thats absolutely right.
I dont like going 800 miles to eat at a chain restaurant... i can do that 1 mile down the road. I like finding the mom and pop places, or those restaurants that are unique to the town.
they yield some of the best eatin' imaginable.
one of my favorite past times is the "$100 hamburger"... for those unfamiliar, that is loading up into a small private airplane with a buddy or two and finding an out of the way, hole in the wall place to fly into and have a bite to eat.
we went to this small louisiana town once and ate at what appeared on the exterior to be a nearly abandoned old truck stop or something, i had my doubts... but i'll tell ya - i have not found better crawfish anywhere yet.
here in my home town, we have a small place with 3 tables and a counter... run by a family of mexican immigrants. best Tamales I have ever had.
good food, like most things of high quality, must be searched out.
