<p>They are–I’ve been to that restaurant (my H grew up in a small steel town about 30 miles from Pittsburgh). Kids are amused and think it’s fun, but that’s about it. The recommendation for Graeter’s ice cream in Cincinnati is right on. It’s very, very good. Beats out the weird Cincinnati chili.</p>
<p>In the Pittsburgh area I’ve eaten a steak salad that included fries. In Paris, when you order a chwarma from a street vendor, you can add salad and fries.</p>
<p>Is the UF Flying Biscuit the same chain of Flying Biscuit that’s in Atlanta? Because I adore the Atlanta ones. To-do list: get D1 interested in seeing Emory :)</p>
<p>missypie, a lot of shwarma in Israel has lettuce and fries added, too. Hummus and tahini instead of mayo works for me, but I don’t know if pastrami instead of grilled chicken/lamb/beef really is a good idea. Something else to add to my list of research projects. </p>
<p>Today’s Wall Street Journal had a bracket race between school mascots. I prefer the food face-off.</p>
<p>It was a mistake looking at this at lunchtime. Graeter’s ice cream is awesome- fantastic sundaes. Primanti Brothers is a Pittsburgh institution. Here in VA we have a local restaurant that tops salads with french fries- seems a bit odder to me than fries in the sandwich. </p>
<p>Better get back to the diet/health/wellness thread.</p>

<p>Not sure. The word on the streets of G’ville is that their biscuits are h e a v y. It’s also new to the town, so not exactly an established eatery with years of history behind it. It is also is nowhere near campus. Just not sure how it made the list.</p>

<p>Ok, sokkermom ~ I just sent your link to S and told him they have to try that out, lol!</p>
<p>My pick for Madison would be the Parthenon Gyros place on State Street. Now that was special. (Still is)</p>

<p>Ha! Just got a call from H. D1 was at Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse and called him to come pick her up (he was hanging out with his friends elsewhere). She said the line was too long, and it was too hot in there and she didn’t want to stick around with her friends (she’s fighting a cold, too). I told him to blame it on the article, and sent him (and her) the link.</p>
<p>Wisconsin (UW-Madison) has many possible places near campus- the pizza place they mention is well known. They should have gone with Babcock (the hall on the ag end of campus) ice cream at the Memorial Union for something made on campus…</p>
