@Ems was it you who mentioned about King's Cross earlier? If not then I apologise haha. I live right by King's Cross (well did until a couple of days ago and will do again from as soon as I can find a place).
Not sure how far you want to travel, but just under a mile north is Camden Market which has loads of stands with different food (you can definitely get lunch for free by eating the tasters they hold out, but you might get shouted at a bit...) If you go a bit further south you get to Covent Garden/Soho/Chinatown area which has some real gems. Personally I think it's fun exploring and experimenting but if you want some specific places just say

As I was reading this thread last night, a good local place in NJ finally popped into my head. If you're ever in North NJ ( I mean why wouldn't you be 
) make sure to stop by the Country Pancake House in Ridgewood! They have pancakes that are as big as a small child and they are super delicious!!

Cookout is basically a free-standing drive through. Some locations have small dining rooms. They sell stuff like burgers, fries, hot dogs, chicken, wraps etc. It's really about being fast and suuuuper cheap. Cookout is basically what all high school/college kids live off of here because its so cheap haha.
Anywho, I'm Portuguese, and when we actually make Portuguese food, it always has chorizo in it...I honestly dont even know what kind of meat chorizo is, but it's soooo good.
I've also lived all over the country (California, Delaware, Arizona, and NC), and this is what I've noticed..
In California, most people don't even like In n Out burger, because its such a "touristy place" and the lines are wrapped around the restaurants for people to buy food and shirts and useless collectibles...but I will say every time I go back home to see family, I have to go eat in n out lol.
And also, just up north and on the west coast in general, we drink iced tea, not sweet tea. I cannot stand all the sugar they put in tea here in the south because my family drinks it all unsweetened since my family basically originated on the west coast...that sugar gives me such a headache.
I don't really remember much about Arizona because we don't go to visit since we only lived there for my dads business for about 18 months, so I have no input on AZ lol.
And NC...we have the best fast food. Cookout, Bojangles, Chic fil a, Zaxbys, etc. Everything n the south is literally about fried chicken. Not even kidding. And in my town, Krispy Kreme and Pepsi were originated, so you find Pepsi in most restaurants that aren't chains (like mcds), and Krispy Kremes on every corner. Dunkin Doughnuts are imposters.
OH, and if you're ever in North Carolina, South Carolina or Virginia you HAVE to try Cheerwine. They only sell it here (and apparently in Norway), and it's one of the best drinks ever. It's basically cherry soda, but not like coke with a hint of cherry, it's completely cherry soda. Delicious.
Oh and half of my moms family lives in Oklahoma too, lol, so we're also there quite often. Best food there is definitely Whataburger, Del Taco, and Braums. And in Oklahoma City, they have a restaurant with two locations, called "Dell Rancho", and it's the best. Their signature dish is a chicken fried steak on as a sandwich.
Didn't realize I knew so much about regional foods lol.

Yeah, In N Outs can get a bit touristy. But luckily where I live, the tourists come for the wine and five star dining, not fast food burgers, so ours is primarily locals. I've never seen a T-Shirt being sold at all the times I've been to an In N Out, not even in the crazy busy one in San Francisco.
And I completely agree. Sweet tea is too sweet and it's iced tea in California. And it's most likely unsweetened unless it's like a flavored raspberry tea. The only sweet tea around here is the kind you get at McDonalds for a buck. My boyfriend (who is from New Orleans) does not understand this concept. I was drinking iced tea one day and he took a sip expecting sweet southern tea and got a mouthful of iced green tea. He was horrified.

I love their food. I totally forgot about Murfs, we had one right by where I live but it turned into a Kraverz, which has the best burgers and fries, especially with ranch, and their custard is great too

The best pizza I've ever had is Five Star Pizza here in Florida. I didn't even know they existed until last year when I moved to Orlando for college because it was the only pizza place that would deliver until 4am. I would order a large and could eat half of it in one sitting and hate myself. and then the other half would be like breakfast and lunch the next day. I have yet to get it here since their location is too far for delivery, but I'll admit I've dreamed about their pizza.

Applebee's Clemmons now has Cheerwine as of yesterday. We know some people who work there and they told us today. So of course I had some. I hate Dunkin Doughnuts. Krispy Kreme is the best (as I live there too anyone who didn't know.) Also Juice Shop is amazing although they have them in Greensboro too. To be honest I hate McDonalds Sweet Tea. It's nasty and has a non-consistent taste. I love Bojangles' tea though. I thought Cheerwine was Carolina's only?

OMG yes juice shop by Hanes Mall? Sosososososoooo delicious. And I'm pretty sure it's just a local shop, so those of y'all on the west coast, it's basically like a Jamba Juice. Soooo yummy.
And I've alway had nasty food at Applebee's in Clemmons lol.

If you have one near you, you should check out Wasabi. So much nicer than Yo Sushi and the two in Manchester are always quieter than Yo Sushi no matter what time of day.
