I believe you're referring to Chorico! Yes, we do have some fine Portuguese food! And awesome Italian (no, not the Olive Garden) food! |

That's very true. Have one at almost every Interstate exit, and along most major roads. There are three within 3 miles of my house. Closest Dunkin Donuts is 4 or 5 miles, across the street from the closest Krispy Kreme. KK's are only good when they first come out of the fryer. I prefer DD. Must be my Yankee roots. Several of the DD's went independent a few years ago. |

Mmmmmmmmm.... Waffle House. Not healthy at all, and we like it that way. Hashbrowns with onions and cheese, makes for long road trips with the windows down. |

Mmmmm.... Sweet Tea! I was in Texas this summer and I found out how great that southern drink is! It is driving me crazy that we dont have any here in Kalistan  . There is no substitute for it either. You cant just dump a bunch of sugar into regular iced tea and have it be the same. I feel like going back to San Antonio just to get some more of that tea.

Waffle House is hit or miss.......it tastes best at 2 in the morning after a long night at your local nasty white trash strip club...............
 .errr "gentleman's club".......that aside I normally prefer a local diner or Cracker Barrel when down south for Breakfast.......some Waffle Houses are okay - others are extremely ghetto.

Dude, DD is wicked good. I CRAVE it. There isn't even a Krispy Kreme in this town.
Krispy Kreme is very good, and I love their glazed donuts, but I do prefer DD donuts, bagels, and muffins. DD coffee is where it's at. Fuck Starbucks. Too expensive and overrated. |

Sup former Buckeye buddy. I got my father addicted to DD coffee. He makes me bring home some bags of coffee whenever I head back to Ohio (was just back last weekend for the SDSU game). All Ohio seems to have is overpriced Starbucks, gas station swill, or burnt Krappy Kreme. At least these New England liberals seem to know how to make coffee. eta: Oh and +1 on Skyline chili.

Yep Rodent Island has more DD than MA per capita - and they are not done yet! I don't understand why they even bother selling cars with directional signals there - no one uses them! And I thought Massholes were bad  BTW: Rodent Island #1 state for most corrupt government (NJ #2, LA #3) It may be the smallest state but they are #1 in a couple of important fields; corruption, most democrats, business unfriendly...

He died back in the late 1990's..........I remember the day well..........I was a teenager growing up in Maine........there was tremendous mourning when it was realized there was no longer someone to make the donuts..........Back in the day, there were two primary sources for coffee in the early a.m. - McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts - since McDonalds coffee tastes like shit - Dunkin Donuts soared in popularity......... |

Former MA resident of 30 years here who moved to FL 2 months ago.... Observations: - Dunkin Donuts' donuts used to actually be pretty good when they actually made them at the shop. But then they started making them elsewhere, shipping them in and reheating them. They've sucked since then. - Don't know much about their hot coffee as I don't drink coffee. The iced coffee is good but not as good as MaryLou's which is another coffee chain in Massachusetts known for their pink signs and stores and their tendency to only hire cute teenage girls to work for them. - I've tried to drive the S-curve on I-95 in Pawtucket at 70mph on a rainy day (AWD helps immensely) but everyone else in New England slows their speed to 20mph under the speed limit the second a single drop of water hits the ground. Hell, clear out the other drivers and the cops and I'll do 70mph through that twisty new I-93 tunnel that goes under Boston. - Turn signals are completely optional in Massachusetts. - Gun laws suck in Massachusetts. I like being in FL and actually having the option of "vehicle carry" (trunk gun, glovebox pistol, center-console pistol). Could never do that in MA, not even with a Class-A LTC. I also like my assault rifles and being able to buy any pistol I want and not just the ones that the attorney general tells me are "ok". - Why doesn't MA have any good fast-food places? They've got McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and KFC/Taco Bell. That's all. There's no Arby's. No Checkers. No White Castle. No Hardy's. Nothing. The ones that they do have all suck. Oh yeah, and no Waffle Houses in MA? WTF is up with that? |

One of my friends just narrowly escaped being charged with multiple felonies for possessing firearms in Massachusetts (he didnt have a FID/LTC or trigger locks). I have a Mass LTC Class A All Lawful Purposes - but it still isnt worth the hassle living there in my opinion. Too much bullshit.......If my unit moves to Cape Cod in the near future, I will commute from NH or move to Rhode Island (RI has tolerable gun laws - no AW ban). I don't own a single trigger lock - and purposefully destroy them when one comes with a gun I own.... Mass fast food places? Can't think of any good ones. I'm not big on fast food anyway though. There are some decent chain restaurants - a few good Mexican restaurants (go figure).......Sam Diegos in Hyannis and Plymouth kicks ass......Some good places to eat in Boston but I try to avoid the city - being stationed there I spend minimal time inside of Boston.........North End has good Italian food and some good Seafood restaurants as well.... On driving........I'll admit I now drive like an asshole - I was courteous when I arrived in Mass but the daily morning commute to Boston is........an adventure.....I never knew my Toyota Tacoma could go 95 mph in the slow lane.........neat. What was this thread about again? Oh yeah - Dunkin Donuts - oops........ |

Former MA resident of 21 years, moved to FL then MS two years ago.
Oh man, I forgot about Mary Lou's News. There was one by my house. Good stuff. And you're right, they always had cute girls.
Same thing in FL and ESPECIALLY MS. People freak out when it rains. At least it doesn't snow here... ever see people south of the Mason-Dixon react to snow? It's like the world is ending.
They're optional in MS too.
Good fast food? Isn't that an oxymoron? Seriously, there are much better places to eat in MA, as you know. Can we say relatively cheap Maine Lobster? Fuck Red Lobster, no true New ENglander goes there. It's a sin. Go to a shack on a wharf. Boston and the surrounding area has some fantastic restaurants. You can get anything you want in Boston. I've eaten Ethiopian there a few times. Good stuff. |

1) From one vantage point in Logan Airport about 6 years ago, I could clearly see three different Dunkin Donuts stores.
2) I am from Dunkin Donuts country, albeit in the midwest, and if they truly quit making them locally its a damn shame. They still trump Krispy Kreme any day of the week. 3) Dunkin Donuts coffee is one of the best things in life. Fourth only to crushing your enemies, seeing them running before you, and hearing the lamentations of their women. 4) Southerners don't know seafood. Most, though, are too culturally xenophobic to even try anything beyond chicken fried steak and grits, so they will never know what they are missing. 5) Despite this, the all time best Sushi place I have come across was in the Florida Panhandle. Go figure. |

I'll agree with this... to a degree. Most Southerners I've run across, living here for 2 years, when they think seafood, they immediately think "fried". Trash trash trash. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy fried shrimp, but it's nothing to write home about. That being said, there were a few fantastic seafood restaurants in Pensacola that actually didn't fry every damn thing on the menu. |
