What's the best place to eat, or top cuisine in your hometown - or at least where you now live.

Seeing my town is tiny the only place is probably the elementary schools cafeteria food other than that the only famous thing is Alex Preston from this seasons American Idol and I believe our shitty general store made a sandwich in his name.

Actually, down the road in Truckee there are at least two spots that are must-eats

the Durka Durka at Full Belly Deli



And the other is the famed Tacos Jalisco

I live in Sacramento now, and far and away the food it's best known for is Vietnamese...

We have a "Little Saigon" in town, which is basically just like the real Saigon used to be - Ghetto as fuck.





There's at least 150 Vietnamese spots in town - seemingly, and at least 20-30 or so pretty much all equally the same amazingness sitting at the top of the yelp charts. pho-ck yea.

J.D.Steak, motherfuckers.



This.

Fun fact. I live in the city with the second largest cattle processing plant in Canada and it's the same one that caused the huge beef recall because of e-coli back in 2012. It smells awful most of the time.

Space cake.

You can get it in about ~300 places in Amsterdam; doesn't really matter, because it's gonna get you fucked up anyway.
