The Travel Thread

John Street.

 

the worst track record of any airport I've used over the past 20 years. More flights delayed and cancelled than imaginable.

 

My worst experience there was sitting in a plane taxing about 100' every 30 minutes or so in the middle of July for about three hours. The engines would shut down, so no ac. There was a hell of a storm hit, and I was certain we were going to get blown off the tarmac.

 

Restaurants in Knoxville to try:

And go.

 

Gotta tell us what you're going for.

 

I eat any and all types of food. Sushi, BBQ, burgers, steak, italian, you name it.

 

Stock and Barrel is currently tops downtown for burgers unless there's something new I don't know about.

 

Nama's for sushi

Barley's or tomato head for pizza and beer

 

Downtown Grill & Brewery. How many places can you get pizza and tacos and they both be good. Also an excellent stout. Pretty good beer in general.

 

duck fries.

 

And Buffalo burger.

 

Stock and barrel was great.

I'll try barleys next

 

Going to be in northern VA/DC for two weeks.

Food and places...and go!

 

Bump. One week left here. I'm counting on y'all

 

Few spots I've stumbled on this week in SF:
Swan Oyster Depot- fantastic fresh seafood lunch spot
Scoma's-old school Italian seafood spot at the wharf
La Roccas-cool dive bar in north beach
The Saloon-like 150 yrs old. Gritty blues rock dive bar.

 

Few things I enjoy more than a bump to first class. On a united flight between two hubs, nonetheless. See yall in CA.

 

Is the Beni Hana (sp) still open there? I know it is a chain, but is good, the original one.

 

ate there when i went out there

 

Going to make my once-per-Atlanta-trip trek down to the Varsity tomorrow. Will need a 20 mile run just to offset the calories.
