My Favorite Places to Eat Cont.

Smithfield's BBQ

Eastern North Carolina BBQ at its best. Well maybe not its best, but close. Eastern Carolina BBQ has a vinegar based sauce with lots of salt and red/black pepper. If you look on the web, Smithfield's is commonly noted as the best East Carolina BBQ in the region. Aside from the BBQ the Slaw and Hush Puppies are also great. I've never tried the chicken.

Buffalo Wild Wings

If you like wings and you like spicy, this is the place for you. When you walk into the restaurant the have a sauce scale on the wall with the 14 sauces from least spicy to the most spicy. I must say that I like to think that I can handle some pretty hot stuff, but I've only had up to the 4th hottest sauce. My favorite is the Caribbean Jerk Sauce. This is also a great place to visit during march madness, as they have about 20 huge screens playing every basketball game.

Texas Roadhouse

Another one of those places that has never disappointed. They have great steaks and great bread. One of the highlights of Texas Roadhouse is the country music and the line dancing servers. That's right, at some specified time all the servers line up and start dancing in unison. It is a great atmosphere.

The Coppermill Restaurant

No, this is not a picture of the Coppermill, but this is what you would see out the window while eating at the Coppermill. I worked at this restaurant for a few years and still say that it is the overall best restaurant in Cache Valley. They have the best steaks and prime rib, the best salad bar, the best hamburger, and the best banquet buffet. Sure, there are some menu items that are sub-par, but don't order those and you'll be fine. Here's a trick for those of you who may not know. The odd thing about the Coppermill is that they serve 20 oz bottled soda. What most people don't know is that they do have fountain drinks (refills included) if you just ask.

Roadside Taco Stand in Tijuana, Mexico

My wife thinks I am out of my mind with this one. The best taco I've ever had was at a little roadside, open-air taco stand in Tijuana. Sure, I was skeptical at first, but I was with a group of guys who had eaten there numerous times before. The picture is just about what the taco looked like. Carne Asada, lettuce, cilantro, and lots of Guac. All I can say is Yummmmm! (And I didn't get sick.)

Well, that does it for my top ten restaurants. As with any of my lists, I reserve the right to change my mind at any time. And, I am sure that I will always miss a few when I put these lists together. But, for now it looks good to me.
