10 Restaurants Worth Waiting in Their (Very) Long Lines Franklins #5

Never had Burmese food in NYC but did in SF.  There's this amazing restaurant in the Richmond District called Burma Superstar.  They don't take reservations and speaking of lines, the wait is out the door.  You definitely have to try when you're back in the Bay Area.  

Smoked duck sounds amazing!  I'll be in NYC in September for my annual US Open trip.  I must try this restaurant!  You said it's called Dagon?  Which neighborhood?

It was there.  But, no longer.  At the time, it was the only Burmese restaurant in the NYC area, we are talking about thirty years plus ago.   It was in the Village.

I read recently that a Laos restaurant opened in NYC.  My brother has friends whom are Laos and their mom makes this amazing noodle soup called Khao Poon.  It's like pho to the Vietnamese.  Definitely a comfort food.

That looks good!   You know, the whole Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, India cooking thing is such a melange, but at the same time with a Chinese and European overlay.  Of course, even the distinctions that I mention are not culinary and really represent European distinctions by conquest, not the reality on the ground.  I have read that if you visit Thailand and move from river valley to river valley from south to north, the cuisine varies greatly, much greater than the variety that one might find in a unified culture.  Thus, it seems to follow that our concept  of culinary culture is too dependent on out political cultural definitions. I seem to remember that you are of Taiwanese descent.  I have read that culinary influences on Taiwan are very different than that of the Mainland influence, and of course, I know that the cultural history is very convoluted.  I would hope that in the future that the greatest cultural differences that we would have to argue over in the world would be culinary differences, like Monarch and Me arguing over the relative validity of Que!  Eh, Monarch?  ;)

Franklin is #1 with a bullet for brisket and pork ribs in my book.  As for KC, I tried most of the old time joints, but my favorite was the downtown Jack Stack.  I never thought I'd see a BBQ place that was a white tablecloth, high priced "nice" restaurant, but it is easily my favorite in KC. One of their side dishes is called cheesie corn, and it's in my all-time top three sides for Q. In Memphis, a quirky little place called Interstate was my fave. They have BBQ spaghetti, which sounds really weird, but I cleaned my plate when I was there. I went to Corky's in Nashville and enjoyed myself.

 
Diners drive ins and dives is showing Lukes inside and out on south Lamar right now.

 
It is a show on the food channel with Guy Fieri. He goes around the country showcasing eating places. This thread was about eating establishments. Since he was showcasing this place in Austin I thought "what the hell, I'll post about it" maybe some of the posters have eaten there and it would bring back good memories.

Thanks for posting, so, does Luke's still exist?

 
If I have to wait for Franklins for 1-2 hours, I'll just drive out to Coopers and have the best. I lived on the East coast and grew up on Carolina BBQ and I'll say it is good, but the best of that kind of BBQ is in Memphis!

 
Cooper's is opening a downtown restaurant in Austin later this year across from the Austonian.
