Just because one doesn't eat fast food, doesn't make them nutritionally healthy, you know this silly!

Look at all those people that homemade biscuits and gravy, that's not fast food but that sure is fattening and gross.

According to my wii, I have the wii age of 30. That's 6 years older than I am. I feel the best I have in my life. Eff that machine. Wii Sports Resorts is awesome though!

Isn't there a place downtown that makes a bunch of different types of empanadas/patty type stuff? I'm not thinking of Emiliano's (which is the SHIT) but like a little sidestreet place? I seem to recall some amazing food in this place but I cannot fucking remember it.

Also, the Steak and Shake you guys are talking about was where my Mom had her first job like 35 years ago. Apparently she quit in tears after a VERY short tenure...

Yes! Flaco's is the place. I thought it might be, being slightly reminded of it by mentions in this thread, but I wasn't sure. That place is really something else. I remember going there basically because I could smell it from half a block away.
I need to pay that place some more attention this year and stop alternating only between Chopstix and the Reggae Shack.

Chop Stix is hit or miss with me... it is weird. One time the food and service will be excellent and the next the service SO slow when it isn't even that packed... and i once was served completely inedible food. My noodle bowl had turned cold and congealed together into one huge noodle!

Also, there has been a new location now for a while that i still haven't been to:

Chop Stix Bistro - http://www.yelp.com/biz/chop-stix-bistro-gainesville

What shall I eat here?

Marc Summers says the best burger he has ever had is the Steak and Shake: Steak Burger... I've been told to go here for 2 years.

I am now even more excited and happy about the Fest hahah. I'm silly.


Marc Summers is also a totally neurotic freak. If that's the best burger he's ever had, then he either hasn't had many burgers, or he has terrible taste in burgers.

steak and shake is far from the best burger in town

right now I'm stuck between Mac's Drive Thru or Relish
