Not at all, as it is Polish. The Polish delis in NW Chicago are insanely delicious.Took this pic at a Polish deli in Chicago in 2013:

That picture looks so strange. All these people looking depressed amidst a sea of delicious foods!

I have to drive in Atlanta a few times a year. Shit sucks. I always dread I-85 and its resident maniacs. Not to mention the sphagetti junction.

Fun times in the rain at night.
Yeah, I drive in it every day. That second picture you posted, the big one showing traffic on I-75/85, that photo is heading southbound right beneath a bridge for 10th street. I work in the big Turner complex just north of that.

Also Krispy Kreme 4 lyfe, bitches.

Krispy Kreme makes a better cake donut but Dunkin does a better crème filled donut.

Of course, Top Pot beats out both, but that's a local chain, not a national.

@ Luke, certain pockets in Texas are highly German, Polish, Czech in heritage such as Shiner, TX where Shiner Bock is brewed. These folks refer to those danish pastries as kolaches.

To the vast majority here, a kolache is a pig in a blanket :)

Jalepeno & cheese variety is my favorite

Well ya learn something new everyday. I had no idea that a kolache could be a pig in a blanket. They look delicious. Not sure if they could be better than a francheezie, but they do look good.

You guys get damn near pornographic about your food.

I'm just happy with red beans 'n' rice, but I'm a simple man.

Yessir. Very passionate about food as catering put me through undergrad and grad school. Knowing how to cook, and cook well, has made me save money, eat healthy, and also it gives me an excuse to ask my wife to wash the dishes ;)

I live in an area where most restaurants either stink or are incredible. For me, I need a really good reason to go out to eat, as I'm full on Scrooge when it comes to paying for cooked food.

Speaking of...

Frown: I lost a bet, and will now have to eat a Hungry Man dinner of the winner's choice. Dear God I'm hoping it's salisbury steak, which isn't too terrible.

I made the best last night when I was in an argument with a pal and said "Dude, if Kevin Love signs with the Cavs I'll...I'lll...I'll eat a Hungry Man dinner". I would get five bucks if Kevin didn't resign, but he did, so here I am. I can swallow my pride, but swallowing a tv dinner is something else.

That's the cost of always making silly bets with friends.

But at the same time, it's a silly thing to bet on and do, so we'll ending up laughing regardless of how bad the food is.
