You're forgiven! You either like the chili or you don't, of course us hard core Tommy's fans say the chilli is lousy unless you've popped a jalapeno in your mouth first!

Sure. How's this for heresy: Chicago *thin-crust*...I have to admit I've never liked the deep-dish/stuffed kind...but Chicago is hard to beat for pizza.

If you head this way again, I've got a whole list. Obviously starting with the silly stuff on the wharf....

Oh I agree. People have more trouble finding the Court tho, especially in a drunken stupor. I collect the glasses from PatO's though. Total tourst trap...

Delaware makes a stronger claim to crab cakes especially on the beach in the summer, when you need to put "Hot Buns at the Beach" on them! But ribs anywhere east of Memphis are a poor imitation. Too far from the cow....

Even sit-down, Chinese is fast food. Too many good ones out here to even begin to name, but we also have Vietnamese, Thai, and endless others. The archetype in SF tho is Sam Wo where the waiters are offensive and threaten to make you write your own order in chinese (cuz the cooks don't speak english). Gotta be Szechuan or Dim Sum in my book tho.
Oh, Ethiopian! There's a hole in the wall in Adams Morgan in DC that I went to years ago that was to die for....
