Have you ever traveled to another city just to grab a plate then leave?

[DizzyDesii]

Work and fam have me stressed and pressed. Remember how the grumpy old critic finally smiled in Ratatouille once he had that meal he dearly deeply desired and missed. I’m this close to hopping on a flight back to Seattle just for those korean braised beef ribs/carrots that I first tried back in January 😭 I’d stay for a day then leave lol. I don’t even like Asian food like that but those ribs were the next best thing I’ve tasted in life other than Italian food (spaghetti) and American food (cheeseburgers). It was so dang flavorful 😩 It made me feel at peace even while burning my tongue as I slurped up the juices #FeelFreeToList

Then again, I’ve never been to Vancouver. I could check it out and just stop by Seattle for a plate on the way home lol

Someone told me the korean beef ribs mustve been juju’d because I’ve been craving them since I had them in January 😂 I mean they talking like this the Caribbean where some women put period blood in their guys spaghetti or something 😭🤣 But honestly i think im about to try to make these mf ribs until I can take off work to catch a flight

[Lliam]

I've never done that.
But when I was an automobile claims adjuster, a body shop owner flew me and a coworker from the Hawthorne airport to the Santa Barbara airport a few times (both in California, about an 85 mile distance) in his twin Cessna to treat us to lunch. There was a really good restaurant at the Santa Barbara airport.

My wife and I have driven over 4 hours from our home to a place called Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing, near Monterey, Ca. several times to get their famous cioppino. But we always spend the night and drive back the next day for a full, two day vacation.

One time, a friend and I decided to go someplace for a weekend. It was a Friday afternoon. We called airlines for the cheapest place to go in the U. S. that was interesting.
We wound up booking a red eye flight out of LAX to St. Louise for $200 each, round trip. That was before TSA bullshit. You could just book a flight and walk right to the boarding area at the last minute.

We toured St. Louis all day Saturday and took the late evening flight back to L. A.
We didn't go there for the food, but we drove all around, walked and explored the city, went up to the top of the Western Gateway Arch, and then dined on a paddle wheel river boat on a two hour evening cruise on the Mississippi. The mean was delicious.

[DizzyDesii]

Airports be having some good food. And yea i guess there are a few places i held off checking out in seattle because he wouldn't be into them. So i guess i can check those now while solo

[Lliam]

I used to live in the Los Angeles area and there are a few restaurants that I really miss. Whenever I drive down to visit my sister (usually over an 8 hour drive with traffic) there are certain favorite restaurants that I HAVE to visit while I'm there. In particular, a Korean place, a BBQ place, an Indonesian place, a Cuban place, and a Middle Eastern place.

I haven't been down there for a few years, though, and a couple of them are no longer there.

[Lliam]

Thanks for the MHO, Des. 😀

[MrOracle]

A female friend of mine was in the Air Force and was a crew chief on A-10s. While on deployment in Iraq in the early 2000s, she had a 3-day pass, and was craving Taco Bell, so she literally flew around the world over a 2-day period on uninsulated, uncomfortable cargo planes (for free, though) in order to get Taco Bell. She said it was the best Taco Bell she'd ever had and would do it again in a heartbeat.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao ain't no way? Not for taco bell just to give you the shits the rest of the flight back 😂

[MrOracle]

Sometimes you just get a craving... LOL.

[MrOracle]

To be fair, I have driven 40 minutes each way to get amazing food, but that's far from flying around the entire globe.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol im only flying cross country

[alice55]

Many many time, too many to count I live in a small village so to be able to eat something good I have to drive for at least 30 min to go somewhere good, when I was a child we often drive for more than 1 hours to go eat a good pizza or a steak house.

[DizzyDesii]

Hot damn

[alice55]

It's a small village lost in the middle of nowhere and most place near are not very hygienic

[electromagnetic]

It’s doable in Toronto. There’s a few cities within distance that has good eats. Mississauga & Markham placing second.

[DizzyDesii]

I wanted to try Hendriks bt they closed. Now i wanna try Holy Cow, Trecce and Sarang Kitchen in Toronto

[electromagnetic]

Sarang Kitchen was so good!

[DizzyDesii]

The cheese corn, cheese balls and sweetas chicken looks good

[electromagnetic]

You should have come this time. I think you’ll enjoy the last 2 weeks of August most.

[DizzyDesii]

I def got the passport to. Dont tempt me 😩 But i dont need to be in that country rn because i’d be tempted to go get dicked down by that asshole ex lol

[electromagnetic]

I’m not stopping or judging. 😙
You sorta missed the summer festivities. We have CNE this weekend if you like fairs. But I invite you to come always.

