I am with you on Portillos. I loved that place when I was a student at the Moody Bible Institute. We didn't go a lot because I was a father of three (had a fourth while there. I told the President of the school Dr. Joe Stowell when he congratulated me that I probably should have been studying) going to school. But when we had money it was Portillos or Giordanos Pizza.
Disappointed in you. I thought for sure we’d get a pic of the dream team tailgate tent

Possum inards and collard greens? They are better the next day.Would you settle for going to the tailgate?
There is a breakfast/brunch place called Yolk we like. Everything I've tried has been good.
First time I went was in Chicago but they've expanded to Indy.

What is your choice? Volcano for me Goshen has a cpl pretty good places too
British food in Gas City? Does surprise me, is there actually something in Topeka or just a throw out name?
Just a throw out name. I think all I have had from there is fast food on trips to/from Colorado.
Oh you meant Kansas. I was trying figure out what food could be in Topkea IN worth mentioning
I havent eaten there in years, Essenhaus isn't really that good in my opinion anymore. Breakfast is best with their beef gravy made from the night before pot roast. Honestly you can get better chicken from a gas station.Looks a lot like this place:

Frisch's is the best tartar sauce in my opinionNat Comisar claims Frisch’s has the best tartar sauce (see link). Is Nat the “next generation” you were referring to? LOL

I agree on steakhouses. Especially in summer, doing a steak on the grill is one of the easiest things to cook and cleanup. I might not get it quite as good, but I'd rather get something that requires a lot more pans and work and an actual recipe if I'm paying for it.
Volcano is the best pizza period. Michael's. Columbo. There's so many. I wish falcones was still around and Nicky ds
Volcano is my favorite and closest to me. Volcano is different vs being a better or less version of the same basic thing which are still good.

Nicky D's!!!!! My man!!
I ate all these pizzas growing up. I agree Elkhart has the best pizza in Indiana, and better than any place I've lived or visited outside Chicago. Ever had Bruno's on the west side right off SR 19?

When I visited Elkhart to be with a church member in the hospital Bill's BBQ was really good. It was in an old Long John Silvers. Very tasty.
Gropps Famous Fish of Stroh used to be really good
Yes bomb. Love all that. Too bad so many closed. I loved Luccheses too. Still a great town for pizza though. Never knew you were from around there?

Any Indiana pizza restaurant list that doesn't include New Bethel Ordinary or The Willard is not worth reading.
So now, this one is.
When it comes to steak I think it all starts with what you buy. You buy a crap steak you get a crap steak. Go to a farmers market and find someone selling beef or pork or whatever.
I bought some chicken breasts the other day from a butcher up in noblesville who buys from a farmer. They were 1/3 the size of chicken breasts I've bought anywhere else. All these places that say no steroids all natural, bs. This was the real deal.
The other meat is ground beef. You start cooking ground beef from any store and it doesn't smell good. You go to a farmers market, night and day different. It smells wonderful.
Wilson's is up 31 and they have damn good meat. The butcher up in noblesville is killer too.
It closed. It was up in Mottville Michigan. Always a line out the door. Coldest beer I've ever had too. Un real.
Lucy u have not lived. I'll buy your volcano pizza if you drive up and get one.
So you’re saying Penguin point has a volcano pizza?
It is the biggest factor, Meijer has really good beef for a chain store. I can't even imagine buying meat at Kroger or Walmart . I have a couple local butchers too I haven't really used , Martin's Wakarusa is good . I have had such good luck with Meijer I don't really go anywhere else.
To me the difference on great steak it can only get so much better unless you totally mutilate it. When eating out I like things that are a lot harder to do on my own . Summertime, throw a few ears of corn on the grill and steam fresh in season asparagus or green beans , new potatoes is pretty simple and I am pretty good at. Anything baked beyond meatloaf no . One of my favorite movies lines from Father Goose with Cary Grant, Leslie Caron says I have an infuriating lack of talent for doing simple things...........Probably because you dont do them right.
They are both my favorites, different . Volcano is a few miles away, too far for delivery but close. Pizza King is 25 miles away so more of a treat. If I am close by I get a 16'' Royal Feast and it does warm up well. Volcano sandwiches are great too.
St. Louis is the worst pizza town in America. Provel Frankenstein cheese is a pillowy gack I can’t explain. Evansville tavern pizza is only slightly less gross because it doesn’t use Provel. Yeeeckkkk.
I liked Jack Browns before they started being a franchise. The Cobra Kai burger was legit.
Which one? Two different pizza king entity’s. The western one is the best. The one down here is trash.
