Mattkentfield at the B&B Diner in Opp, AL...thinking its worthy of a Short Track Speed Eats entry.
Racing Electronic's Kevin Hughes sent us this pic from a restaurant we featured in Las Vegas, NV. "Hash House A Go Go" was a treat. The RE-boys found out it was a breakfast treat too. This place called "Chorizo Scramble" got a great review!

Ridgewood Barbecue
Ridgewood is MD's favorite Barbecue place in the country. Benny Parson's introduced me to this special place years ago. Ridgewood is only 10-minutes away from the track. The waits tend to be long but are well worth it. I take new people to this gem every year.
