    Bingo! Was thinking the same thing since the person who started the thread has yet to check and explain this obviously ridiculous assignment.

    I couldn't smell the bullshit through all the marvelous ribs and ice cream.

    Can we go the other way around?

    Because believe me, I have tons of places worth avoiding...

    No I lived in Arkansas. Jonesboro to be exact, which isn't small by the standards in Arkansas. I know people who would come to Jonesboro because it was the big town, but people that live in Jonesboro go to Memphis because it is the big town. I guess it is just the vicious cycle of things.

    Interstate tops all in my book, although Rendezvous is a close second. The BBQ nachos at Rendezvous are the best I have ever had. Anytime I can make it to Autzone Park for a Red Bird game I always buy some from the Rendezvous station they have there.

    Interesting about the Joe Kline thing. I don't think he owns the one in Memphis. There used to be one in Jonesboro I know it wasn't owned by him. I didn't know he was an assistant there either.

    Not B.S. at all. I think this is a stupid assignment myself. They want a story about how journalism has changed. From blogs to travel to all of it. Part of it is the great food and how that is going away at some places. Not on my beat, but down the road I am sure. Media guides the entire deal.

    I agree with those who are saying it is stupid and I have read it.

    Georgia Tech is charging too - $5 for a spread of BBQ pork sandwiches and chicken fingers. Looked pretty pedestrian but I didn't partake.

    Valentino's, the same people who make the mini-pizzas they serve in the stadium.

    The above quote is NO LIE. I've been to AutoZone Park once in my life. Those BBQ nachos were the best thing I've ever eaten at a ballpark and would probably make top 10 in food items I've had in my life.

    I don't know if there was ever a time when press box food, in general, could be classified as "great."
     
  10. By the standards of pressbox food, the Knicks had quite a pregame meal offering in the late '80s/early '90s. And with Manhattan-sized tip, it was almost like today's $5 or $10 charges.

    The Knicks are still pretty good, actually.

    In the Baylor press box today, pre-game was build-your-own sandwiches with quality bread, good selection of meats and cheeses and veggies. Chili dogs were also available. I was on the field so I don't know if anything new was brought out at halftime, but there was pizza after the game. Freezer with many varieties of ice cream treats was open the entire day as was a cooler with Dr Pepper products.
