Yes, we marinated the chicken in mayo. Fight us in the comments, then go make it.

In our Smoked Buffalo Chicken Wrap the mayo coats the chicken while in fat so it stays juicy through the smoke and browns — sounds crazy, tastes incredible.

Smoke it over Gourmet Blend for that balanced wood-fired flavor and clean smoke that lets the chicken shine.

“Don’t call them hot dogs.” — Olneyville New York System

Providence has been running on hot wieners since 1946, and this is the corner where the Stevens family turned a Greek immigrant lunch counter into a Rhode Island institution. Same red neon, same griddle, same guy lining buns up his forearm from wrist to shoulder like it’s a sport. James Beard America’s Classics in 2014. Nobody here needed the plaque to tell them.

The order: three all the way — meat sauce, mustard, onions, celery salt — fries with salt and vinegar, and a coffee milk you did not know you needed.

Rhode Island’s been keeping this one quiet long enough. 🌭

Big Mac went to college

Hawksmoor came over from London in 2021 and set up inside a landmarked building off Gramercy — mosaic floors, charcoal grill, the whole cathedral treatment. Then they put a Golden Arches tribute on the menu and made it better than the original. Two dry-aged patties cut with bone marrow, special sauce, American cheese, shredded iceberg, onions, house pickles, and the club-style third slice of bun where it belongs. Beef-fat fries alongside.

The order: the Notorious B.E.E.F., $25 — lunch only, or at the bar at dinner.

Vodka before noon on St. Marks is just lunch. — Cello’s Pizzeria

Thirty-six St. Marks. Between Second and Third. Ninth food business to take that address — and the first one people line up for. Cello’s opened in 2024 with chef James Jaworski behind the counter, an L’Industrie alum who left Williamsburg and brought the crust with him. Four bucks a slice. Subway tile, no pretense, fresh pies rotating all day.

The order: a whole vodka pie, an Elite slice, a tomato slice, and a burrata slice to close it out.

Best slice on the street is a big claim. St. Marks doesn’t seem to mind. 🍕

Flip once or flip often? Every backyard has a guy who’ll die on one of these hills. We put both to the test on identical ribeyes — same fire, same salt, same rest. One came out with a crust you could hear. 🥩🔥 Full breakdown up now. Which camp are you in? Drop it below. 👇

Crispy Outside. Molten Mozz Inside. Johnsonville Italian Sausage throughout🔥

We built the risotto from scratch for this — Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage browned in first so the fat gets into every grain. Then it’s mozzarella in the middle, breadcrumbs on the outside, and straight into the fryer until golden.

Pro tip: use a mold. Pack rice into one half, press the cheese into the center, cap it with the other half and squeeze. Perfectly shaped, perfectly sealed, every single time. Freehanding it is how you end up with cheese in your fry oil.

“What’ll ya have?” The Varsity

Two city blocks. Room for 800. Open since 1928. The Varsity isn’t a restaurant, it’s a rite of passage — and they’ve been slinging chili dogs on North Avenue since Frank Gordy opened the doors with a $2,000 nest egg and a whole lot of nerve.

The order: chili dogs all the way, a ring one, strings on the side, and a Frosted Orange thick enough to eat with a spoon. Then a fried peach pie, because you don’t leave Atlanta without one.

Learn the lingo or don’t — the line moves either way. 🌭🍊

Name the LOCAL LEGEND in your town. 👇

Every town’s got one. The place with the line out the door on a Tuesday. The place where the menu hasn’t changed since your dad was in high school. The place where the guy behind the counter starts making your order before you open your mouth.

We’ve stood in line at greats like Brennan & Carr, Walter’s, John’s Roast Pork, Gray’s Papaya, Katz’s, Pat’s, Johnnie’s and Earle’s on Crenshaw.

Now we want yours.

Drop it in the comments — name, town, and the ONE thing you order.
