Trying to make something more of it says more about you than it does about the people who like Sonic.

Wow, that's NOT a narrow-minded generalization

I'm so glad you choose to grace us with your wisdom here on CD while you wait for your Mensa membership to arrive.

I can see you are a true fine diner. You know that hot dogs are bad for you...and that alfalfa sprouts, locally grown of course, and tofu are just what everyone craves.
I'll gladly keep Mastic and Shirley, you can keep North amityville, farmingville, north bayshore, bellport, brentwood, CI, copaige, freeport, Roosevelt, hempstead, uniondale, new cassel, elmont, (i can go on if you'd like) plus all of queens and brooklyn thats a fair trade.
I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you and I do not enjoy the same (fine) dining establishments, although I'd honestly LOVE to know how you can see that about me. Let's play a little game shall we? List the last five fine dining experiences you had and I will too and we can compare.

Daniel, East 65th, NYC two weeks ago-happens to be on the newest list of the worlds best restaurants, albeit down three spots from last year
Jojo east64th NYC for my birthday
Luce and Hawkins, jamesport
Pierre's, bridgehampton
BLT Steak, east 57th, NYC

Oddly, I do not remember eating alfalfa sprouts or hot dogs at any of these establishments.
Your turn

It's almost impossible to find great food anywhere on this island, but yet in manhattan it's abundant.
I happen to agree with the OP, most of LI is barfworthy. And frankly the petty, juvenile topics started on this forum to bash other active users are a true telling of the mentality of LIers. It gives people a venue to say what they are really thinking. It's interesting to visit other cd forums and observe how much happier and kindhearted those users are.
Wow, you're exactly what you're bashing....

If people get excited by Sonic and wait 5 hours.....it does say something about your culinary choices....I'm just sayin
Are you really this illogical in real life, or just pretend to be an idiot on the Internet?

Why all the bitterness? No one here is telling anyone else where to eat or inviting anyone else to dine with them (thank goodness). Some people like Manhattan, some people like Nassau, some people like out east. So what? Seriously. What's the big deal?

Everyone can act all tough and/or trollish when they're hiding behind the anonymity of a screen name, I guess.

You bet your tush I can. I've got all kinds of really big things going on behind this keyboard.

You can play the fine dining game with us if you'd like Gonphishn, but remember the number one rule-just because you leave with a paper crown that says King on it, it doesn't make it fine dining.
