I'm in England and I loooove Nandos! They do incredible veggie burgers (I'm not a veggie, but they're so good!).

My favourite has to be Wagamamas though - Japanese style curries, rice and noodles. Yum! The prawn ebi katsu are amazing! I also love Yo! Sushi! So good.

In terms of English foods that are good, Marks and Spencer crumpets are so tasty with hot melted butter, I love Eton Mess (meringue, whipped cream and raspberries all mushed up), I really like eggs benedict (poached egg, smoked salmon, English muffin and hollandaise sauce, mmm) and you can't beat a cup of Yorkshire tea! Oh and Cadburys chocolate is the best! I'm not a fan of fish and chips though!

I have been to the USA - in Wyoming and Minnesota - my favourites were Dairy Queen, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and Grandmas in MN. In Jackson WY they have a burger bar called something along the lines of 'Big Billy's Big Burgers' - they really are huge! Like, bigger than your head! And so good!

Oh and the USA McDonalds is grim! It tastes fake! Ours is so much better - at JamFest Europe I was at McDonalds at the same time as a bunch of CEA Coed and the boys were pretty excited and shouting 'oh my GOSH you guys use actual meat here'!!

Who eats anything other than chicken at Nando's!?

Do you get ShakeAways in the states? There's loads of places like them now but I think they were the first big chain here. They do milkshakes but put literally anything in them- skittles, Oreos, Ferrero Rocher, there's hundreds on their boards. And if they don't have what you want you can just take in some sweets/chocolate and ask them to make it into a milkshake. Pretty sure they're what made me so hyper when I was younger, I used to have skittles and sherbert with a "bottom" (you can add tops or bottoms depending on whether they float or not lol) of popping candy. Best. Drink. Ever. :D

Wegmans - haha everyone loves Wegmans. People seriously freak out about it, it's hysterical, even though its just a grocery store. They have the best subs though, you have to get one (with the sub oil).

Although Whole Foods is my all-time favorite grocery store, Wegman's is a close second. There's a huge one in Erie and whenever I drive through there to get to New York to my boyfriend's cabin and/or hockey tournaments I never fail to stop there. The fact that they have every single flavor of Ben and Jerry's ice cream is my favorite! And the cafeteria-ish area is the best. I went to one in Hornell, NY last week with my boyfriend's mom while we were at their cabin and it was huge but didn't have as many prepared food options as the one in Erie. Either way, I was in heaven. Grocery stores are possibly my favorite place to shop haha

My best friend goes to school in Alfred so I've been to the Hornell Wegmans an you're right, it's fairly lackluster compared to other wegmans. And yes they have any kind of ice cream you'd want .... Which is never a bad thing ever. :p

Exactly!! They also have the Buffalo Sabres ice cream with the waffle cone pieces and peanuts (idk the name of it) but its literally to die for. I had two bowls of it when I was up there...for lunch.
 
There's lots of coffee shops-especially Starbucks in Atlanta. My dad works at Georgia tech, so I spend a lot of time in downtown. I would say, stop at the vortex for a burger. Also, taco max has really great food. And taqueria del sol (hope I spelled that right) has great food!! And the food comes out really fast, as soon as you sit down they have it ready for you!

We have Shipley's though, and we're getting a new one that is like 2 minutes from my new house, so yay for that. But we also have Krispy Kreme which, in my opinion, is like 1000000x better than Dunkin.

Soooooooo much better. We lived behind krispy kreme in va beach. Mmmmmmmmmm. They don't even have them here (well I think they have them in the suburbs but just like I'm not driving to the burbs for Sonic I'm not driving out there for coffee and donuts!). The Dunkin Donuts here are awful - and everywhere! I pass about 8 or 9 of them every morning. The donuts are dry dry dry. I guess it's good for my waistline though! I do love their coffee though - I have at least one or two a day!

We had Krispy Kreme for a while out here in Long Island but I think they all closed. Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks everywhere. I am a 7-11 gal - I like to make my own coffee and that Skinny Salted Caramel latte from the machine is to die for and the price is much better than any other place around.
 
Since some of you aren't that familiar with Dunks a tip from a New Englander with lots of teenage friends who work there: go right before close for free donuts! They throw them out at the end of the day and give them away! You might have to ask but I can't tell you how many free donuts I got without even asking on the way to/from practice as my 'dinner'. Oh the life of a cheerleader on the go..
