The Best of Food - Informal poll

Jun 23, 2004

I was just reading Cybersane's blog and she mentioned that the Big Meadows camp store in Shenandoah National Park is famous for its delicious blackberry milkshakes. It was then I hit upon a not so new idea, one that the local and national magazines seize upon whenever they want to generate free content. A poll of their readers for the best single food items or food categories across the nation. You're all well traveled folks who like to eat, so this should be a wonderful list. So here it is, my first annual summer time food poll.

Where do you get great summer time food? I'll start with 3 of my favorites:

•  Thick-thick blackberry milkshakes: The Soda Fountain on Glades Road in Gatlinburg, TN
•  The best baked beans: Bubbalou's Bodacious BBQ, Lee Road, Winter Park, FL -- And the Pulled Pork Sandwiches aren't bad either!
•  Muffulettas: Central Grocery, New Orleans, LA

Let the salivating begin!
