Worst place for overeating was Chason's in Lumber Bridge, NC.
That place rocked!! Well, at least the Lumber Bridge location did. I used to ride my scooter out there all the time and eat till i couldn't stand it.
After it burned down....not so much. the newer place sucked.
Concur on berns however. Great - pricey...but great.

Interstate BBQ outside of Memphis is owned by the Neely family. If you are ever in the lovely city of Gardena, California, relatives of the Neely family have a restaurant called, "JB's House of Fine Barbecue". It is right off the Harbor (110) Fwy at the Redondo Blvd off-ramp where San Pedro St merges into Avalon Blvd. Well worth the visit.

If you're ever in Decatur, AL or (as I just discovered recently) Monroe, NC, you have to try Big Bob Gibson's BBQ. I love their white sauce with smoked chicken. That combination is off the chain! Speaking of chicken, if you're ever in Memphis, you've gotta try Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken. They've been featured on the Travel Channel and made GQ's top 25 list a while back for being one of the best unknown places to eat, or something to that effect. As far as ribs go, I think Charles Vergos'Rendezvous is overrated, but the place is always packed and mostly with out of towners just looking to cut their teeth on the historic legend that is Memphis style BBQ. Personally, I prefer Neely's Interstate BBQ. It's in a sketchy part of town, but that pretty much includes all of Memphis. Arcade, at South Main and G.E. Patterson is a famous spot in Memphis. Aside from its cameo appearances in several movies and being used as a backdrop in SI's swimsuit issues, it's a great place to eat breakfast and recover from the many hangovers I've received from partying right across the street at Ernestine and Hazel's - where you're guaranteed plenty of terrible food, cold beer and hot women.
Guthries Chicken in Auburn, AL is some pretty good eatin', too. They definitely know how to pluck and serve up a bird. Moving along, through the South, we loved eating Southern Soul BBQ whenever we visited my family at St. Simon's Island, GA. Some of the best crawfish etouffee I've ever had was at Mother's Restaurant in the garden district of New Orleans. Most people congregate there for breakfast, and that's a great place to eat b'fast, but I loved their etouffee. While you're in the crescent city, if you get a chance to spend a little more time and money with your significant other then I recommend Bayona. It's a great atmosphere and chef Susan Spicer has done a fantastic job with her menu. Her sausage stuffed rabbit roulade and schnitzel w/toasted barley, braised carrot and apple-belgian ale sauce is out of this world.
Whenever we're in Key West, we love eating at El Siboney - a tiny Cuban restaurant that's simply amazing and the family that owns it are sincere, kind and welcoming. They even let my wife and I cook with them, after hours, and learn a few new things while we were there. Seven Fish is another place we enjoy eating. It's small so arrive early because space is definitely limited.
By the way, if anyone is ever in my AO feel free to hit me up. While I'm not from here, I've been here long enough to know where to unfold my napkin or ask for another round.

I was editing my post when you entered yours - great call on Neely's! They're good people, too.

Roger! Anthony Bourdain also said to get the burger "animal style". Is there a secret handshake, too.  I only lived there 35 years and now I'm learning all the secrets.

Animal Style is with everything, on the grill. I don't eat mustard on burgers so I don't order that item. Another not on the menu is the "4X4". 4 patties, 4 slices of cheese. If you want to be seen as an In'n'Out regular, order a 4X4, Animal style with Wellies Animal style (covered in cheese, dressing, pickles and grilled onions)...

AND from IN & Out~ Order a Burger with everything, Vegetarian.
It is all of what you want flavor wise, without the Meat! Delicious from the Encinitas, CA In & Out. (IIRC) It has been a while.
As far as real Restaurant reviews...
If a QP ever finds himself in Oklahoma, go for some serious pizza at Joe Mamas in Downtown Tulsa. Incredible handmade crust and sauce, but the best part about the place is the site itself. It is located in an old historic building, has nice dim lights, and is perfect for a late, late night meal.

Well, I told my life-long LA resident, redheaded, wife about these In-N-Out posts. She'd never heard of this secret menu either. And...she kind of let her red hair, now grey, down!  She called it elitism on par with the Sunset Strip clubs*, when she was young and still single, that only let in a select few while everyone else waited outside in the cold, damp, air. I have to cut this short because she is still ranting.
Pat
*For you younger folks, the Sunset Strip is a geographical location on Sunset Blvd., not where girls take off their clothes for money...usually.

To rerail this thread (apologies, Divemaster): La Nueva Casita Cafe, Las Cruces, NM. I like the Tacos Estrellas (From their menu: A combination special seasoned pork and beef, served on 3 soft corn tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo) with borracho beans. But, I like the corn tortillas to spend a few seconds in hot oil rather than soft. The refried beans are very good, too. They offer fideos as well, but I've never tried them.
I liked their borracho beans so much, that I started making them myself.

The Cowboy Dinner Tree just outside of Silver Lake, Oregon. Only open on the weekends, chicken or steak, no electricity so no credit cards or soda machines. You have to call to make reservations as they only cook for the folks coming to eat. It's out there a ways, but if you're ever headed through central Oregon it's well worth the stop even if you have to get a hotel room or stay in one of their cabins for the night.

Camp 18, at milepost 18 on HWY26 on the way to Seaside, Oregon. Excellent food all the way around and large portions. Get your fill with whatever you want from the chicken fried steak to pan fried trout. Then get yourself a cinnamon roll to go for later in the day or the next morning.
