Food is a matter of taste. The best of anything is those things you like so I don’t know how anyone can declare one pizza is the best. They could say it is very good but that just means THEY like it.
Those locals in the nearest city to here are very much those people. They have “the best” burgers, chili, and fried chicken.
There is one particular place that is often said to be “the best of the best” in all 3.
The burgers are burned little chips on a “hardroll” (its really just a stale bun).
After a lifetime Ive figured out the recipe for their chili. In equal parts its 1/4 ketchup, 1/4 hotsauce, 1/4 lard, 1/4 sand.
The fried chicken is just rolled lightly in flour and tossed into the fryer until it becomes like a substance made of densely packed nylon rope strands in a plastic shell.
Dishonorable mention goes to their famous perch fry. Each delicious fillet is boiled in hot oil until each looks like someone cut the curled ear off of a black piglet and tossed it on your plate.
It may have been a good place 60 some years ago when it opened but its terrible now. Im sure any of the rest of you would send it all back or maybe just leave thinking it was some kitchen prank on a tv show. Yet people continue to go and rave about this place but it seems to really be only because of the way its woven into the local culture.
