A Few of My Favorite Things

I was able to return to upstate New York last week for a vacation with the family...and of course the first thing I could think to post about was food. While the Thanksgiving feast was great..it was not the highlight of my dining experiences while on vacation. There were a few things that trumped it. If I had access to these things on a regular basis they would not, but I don't, so they do. When I get the chance to go back home I usually make eating at certain places a priority. Now these are not fancy places,where I come from there are no fancy places, but they are all I need. The first stop is a trip to the Bagelry in Potsdam for a Gobbler. I spent a lot of time in college eating Gobblers and pizza bagels and my wife and I usually go there for lunch once each trip home. The second place I try to make it to each time is Sergi's for a pizza roll. These are about the most unhealthy things imaginable. After going to a late movie with my wife I decided to swing by to see if they were open. They usually are open late to cater to the drunk bar patrons. I also spent a lot of time as one of those at this place while in college. I grabbed a roll and headed to the car. The ride home was like 20 minutes so there was no way I was going to wait that long. I opened it and ate it while driving home. I thought I was doing a decent job of keeping it clean but when I got inside I realized it had slowing been dripping grease out of the end and on to my lap. A small price to pay really. The last stop has not been a regular stop but will be from now on I think. There is no sub quite like a sub from Jreck's. I knew no other sub for most of my young life and have yet to find a better one. I am now back in Wisconsin and will have to wait until Summer to indulge on these things again. In the mean time I will have to get by on butter burgers from Culver's.
