Title: Vote For "America's Manliest Restaurant"
Post by: Grzrd on July 20, 2012, 12:37:35 PM
Men's Health Magazine (http://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/manliest-restaurants-2012) is conducting a vote for America's Manliest Restaurant.  Here in the ATL, I frequent Hankook Taqueria and I have voted for them.  The self-described "Hankook Hotties" who take orders and serve the food are alone worth the visit.  :sombrero:  Otherwise, a great deal!

The polls close on July 31.

EDIT

Although not on this year's ballot, I do want to mention Ann's Snack Bar in Atlanta,

Ann is nearing retirement age and has been trying to sell the place for a few years years, without success.  If you are a burger aficionado and visiting Atlanta in near future, it is worth the pilgrimage:

This review (http://www.cheese-burger.net/stories/anns-snack-bar.html) itemizes the ingedients:

I asked about the difference between the "World-Famous"  Ghetto Burger and the slightly more-expensive "˜Hood Burger.  The Ghetto is a double cheeseburger served with chili, lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, ketchup, and mustard.  The "˜Hood swaps out the lettuce and tomato for slaw.

The Wall Street Journal proclaimed it 2007's best burger (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117348069193432668-email.html). Definitely a manly burger.

Gotta be the Big Texan Steakhouse in Amarillo, with the famous 72-ounce steak one-hour challenge. You can also get rattlesnake and mountain oysters.

72? That's nothing. I've seen 96 or even 102 (just to hit 3 digits). Only in Texas.

I don't know which one is manliest, but I know it isn't Chick-Fil-A.

While manly and big meals do go well, these eating contests are more boyish. There's such a thing as 'too big to be manly'.

Not America, but: http://www.sausagetreepub.co.uk/ <- huge choice of beers, a menu which is very meat-based, and you can cook your own steaks - with a selection of 'exotic' animals in addition to your basic stuff (A wildebeest is basically a type of cow, but it's more manly than simple beef).

Keep that in the other restaurant thread, please.
