Kant Find the Chicken?Bars aren't really my scene, but there's a chicken joint I really like on the North Side. It's called KFC.

If you are looking for Chicken and up near Oswego...check out Dan's Chicken Shack in Texas, NY (just north of Mexico)Bars aren't really my scene, but there's a chicken joint I really like on the North Side. It's called KFC.
Ok...you guys realize what my hidden agenda was?

I would have to see that done before I could believe it. An elephant would have trouble beating that.I was there last month, and the record was 17.74 seconds.
Any of the new restaurants out by Costco worth mentioning?
Clarks is a shell of it's former self. It's not really in Armory anymore but rather on the outskirts. The roast beef was a disappointment. The meat was too rare and actually mushy, I don't know what they did with the old horseradish but the new stuff tastes like something between Kraft and Zatarans. The old stuff used to make me cry just smelling it. I was literally spreading it on my sandwich like mayo just to taste it. Sure it's great having all those beers on tap but it's not 1998 anymore, everyone has 15+ beers on tap now.Let's keep it to the last few years.
I'll open up with something new that is something old
Clark's will be on my list to visit this summer. Where else can you get a $1.50 Genny Cream Ale? 35 taps and that Roast Beef Sandwich.
How does the new roll compare to the old one?

So what else is out there downtown, Armory, Wescott, Destiny, the Burbs?
Hey Mark, not sure if you have it in your guide, but "Darwin on Clinton" is a great sandwich shop. It has a rotating menu and every sandwich I've tried has been fantastic. I'm pretty sure the owner runs another restaurant in town. Darwin's is only open for lunch I believe, but it was one of my go-to stops while interning downtown the past two summers. Their Buffalo Mac & Cheese is also fantastic. A lot of the food is locally sourced; the bread comes from Pasta's bakery along with Di Lauros.

Edit: It is a small little place with limited inside seating but there are some tables and a little area to eat outside if necessary.
Hey Mark, will your 2016 guide include all the ACC cities?Ok...you guys realize what my hidden agenda was?

Too busy this year...I hope to get Cuse and all our ACC Road Trip cities done.Hey Mark, will your 2016 guide include all the ACC cities?
Yup. I saw the video last week. 17 seconds. Almost fictional for 2 liters!! I've been there 3 different times for Friends birthdays and the free boot of beer. It gets a little warm towards the end. Great place.
It was on the bartender's iPhone at the Biergarten.I've gotta see this. I tried googling and can't seem to find it. Any chance you could link me to it? Thanks.

Yeah Ive stopped out there several times when headed out that way for work meetings. Definately more options since T5 opened. My report for that area.TexanMark said:Any of the new restaurants out by Costco worth mentioning?
You are SPOT ON with both Mesa grande and wildcat. Very good Mexican and pizza respectively.Yeah Ive stopped out there several times when headed out that way for work meetings. Definately more options since T5 opened. My report for that area.
Winner so far is definately Mesa Grande mexican in that T5 complex sounds like a big chain but its a locally owned place with 3 loc total. Tried it and asked some questions: they fresh prep all sauces and toppings and in house smoke, roast and grill the meat for their burritos and tacos, yes smoked. Casual counter service burrito shop setup, big tables, not surprisingly, for open seating . Worth a Stop.
Unsolicited Burrito Review: Mesa is head and shoulders above chains like Moes and is def above chipotle. My opinion so far locally it comes in just below Otro Cinco, and Above Alto (iknow). Which if no one mentioned in this thread Alto Cinco opened another shop downtown on Warren St (otro = other) different menu txmex instead of Calimex approach. Mighty Taco is deceptively good but be ready it is kinda like the best taco bell style mex not next gen Mexican burrito shops but instead good fast food.
Mo's pit BBQ mentioned by others near by to T5 is definately worth a try, small zero frills place, but super nice people and good food, I like their BBQ Sandwiches, one comes with fries on it like a Pittsburgh horseshoe.
In T5 The Bistro was good food upscale bar setting, more sit down than take out. Had just opened Next to BuffWW.
In T5 The Habachi grill Japanesee was good the time I had it seemed like a nice well decorated spot maybe a date night spot with sushi chefs working away, seemed good sized. Sushi and cooked Japaneese food for those not ready for sushi. Only had it once got a variety box, wasn't NYC sushi, but Sushi and Katsu pork Curry were tasty, has a lunch menu also which they can prep for takeout but not their primary approach.
Krabby Kirk's village of camillus pretty good food, BBQ and some different menu options good bar/sitdown.
Wildcat Pizza of Trappers local chain is nearby in the home depot plaza has good pizza and a variety of sandwiches.
I still dream about Butch's Pizza in the Wescott area. I am probably dating myself, but does anyone else remember Butch's? Great crust, good toppings, and sauce with a bit of a kick.Westcott Street, hadn't thought about that neighborhood in awhile. Many a happy hour at the Orange Grove/East LA back in the day. Looks like it's a diner now.