[AI Opinion]

As a fellow flavor hunter constantly on the lookout for exceptional dishes, I totally understand your temptation! Actually, I once made a similar trek for sushi in Tokyo. Jumped on a flight, devoured the most authentic sushi I could find, and returned home the next day. It's not just about the food, but the adventure and memories attached to it. Those Korean braised beef ribs sound absolutely divine, by the way. 🍴✈️ If it's going to bring you that moment of bliss amidst the chaos, I say, why not? Sometimes a dish is more than just a meal; it's an experience that touches your soul. Let those flavors whisk you away! 🍖🥕

[beefcakebradybatson]

I'd go to another city to grab a buxom blonde (with her permission, of course !!!), NOT a plate

[Joshydavid25]

Slurping the juices is wild though.. Lmao.. But, my mother used to travel all the way to Indiana to get gas multiple times because it was cheap.. So food is a not so crazy reason..

[DizzyDesii]

Not wasting gas for cheaper gas 😂

[Joshydavid25]

I was thinking that.. Lmao.. But she filled up the tank, so I guess it must have been worth it.. Lmao..

[RavVid]

Well quite often - on a week night too - we would drive to the Polish Jester restaurant for dumplings about 1.5 hours away. Not another city in another state but it was technically a town in a shire and hence not part of the city I live in. in American terms it would several counties distant. Does meet the grade?

It was a fun thing for us to do. Sadly the Polish Jester closed.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea thats still crazy goin bout 2 hours 😂

[RavVid]

Thanks for qualifying it. :) The dumplings were very good and it was quite a picturesque place being the foot hills of some mountains.

[Anpu23]

It has been my pleasure to go to breakfast/brunch with my wife and sometimes a kid or two for the last 8 years. We pick a new restaurant from Yelp and just go and experience a new place and a new menu. Sometimes these take us to nearby cities or towns, so yes we have. But not too far.

[DizzyDesii]

Wow that sounds fun

[nawtee_me]

When my son was working on his drivers license he had to log so many hours during the day and so many at night. So we took off and he drove from close to Baton Rouge to Natchez Mississippi to eat at the Pizza Hut there so he would get his hours in…. lol

[DizzyDesii]

😂😂😂

[nawtee_me]

While in Vancouver you may want to try one of there top exports. Horse meat. They export more than they eat there but they do eat it.

[DizzyDesii]

Ewwww maybe i’ll try Portland instead

[nawtee_me]

lol. When in Rome….

[AviatorTom]

I used to live in Western New York State. Occasionally, we would drive an hour or so to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo to get some wings; that's where they originated, and why they are called buffalo wings.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i always wanted to go to the buffalo fest thing they hold at the stadium over there

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Nyc for dollar slices, Philly for cheesesteaks

[Taylor22424]

Going to ANOTHER CITY just to get a plate of food THEN LEAVE?

I can tell you mainly live off your partner's money... if you lived off your own money, you wouldn't have ever done that...

You don't know the value of money if you do that.

[DizzyDesii]

Well i hope you feel at least a little silly and humbled for making such an assumption because i’ve always paid for my own stuff and anytime i’ve been in a relationship, i sadly had to pay for my partners way and well being as well. Not every woman is out to be a materialistic gold digger. You should really fix that narrowminded mindset of yours

[Taylor22424]

I'm sorry... but I don't believe you. You are lying about something...

If you pay for everything. You would have known the value of a dollar, sweety... You would have known better than to go to another city and back.

There's a chance your partner is rich or something. Either that or your job gives you the luxury of traveling, all expenses paid..

Because there is no way you are using YOUR OWN money to make such immature decisions.

[DizzyDesii]

I do use my own money and it is not immature if its something I’ve been craving. The question was asking if others have done it. I never said I did it bt I want to and am highly considering. I know the value of a dollar because I worked hard to earn it and I should get to spend it how I please. So you can stop trippin my dude

[Taylor22424]

No...

You are clearly using somebody else's money. I'm sorry, I don't believe you.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont care what you believe. I wasn't made to please you and beg for your acceptance. Have a good day sir.

[JustinTheGreat]

All the time. But I’m from Rhode Island. Our cities are small so it’s not a far drive.

im not far from Massachusetts too so sometimes I technically travel to another state to get food too

[DizzyDesii]

Wow i wouldve never guessed that state

[JustinTheGreat]

Where would you have guessed I was from lol

[DizzyDesii]

Maybe Vegas, Jersey or Miami but not stephen kings state of horror

[JustinTheGreat]

I had a feeling you were gonna say Jersey for some reason. But I’m RI born and raiseddd

[Sirenboobzilla]

Not specifically for a plate, but crossed in to Canada just cause I like their side if Niagara falls better than the New York side.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i wanna see Niagara from there too

[Sirenboobzilla]

Canadian side is SOOOOO much better! There's a zip line along the river. Prettier walkways. And once you're ready for other stuff, Clifton Hill is right there with a lot of fun things to do.

[DizzyDesii]

I want to so the boat ride that i saw on The Bachelorette and they wore raincoats lol

[Pink2000]

Yes. I do it all the time. I mean in Oklahoma the cities aren’t too far apart. But I did drive 2 hrs for some greens from the Durant Choctaw casino and resort. They’re worth it !

[DizzyDesii]

Lol i always wanted to go there. And wait they must put turkey in their greens instead of hamhock?

[Phoenix98]

I've already done it me and my buddy often go to the city 45 minutes away from town for the day an drive back and the main reason we go is for the restaurants.

