      Will you make a channel that is only Vegas? On and near the strip. We had been watching for years, but aren't interested in trips and the SoCal scene. Seems most are, but you've lost our interest. We liked it spaghetti & meatballs, fried chicken & mashed taters around the strip. Also Asian and Latin off the strip. Just have a channel "best of actual all you can Vegas."

    It blows me away the prices of everything today. I totally agree with ya'll on the rankings. When Derek got a scoop of white rice I was like "Nooooooo" it's by the pound. I know it was mall court food, but none of it was impressive until those burgers. I can remember 25 years ago Burger King would have 99 cent whoppers and McDonalds would counter with $1.00 Big Macs. Gosh how I miss those days. Great video.

Also, in Fort Worth, the #1 place for bbq in Texas is Goldie's but it is only opened on Friday, Saturday and Sunday because they do not compromise on their food. They work during the week but are not open until the weekend.

    Try Bludso's in L.A. and now Santa Monica. They outgrew Compton. They from Texas and the brisket is so tender and smoky.
    Valet parking for bbq! They moved where people can afford the food. Considered a contend er for some of the best in the country. Even so some of the best Bbq comes from behind bullet proof glass~

I saw some burgers at burger king was 12 bucks now? very crazy people think these are good burgers at these places and worth that price and don't realize what you can do at home

Bottom line I enjoyed your posting but that Topanga center looks like a train wreck with most places not opening until 4pm. I'm most curious as to your hate towards Chipotle and that it wasn't even your worst hated location so what is? (nobody's reading so you can post it here.) I mostly enjoyed Catherine in her posting of when she rated all the fast food filet of fishes that was hilarious.
