...or cares about, for that matter.

I choose "Best Chicken", a little Greek place on State Street.

well, JEffe's heard of 'em, but Crunch Records in Greensboro, NC. Elitest snob employees, like you'd expect at a used record store but oh so easy to get to from campus and with a pretty decent selection. I've bought a lot of stuff from there.

you mean crunchy... gotta admire a record store that has A. Boxes of Cereal
B. A vinyl copy of Skankin Pickles Green album C. Old videogames D. Skate stuff and D. Snooty music store guys...

Now give me my crunch berries!!!!



Oh and my obscure place is an island, Bonaire, with its tiny population, and its sports-bar and two discotheques  with a big screen TV right over the Caribbean (its a Pier) and its scraggly looking flamingo's. And at least the native dutch there don't hate Americans. Plus everyones pretty much wealthy there. (thanks to the oil refineries)  Oh and its 95 degrees there in the middle of January.  And finally the diving, and snorkeling are great!

Pagoda. It's a very nice (and the only very nice) Chinese Restaurant in the Fairbanks area. It's actually in North Pole, but the food there is fantastic. I wish I could just transplant it to Provo.

Cambria, CA. It's a little seaside town on the central coast, that is leaning toward tourist-trap, but I've been visiting ever since I was a baby. It's peaceful there.

On another forum I would say Yamato's, a great Japanese restaurant with good suishi in Orem, but I know other members of this board have heard of it.

Jim's restaraunt in Bahrain.

It's a restaraunt/bar run by a guy named Jim oddly enough.  He's an Irish expat.  Some of the best food I have ever tasted.

Prominently displayed in the front window is a sign reading  "No Arabs Allowed"  I found that amusing considering where Bahrain is.

(Actually, now that I think about it, Mad Dr. Jeff may know this one.  Do you?)

I want some Singapore Chow Mei Fun from the chinese fast food place on St. Nicholas Ave. right north of 180th St. in Manhattan. I used to get that every Saturday night and eat it over the weekend. So good...

Mr T's in Virginia Beach VA (If it still exists)
Plywood floor (Better for cleaning blood and teeth) Biker-Bar that serves amazing Burritos the size of a serving platter

Behind the Bar (You have to ask for it, and only get it if they like you) is a Carrot Juice based Hot sauce that'll make any fire-eater tear up with delight/pain yet keeps it's flavor through the heat!  (Unlike vinegar based sauces)
Burrito the size of a platter... 4 drops from the sauce... THAT IS ALL YOU DARE!
Alles!!!

No, I love this web site. I'm just sharing my fantasies with you guys. This would be my favorite obscure place. I want to go exploring it. There is so much void and that you don't know about the universe. Yet, how can you find this out when you are not even familiar with yourself?

Yeah, that was a tad explicit for this site, so I removed it. Swearing isn't liked here, crap is ok, what you said is even pushing it a little.
