Best meal

[GooseMutt]

You ever had in Syracuse?

If you were able to take a recruit out for a meal where would it be?

I have no idea but I will go there!

Enough Heids coneys to down a full grown horse

I’d drive them to Buffalo and find them something there. It’s remarkable to me how much better the food is here compared to Syracuse with them being so close and similar in many ways.

I don’t know what to hat means

The Roasted Duck at Lemongrass stands out as one of the better ones I’ve had.

Dinosaur BBQ for the Original BBQ pork Sandwhich or the BBS Brisket sandwich with a local draft beer.

while I agree, this post will not go over well here. We'll get at least one "Shifty's [or insert comparable mediocre Syracuse wing joint] wings are da best" reply.

As far as Syracuse cuisine, I've had great meals at Arad Evans Inn, Joey's and a little family-style Italian restaurant, the name of which I can't remember. I believe it's closed now. Can't go wrong with Dino BBQ or Blue Tusk for more informal experiences

This. Plus plenty of cornbread!

Arad is nice, went there years back. It reminded me next door, Craftsman Inn, I went the first time for Valentine’s Day back in 2018 and was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I figured it was busy and they were understaffed so tried again last October, while it wasn’t a bad experience the food wasn’t that great for the price.

Craftsman’s food leaves a lot to be desired.

How about a huge tender steak

One of my favorite meals in Syracuse is the “Chicken Trio” at Carabbas. The “Johnny“ at Carabbas is also great.

Grimaldi’s, and we were sitting at the very next table over from JB, Dick Vitale and the SU coaching staff. Food was fantastic and eavesdropping on the conversation(after meeting Dickie V in the parking lot on the way in) was even better! Too bad we had to pay, non-athlete and all.

Very cool

When we moved away from Syracuse in 1978, we had Varsity Pizza as our last meal. Whenever I returned to town in years since, I always went to the Varsity.

There used to be a big Italian place in Liverpool called Tonino's(???). Huge menu, and everything was very good, IMO.

Always liked Walter White's also.

I love their pizza so much

Strada Mia’s underrated.

 

[CuseFTW]

Bring them to Utica

Just did a quick search - Tonino's Trattoria on Oswego Rd. in Liverpool. Not there anymore, I believe.

Some of the best restaurants I patronized when I lived in 'Cuse are closed: Grimaldi's, Jonathan's Seafood, The Concord and Valli's- all on Erie Blvd. When visiting I liked Rico's and even it's shuttered.

How about Inn of the Season's on Onondaga Hill. My family had Thanksgiving there in the late 70's, early 80's when it was known as Gen. Hutchinson's House near OCC. Fine dining in an historic atmosphere. More for the recruits parents then perhaps the recruit.
