FEATURED VIDEO: KANSAS
BLUES WAFFING AT BB's LAWNSIDE
What do you get when you combine a 60-year old granite smoker and some of the best live Blues that Kansas City has to offer? You get a downhome barbecue restaurant that can only be described as a true experience.
LOOKING BACK...

FONTABULOUS? EH
This may be one of the most challenging spots on the NASCAR circuit (Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA) to find good food at. There are so many great chain places, but the privately owned food finds are harder to find around the Fontana area. We tried our best and will be on the hunt for new and exciting places this trip. Chime in with some of your favorites too.
As our pal Stacy Huggins said on our facebook, " It's Fontana. Good luck."
TAILGATE TACOS!
MD gets schoole about the difference between Take-o's and Tacos!
LOVIN THE CIDER MILL!
We truly enjoyed our visit to the Louisburg Cider Mill while in Kansas for the NASCAR weekend. We had donuts and hot apple cider and brought home a ton of goodies from their store. It's a family -owned and operated success story. Check them out and order stuff online!

IN n' OUT
Ok... so In' N' Out Burger is a chain. It's fast Food. Who cares. It's one of the best places to get a fast-food burger and fresh-cut french fries out there. It rocks! Just do it!

Squeaky Cheese in Wisconsin
Taco Xalisco
(Jason "Eagle" Allison / MD Pick)
It's not in the greatest neighborhood, but if you want good, cheap and authentic mexican... this is another place as good as Fredy's. They are both challenging to spell for different reasons though. Xalisco's taco's are pretty darn good!

Wahoo's Fish Taco
(Kelley Schirmer Pick)
Wahoo's rocks... simply put. They are a local chain and a fabulous restaurant fusing Mexican, Brazillian and Asian flavors.

Vince's Spaghetti
(MD Pick)
They claim over 15,000 miles of spaghetti served each year! Yes, spaghetti is a sort of generic deal to some, but to natives of the Ontario, CA area (near California Speedway), twirling their noodles has been a tradition since 1945. The Cuccia family, who started the place, still runs the place. They are mainstay in the local-fabric.

The Hat
(Becky Blankenship - SPEED Pick)
Famous for their Pastrami (and yeah, MD loves Pastrami), The Hat is a Cali-only place that has become pretty darn popular. Want big portions? This is your place. Burgers and Fries are real good too in case you aren't a big Pastrami guy.

Rosa's (Beyond Italian)
(MD Pick)
Authentic Italian dishes in a pretty nice atmosphere. Live piano music and a great wine-list start your journey at Rosa's. From Spaghetti con Frutti Di Mare to Medaglioni Di Vitello Con Cariofi (Medallions of Veal with Fresh Artichoke hearts,, Garlic, Shallots in a White Wine Sauce), they've got it all. Also, Bruce Silver's favorite... Ossobuco.

New York Grill
Want a nice choice of wine and a good cut of steak. Well, this would be your place. The prices aren't cheap tho so beware. It's right next to the Ontario Mills Mall.

Fredy's Tacos
(MD Pick) - CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO
Freddy's or Fredy's? Well, they have both. It's spelled one way on the main sign and another way on the other. It doesn't matter...the sign isn't important. It's definitely not fancy but it is authentic!
A great spot for local authentic mexican food. Make sure you try one of their delicious fresh-fruit shakes. Carne Asada tacos and Carnitas are great. I've taken an order back to the room. It's real close to the track and most of the Ontario hotels.
