Man Cuba what? East coast Chinese Food is hell of a lot better than West Coast. We've got motherfucking Wo Hop in NYC. It's better than anything on the west coast. ANYTHING. Regardless of food genre, it's hands down the best food I have ever eaten, and it's open 24 hours a day.
Actually I noticed in Olympia that there is one chinese restaurant and it sucks a lot. _________________

it seems like the only west coast food you've experienced is from OLYMPIA and so your opinion doesnt count _________________

I've also experienced Seattle and hell of other small towns in Washington. I just doubt that a state can be so close to a culinary mecca and not have good food except for the rare exception. _________________

Oh okay, that's outside my range of experience.
I doubt there's any food as good as Wo Hop, though. That's simply beyond anyone's capabilities. _________________

I'm from Seattle. It's a culinary bore while LA is the best overall dining city I've been to (and I've been to NYC, London, Paris, and Tokyo). The difference is that Washington is very white, like Daphny says, whereas California is even more international than other very mixed areas like NYC.
Cuba everyone agrees the East Coast has better Phillies, us Californians just like to eat a decent one every now and then. |

You can't take diners away from the east coast. A nice greek-owned chrome plated diner is an experience unique to jersey and as far as I'm concerned not even neighbouring states have anything remotely like it.
EDIT: Also I'll have to try LA sometime then. _________________

hay guys what's going on
cleveland has mad grease love. And our 24 hour diners are the dope shit.
and mr. hero which is god's sub place, if god likes grease (protip:yup).
also i used to put ketchup on everything.
but sometimes, i discovered, thousand island dressing is good.
also, on a bratwurst, nothing beats cleveland stadium mustard. |

truckstop diners are far removed from your average greasy spoon
these spoons are the greasiest
in close proximity to farmland -- the last one i went to is on a farm outside of needles, ca -- you get the absolute best ingredients you're likely to eat anywhere |

I've eaten at an authentic railcar diner.
It's not a real diner unless everything you order comes with a pickle and some coleslaw, neither of which you eat. _________________

But yeah most Jersey diners are on like the border of what used to be farmland (come to think of it I should've eaten at that diner by where I grew up back when it was still a farm-town; it was probably awesome.) _________________

Tulpa doesn't know anything about food outside of New Jersey and New York apparently
There's plenty of awesome diners everywhere. Diners are easy. There was a fucking awesome diner in Marietta, GA owned by a bunch of greeks.
New York has good food, but so does the Bay Area. I mean they're pretty much equivalent as far as food quality goes really. |

| Also I get fries when I go get cheesesteaks at Amato's because there's no fucking way I'm eating a whole one of those. They're too fucking big. I eat half of it and some fries and then I take the rest of it home and eat it later. |

Man the Diners in other states aren't bad but they are very different. It's not just the food that matters, it's the atmosphere. Sure you can get a passable burger with good fries anywhere. But I doubt you have that particular atmosphere of a chromeplated railcar diner sitting half empty off the freeway. Where is the jukebox? Where is the TV playing closed captioned news. Where are the waiters forgetting you're there and going home for the night because you just spent 4 hours eating food? _________________

I think so too. I need to eat in LA eventually. I can live without having good bagels or pizza if all the other food was good. Washington is a shitty state for people that like food. _________________

Yeah probably. I totally forgot what a foodie place New Orleans is supposed to be.
I also kind of regret never eating in the Haitian part of town in Irvington. There was this awesome restaurant named simply "Jambalaya" that I was always tempted to eat at. But apparently there was a shooting there and the place closed down permanently. _________________

This is something that as far as I can tell is ABSOLUTELY exclusive to New Jersey. Ever since I've eaten a Jersey Bagel everything else is basically not even a bagel. It's really depressing. There was even this jewish bagel place in Atlanta that was good, but still not even remotely close to real Jersey bagels. |

jersey diners are definitely their own thing, i don't think the food is any better necessarily, they're just unique atmospherically.

it's frenchtoast with a cream cheese/marmalade combination inbetween.
it is the most fucking delicious thing i've ever had for breakfast. i imagine it could be too sweet for some, but i think it tasted amazing. |
