Add on:
Burgers come on homemade sourdough buns that come close to ten inches across. Might just have to make a run over to Shreveport this weekend.

Have you ever ate at Podnuh's near the airport? I was there for training and it was awsome.

I have been to most of the Podnuh's in Shreveport. By any chance did you try one of the Bodacious Barbeques in town? One out on Barksdale Rd. not far form Barsdale AFB is popular for its Botatoe. Another good one for Cajun style food in Shreveport is Savoies. Blackened Gator, Crawfish etouffee, Jumbalaya or boiled Crawfish if in season.

It's nice that you can eat out and collect diecast.
I make it to the local MacDonalds, that only happens on a week when I have not bought any airplanes of course.
I don't remember when I last ate at Micky D's.

I travel quite a bit and the highlight of my trip is usually when someone local takes you to a local gem be it a greasy spoon or fine dining.

Tops of my travels (in no certain order)

• Highlands Bar & Grill - Birmingham, AL
  This is a finer dining establishment than most on this list. While pricey the food, service, and overall experience was outstanding.
  
  
• Stroud's - Kansas City, MO
  The best pan-fried chicken that I've ever had. Everything is served family style. Impossible to leave hungry. The only problem with this place is the wait for a table.
  
  
• Babe's Chicken Dinner House - Roanoke, Texas
  They have a location here in Carrollton, but the original is the best. If you love fried chicken you'll love Babe's.
  
  
• Peter Luger Steakhouse - Brooklyn, NY
  I live in the heart of cow country but the best steak that I've ever had was in Brooklyn. If your ever in NYC you have to try this place. As you can imagine, it's not cheap, but it will be one of the best meals that you've ever had.
  
  
• Carson's - (downtown) Chicago, IL
  Probably the best BBQ Ribs that I've ever had, and I'm a self proclaimed BBQ connoisseur.
  
  
• Superdawg Drive-In - Chicago, IL
  I love Chicago style, NY Style, Vendor style, or what ever you want to call these decked out style of hot dogs. Order the Superdawg.
  
  - Nathan's "Slaw dog" comes in close at second place, and you can make them at home.
