an erroneous English translation from the Italian sugo which means juice, but can also mean sauce (as in sugo per pastasciutta). The expression for "gravy" in Italian is sugo d'arrosto, which is literally "juice of a roast" and is not specifically tomato sauce." |

Little place at an intersection on an old country highway serves up the best breakfast you could ask for. They also are a bakery, and it's where I get all my bread now since I can buy homemade deliciousness right off the cooling rack.

I was just introduced to a TINY French cafe serving country style soups and sandwiches. The woman runs the counter and brings you the food, the man makes the food in front of you. Amazingly fresh and all around wonderful.

Yep. That's idiotic. I've heard it from a smattering of NJ folks. Now, from PA. I hope it doesn't spread. No real Italian calls pasta sauce "gravy". Marcella Hazan would be rolling in her grave. Quote HistoryQuoted:

God help you if you would have told either of my Grandmothers they were not "real Italians" they would have given you the beating of your life with a wooden spoon. Marcella Hazan could have learned alot from those two. |

Marcella Hazan would be rolling in her grave. Agree. Gravy requires a roux. With the exception of red eye gravy which is still within the definition below. Webster: Gravy: a sauce made from the thickened and seasoned juices of cooked meat. |

Best Pho and Thai Restaurant in Renton, Washington. Kim's Mongolian Grill, also in Renton, but I think it may have a different name on it than Kim's now.

I'll be out in SoCal visiting family this weekend for Easter, and we will surely hit Felix's Continental Cafe on the circle in the city of Orange, CA.
On the weekends, they put tables out on the sidewalk on the southwest arc of the traffic circle at the intersection of Chapman and Glassell. Eat a fantastic breakfast and watch custom cars and motorcycles cruise through the circle. Try the tostada latina, basically a sandwich made from two pieces of french toast, with guava jelly in the middle. Dang, it's good. |

Jus Cookin' in Lakewood, Colorado, looks just like a farmhouse and they sell American food like meatloaf, pot roast, and chicken pot pie. A nice change from all the Italian and Mexican chains.
