post reasons the south (us) is better

[Scurvy]

this thread confuses me. Obviously every region has its own claim to fame in the culinary field, and by now everybody's secrets have been absorbed by pretty much everybody else.

Best Pizza I've ever had: drunk as fuck after a pixies concert in chicago
Best Hot Dog: downtown Detroit after a Tiger's game.
Best BBQ: St. Louis (though to be fair I haven't traveled much south of tennessee)
Best seafood: Texas, although I'm heading out to Boston in the spring so we'll see.

Best Landscape: White water rafting through the smoky mountains
Best Beach: Ocho Rios, Jamaica (oops).

And as far as the ladies go, when you can only dress in skanky club clothes for 1/3 of the year, you better believe they go all out. Any big city will have a fine selection of beautiful women, so its ridiculous to argue about that.

And for my personal interest, most urban cultural/art scenes that pertain to my tastes are on the west coast or NYC. and if anybody has any interesting rural art scenes to throw my way....still waiting on that one.

But the thought of not waking up on Christmas morning with snow on the ground makes me queasy.


edit: And as I believe I've mentioned before, my local microbrewery has two beers in the top 10 (one is ranked #2, the other #8) on Beer Advocate's 100 best international brews, so lets cut the shit about anywhere having the 'best' beer.....says scurvy as he is about to leave for a christmas party with a 24 back of black label in a can.

well it looks like we've all concluded that the south is better and have decided to post pictures of scenery instead

here i am running towards a tractor

[kthx]

Really? Its a shithole town though in all honesty. What could you possibly be doing up there besides Lake Conroe.

[Jerome Scuggs]

My home town Conroe

haha really, i have hung out there alot, more than i have ever been to houston

[vaped]

one of my favorite drives in the state between Silverton and Ouray. Red Mountain Pass, also known as the "million dollar highway" not a damn guard rail the whole way and whole lot of memorials to state snow plow drivers who plunged over the edge.

Edit: "million dollar highway" is from when it was built in 1924, it cost $1M per mile to build! allegedly anyway. lol

[kthx]

If you come to Houston we could meet up and have some BBQ, hopefully Goode Company or Rudy's.

My home town Conroe has a great micro called Pine Belt Ale, bombshell blonde is amazing.

Mountains are pretty gay, especially ones capped with snow, I mean what good is that going to do besides we don't have to deal with asshole skiers. Now nice plains is what is the best thing to see, Nice and flat.

I knew the microbreweries would come up eventually. I'll leave that to you though Vaped, thats not my specialty.

I do enjoy beer. I don't drink like I used to, still too much at times <_< but not like college.

here's another reason the south is better-

i just realized its almost christmas. it's easy to miss all that horrific holiday stress when you're still swimming in lakes, enjoying 70 degree weather and barbecue

Nice view there, soup du jour. Many parts of colorado look like that
95 on a road without any safety markings, that's how I drive when i get into the mountains. lol

lol
the first one is anytown, British Columbia (I honestly have no idea where in BC) and the second one is in Idaho in the summer probably going through Idaho Falls to get away from the Mormons.

Being a city boy surrounded by moutains, I can appreciate a nice warm water beach.

Alright, I'm gonna fly down to Houston and drive to Miami. I hope you southern gents show me some of that famous hospitality.

I recently went down to Portland and had a whole bunch of amazing craftbeers. My favourite place was Rogue by a long shot. I also checked out Deschutes but we get those up in Canada.

We've got some pretty good microbreweries here too. Okanagan Springs is the biggest one. Granville Island was bought by Molson-Coors. Howe Sound Brewing usually puts out a quality product. And right now I'm homebrewing a christmas ale that is absolutely delightful.

West cost pwns u, faggots.

Most beers in the west are fantastic. Northwest, Cali, Colorado, BC, etc. ALL OF THEM.

Rogue is a great brewery. I also really enjoy Stone Brewing Co down in San Diego County. Stone IPA is so, so good.

Best one in Colorado IMO is Great Divide Brewery, although there are many small ones in the mountains I haven't had in a while and I forget their names. Arapahoe Basin Ski Area usually has a beer fest on memorial day weekend hosting all of them.

who cares how many mountains you have??? climbing them is fucking HARD and nobody wants to do that shit unless they have to.

on the other hand, we have beaches. beautiful ones. immaculate, white, virgin beaches.....
(mountains=gay)

BOTH are good, Geno!!!! <_<<_<

I lived in Grayton Beach for a while -- i see you're on the gulf side as well since you're spouting off about white beaches.

[Soup du Jour]

Wow I've wasted a lot of time in here today. Excellent.


EDIT: with all the shit talk going back and forth, we haven't even mentioned micro brews somehow. that always gets people fired up when their beer gets challenged.
