Default AirNav, BBQ, etc ... $7.42/gallon avgas - OT!

What it needs is the names of restaurants and some information about them.

I already made one:

Needs updates, of course. Send the updates myway.

Since that $100 hamburger dude basically shat upon the entire general
aviation community who contributed data to him for so many years, how
many folks here wished that Paul would add a search feature to AirNav
to find airports with restaurants on-field or within walking distance,
with user comments and ratings for those eating establishments?

I have to chuckle when someone claims that they can't find decent food
in NYC. Clearly not from personal experience even if it is in jest.
Have you ever been to Virgil's or Daisy May's? NYC has some of the best
eating in the world, you just need to know where to look. Seeking out
good eats is a city-wide pasttime here.


Sorry, but you can't get *real* BBQ outside of Texas... The best that you
can hope for is that the imitation might not be completely unpalateable...
BBQ is a religon in Texas... We know *everything* about it and the rest of
the country knows ****... Don't believe me? Well, just ask us...


I heard of a really great BBQ place in Texas, and I probably partially
agree with you. But, I had great BBQ at several places in Kansas. What
exactly is the definition of "*real*?" The definition varies with
demographic. Btw, NYC does have a Texas BBQ restaurant and it has pretty
damn good BBQ. Sure beats traveling to Texas.

You need to go down main street in Santa Maria. I know, it just doesn't make sense, but it is there and it is good.
Central coast...away from the so cal nuts and fruits and in the land of the ranchers...

I have traveled the throughout most of the US and quite a bit throughout

If ever I found narrow minded individuals that make statements like the
one above, it always seems to come from the uneducated, less worldly
(less traveled) pinheads that think there is nothing better than their home
state that they rarely depart from.


And comments like the above typically come from ever-so-enlightened
souls who believe themselves to be broad-minded and sophisticated but
in fact simply bought discounted, non-TSO'd senses of humor. If you did
pay full price for yours, you really should return it for a refund.


Your statement that us New Yorkers can't pronounce the word Houston
is ironic considering that most Texans can't even pronounce the name
of your own state correctly. It is Te-Has not Tex-Ass.


It's neither, you stupid arrogant yankee.

It is Am-Ma-Ree-Yoo not Am-Maa-Rill-Oh.


Wrong again, yankee. What ever posessed you to think that you know how
anything at all in Texas is "correctly" pronounced? A bit
pseudo-Spanish phonetics is hardly a sign of wisdom.

But in demographic, the only authorities for the definition are Texan...
Those foreigners like to think that they can call what they do BBQ,
but it's not... Of course it's one of those primal laws of nature anyway
-- you just can't make *real* BBQ outside of Texas...

There are many local taxes added in NJ.


Like the, "we think you're too stupid to pump your own gas
so you have to pay for some unejamakated idiot to pump it
for you" tax?
