Have you ever stood in a extremely long line for food? (barbeque, cookies)

I shake my head.

Whatev Branson, what-evs!!

Ive waited in extremely long lines for:

Pinks Hot Dogs - Hollywood
The Original Tommys - on Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles
The Pantry - Los Angeles
In-N-Out Burger - Everywhere. ALWAYS a long long line.
Porto's Bakery - Burbank

Every single one of these are worth the wait.

I'm talking about like how people stand in long lines at Magnolia Bakery.

How was your experience? Was it worth it? Would you do it again?

Maybe when I was young and foolish...but now the legs give out too easily.

Phils BBQ in San Diego...some of the worst BBQ I've ever had, and I have had a lot of BBQ.
Donut Bar in San Diego...pretty good donuts, but so overpriced that I'd never return.
Irene's Cuisine in New Orleans...waited 2+ hours for a table, worth every minute and then some. Irene's is the best restaurant in New Orleans based on my experiences living there for 3.5 years and visiting several other times.


And in NYC there may be lines for some bakeries, but the best Black & White cookies come from Orwasher's Bakery and I will never wait in a line in NYC for baked goods as long as Orwasher's continues to exist.

Back when the first one in the Bay Area opened in Milpitas, my friends and I would drive 45 minutes, wait another 30 to order, wait 30 to get our food and then drive back happy. Those were the days.

I've been in the Shake Shack line. The article exaggerates the wait at a few of the places, like Ippudo, Ike's and Salt and Straw.

Shake shack, many, many times. For me, the shack stack (and an order of the crinkle-cut cheese fries) are worth it, and I generally despise lines.

Free water ice at Rita's on the first day of spring.

LOL - I had to look that one up. I pictured a line of people waiting for free ice cubes on the first day of spring.

They call it water ice in south Jersey, too. First time I saw a sign for it I thought WTF?
