Portillos Italian Beef with extra peppers and lots of ketchup! Deep Dish, not stuffed pizza, the way Ginos East makes it. Caramel Corn from Garretts!

You can tell I'm on a diet, because I'm thinking about all this yummy food I can't have right now!

I just had an Al's Italian Beef dipped for lunch today. There's no better sandwich on Earth!

I'm also a big pizza guy, so I'll go with Lou Malnati's for deep dish and Aurelio's for thin.

The above with a good deep dish pizza!
All I get in Georgia is sweet tea and fried whatever.

Portillo's Italian Beef w/hot peppers.

And, that Garrett Popcorn "mix". Who knew cheese and caramel corn worked so well together?

I am a Texan and dearly miss Tex-Mex, but have enjoyed these discoveries!

I think the thing I like best here is the thai and the chinese. We just have astounding southeast Asian cuisine, the best I've had anywhere in the country. We also have some great South American cuisine that I just can't find anywhere else.
Move to Toronto then.

Indeed, I can only imagine what the restaurant scene is like there. I'd like to personally found out, sooner rather than later hopefully.
