Food you would drive two hours for?

Anything my Mom can cook. She lives in Texas and I in Michigan. It could be Kraft Mac and Cheese. Mom makes it special.
Awww that's so sweet I agree! My mom makes this digusting stuff, it's cheez wiz mixed with rice, chicken, canned mushrooms, and peas...but if my mommy handed it to me and said, I made this just for you, I'd eat it up! My mom lives in Florida and I in Connecticut, so I feel your pain!
Note: my mom is totally a good cook. There's just that dish that she thinks is delicious...bargh. She does make this soup, it's chicken broth made from scratch, with chicken, wild rice, peas, corn, spices, and tomatoes added in at the end. Then you chop up avocados and add it in to each bowl, and melt butter on flour tortillas to dip it in the soup. A squirt of fresh lime on top and perfect! What I would give to have a bowl of that today!0 -
Cheesecake Factory
HA!!! I've totally done that in my former days =D
Spontaneous trips to Houston for some good cheesecake!0 -
If any of you are from Northeast Ohio - I would so TOTALLY drive at least two hours for my favorite meal from Swenson's:
A Galley boy, potato teezers with ranch to dip them in, and a chocolate peanut butter malt milkshake.
Oh my mouth is watering now. How I miss Swenson's since I moved to PA. I grew up on that stuff.
Oh, me too, love Swenson's!!! I go there every time I visit the siblings to get a double cheeseburger (no bun now that I'm wheat free) and their tater tots. Mum went to school with the original owners son, and we were sometimes rewarded to a dinner there as a much loved treat.0 -
Chicken and waffles at Roscoe's. I thought about driving up to Oakland for it but found out that they are closed, and the chicken and waffles place up there isn't as good from what I've heard. Roscoe's in Long Beach is so good, you will slap yourself. You will slap your mama.0

In college, we used to drive two hours for Popeye's Chicken...sad but true. LOL! I would def drive more than 2 hours for Gladys Knight's Chicken and waffles with an uptown drink (a mix of VERY sweet tea and lemonade) :-) OMG im drooling.......................goodbye haha0

dont know if you are a fan of spicy food like me but were as disappointed as i was when you finally had ghost peppers? with food they are not that hot at all...the only way to really feel them is to eat one raw. even then its not that bad.
i want to try the worlds hottest pepper(trinidad moruga scorpion) hopefully its a lot hotter.0 -

To the person who mentioned Roscoe's a bit upthread, yesssssss. I just got hit with a chicken and waffles cravings today and was thinking about those all afternoon. XD
Anyway, I think I could beat out most people on this topic because I've driven much further than two hours for food, lol. See, I *love* bread--if I had to name a favorite sort of food, it'd be bread hands down. My father is often in different parts of California for work, and he had been promising to stop by Schat's bakery in Mammoth for ages, but every time he was in the area he either forgot (a;sldjflsdk) or wasn't there until they had already closed for the day. So eventually my mum and I got fed up with waiting for him to bring us delicious bread and cannoli (mmmmmmm, one of my many weaknesses...), so my family ended up making a day trip out of it, driving up the 395 and stopping off at places along the way like Pearsonville (boasting this sad, creepy, rickety, almost certainly not child safe playground that amused us for some time--also (self proclaimed?) hub cap capital of the world~), fossil falls, and Manzanar. But the end point and reason for going was this bakery.
...I live in San Jacinto, CA. Without making any stops, it's a 6 hour drive one way. :x0 -

I'm not sure if you knew this, but the heat of the chili depends on the time of year that it is picked. The colder the weather in which the chili is harvested, the more spicy the pepper. You might have tried it at the wrong time of year.... Ghost peppers in the winter are the 3rd hottest in the world, halfway to government-issue pepper spray potency.0 -
NY bagels & pizza

There is an ice cream shop 2 1/2 hours north of me that has UNBELIEVABLE homemade ice cream. I'm getting them to cater the dessert for my wedding0

Dude, you can get some good pizza in SF from some thin-crust spots all over North Beach. It's a tad thinner than NY, but close to what you get in Italy.0

OK two hour drive...well it's almost 3 hours back when gas was cheap, after getting off work at midnight a few of us would pile in my car and drive to Chicago for White Castle Sliders, or over to Rockford to Beef-a-Roos, Then hit Crispy Cremes on the way home. Can't do that now gas is too high...not to mention all the calories..whew no wonder I'm fat.0