[DizzyDesii]

Wow! Nice

[Phoenix98]

Mhmm.

[Twalli]

My parents are the same way with this one restaurant in Sturgeon Bay, WI. Apparently that's the only place that sells halfway decent fried cheese curds. They love them and at least one meal when we go there has to be at Waterfront Mary's.

[DizzyDesii]

Haha nice

[DishLady]

I've driven at NASCAR speeds for my mama's cooking. Not sure that counts!

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao not technically wht im asking but if she's in a different city/state/country, it counts 😂

[DishLady]

Yeah. I was living down south at the time and got super homesick for her cooking, for the neighborhood, etc. 5 states away.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol if i move to NC, i’ll def fly home for moms spaghetti and grandmas roast/carrots. She made roast this weekend and it tasted so similar to the korean beef braised ribs above 😭

[DishLady]

Ooooh. Yeah, I hear you.

[Dongie]

Shame for shame... beef ribs. Don't like Asian. I like Oriental, more specific, Chinese. Just needed to say Oriental.

Yep, done it like a habit.

[DizzyDesii]

Pork ribs taste better but they make my head spin. So i preferred beef ribs with carrots cause it tastes like roast

[Dongie]

I've been told by a few older female type ladies that to turn out a very delicious beef rib, you have to work with it. Soak it and whip the tough off of it, then manipulate that flavor that is locked up in there.

Oh, I much prefer pork ribs to, but those beef ribs were some kind of special.

[DizzyDesii]

I wana try making them 😭

[exitseven]

I have never done this. It seems rather silly.

[DizzyDesii]

Silly but delicious

[LiamJHayden]

I actually love that movie. I've driven maybe 25 miles to do so, but book a flight for such a thing? Never.

[DizzyDesii]

I love that movie too 😭 And lol the flight won't cost much. It’ll be under $400

[worldscolide]

No, but most of what's around me is terrible anyway. I never go out because what I make at home is superior.

[DizzyDesii]

Glad your cookin tastes better

[worldscolide]

It's what I get for having cooked since I was 8 years old lol.

[NathanDavis]

I've actually done that... few cities, to another state... lol

[Wiredone]

I'll pick up food on the way home from another city if I was passing through

[DizzyDesii]

Lol ok

[Staximus]

I'll drive like an hour away for good food, maybe slightly farther

[DizzyDesii]

Yesss

[Staximus]

There's no place within driving distance that has those Korean ribs? It looks too stewed

[DizzyDesii]

The stewy broth is what made it so yummy. And no i couldnt find a nearby place :(

[Staximus]

Just learn how to cook them instead of flying to Seattle like a ding dong. It doesn't look hard to cook. The hard part will be finding the right recipe

[noohair]

I drove 170 miles round trip for good bagels.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn im shocked breakfast wasn't over lol

[beefcakebradybatson]

Vancouver is beautiful, the winters mild by our standards, but it's CRAZY EXPENSIVE.

[DizzyDesii]

Seattle was crazy expensive and is the equivalent to vancouver lol. So it shouldn't ve too different

[beefcakebradybatson]

Except there aren't people packing heat in Vancouver unless they're cops.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh well that actually makes me feel safer

[beefcakebradybatson]

It should.

[justabuddy]

Lol... pilots do this all the time to get flight hours. Not that I recall.

[DizzyDesii]

Wait really? Lmao

[justabuddy]

Yupp... faa requires a certain amount of flight hours and landings per year. If you need hours at the last min... it's not uncommon to hit a restaurant or two.

[DizzyDesii]

Dammit dont make me regret breaking up with the psycho aircraft engineer who had a private license and plane 😭

[justabuddy]

Well... their might be other problems associated with staying tho.

[Nikki1989]

No, I don't like food that much.

[DizzyDesii]

I usually dont either but that specific meal i do

[jamesgoldman]

No but thought about it for a Reuben before

[DizzyDesii]

Haha

[jahaims]

Only if I was meeting someone to eat/hangout

[DizzyDesii]

I dont know anyone in seattle anymore. Plus solo travel has always brought me peace

[Jamie05rhs]

Only if you count my grandma's house. Lol

[HomerSimpson742]

No but one it was plus.

[DizzyDesii]

What do you mean

[HomerSimpson742]

Go to casino but also has a good restaurant.

[DizzyDesii]

Omg yessss

[MicahRaine]

Never lol

[DizzyDesii]

I almost hit texas up just for some birria tacos. But i finally tried them here and ew lol

[MicahRaine]

lol I'm glad you didn't make the trip

[DizzyDesii]

Im still prob gonna get some when i finally go to six flags in texas 😂

[MicahRaine]

Fair enough

[jackieistired]

[jackieistired]

IHOP! Chicken fingers and fries lol

[DizzyDesii]

[scott04sa22]

I've been to illinois, ohio Michigan, Nevada, Tennessee. Kentucky and virginia. I ate all sorts of different foods there

[DizzyDesii]

[DizzyDesii]
