After that I think it would be fun to complete the "100 Things To Eat Before You Die" challenge too. The initial prediction says that of the 100 foods on this list, most people would have only tried about 20 (or less) of them. Lets see where I rank:
o man. what an exhausting list. when i visited memphis a couple years back we had gus's fried chicken! so good. and all those fried pickles! i think we ordered some at every restaurant! mmmm!
ReplyDeleteIm pretty excited to try most of it, but some of it I dont really want to try. Haha. Guss is really good. If you come back you need to get fried pickles from Soul Fish (really crispy) or Folks Folly (more dough like breading), but they are totally different (if you didnt).
