Best Burmese Food Outside Burma...in Fort Wayne?!
Hi Melicia,
Sure I remember you. Let me know if you check out the Burmese, it's excellent. Fort Wayne has good Mexican and BBQ. Also there are Amish farm meals an hour or so North.

So glad you liked it. Please spread the word. Ft. Wayne has already seen two Burmese restaurants come and go. This one might be the best. And the owners are extremely nice.
Different, interesting, tasty, fresh-made Matzo...
At Tres Pommes Bakery on Fifth Avenue, near Garfield Place. Thick, crunchy, salty. Makes excellent matzo brei.

They also have a parking lot on the back street.

Akaungzarr is closed Mondays.
Be sure to ask them to tell you the daily specials that are written in Burmese on the white board.
And please report back!

IMHO Nathan's has excellent dogs and their fries are superior.
Hoosier classics in James Dean's Hometown
Classic down home small town Hoosier cooking survives and thrives in this modest Fairmount diner just down the road from the farm where James Dean grew up. In fact his closest relatives still eat here all the time. I had an outstanding version of that archetypal double carb dish: beef and homemade noodles over mashed potatoes. Other excellent foods include: butter beans, fried apples, pork tenderloin, salmon cakes, pies. This is middle American victuals at its best. While in town be sure to visit the fascinating James Dean Gallery, a loving shrine to the brief life of the talented actor. Main Street also has several interesting antique shops and a first rate vinyl record store.

Best Burmese Food Outside Burma...in Fort Wayne?!
Good news! Though I mourned the loss of the late, great Yathamon I am happy to report the opening of an amazing new Burmese restaurant: Akaungzaar Asian Restaurant. Unlike Mahnin which mainly has Burmese food on weekends, the unpronounceable Akaungzaar has superb Burmese food all the time, in addition to Thai dishes. I was in Fort Wayne briefly so I only had a chance to sample five dishes, all of the highest quality. Lat Fat Tok, pickled tea leaf salad. Potato samosa. Ket Kay Kite, stir fried flat rice boodles with shrimp and scrambled egg. O Cut, a moderately spicy dry chicken curry. Shwe Kyi, banana flavored semolina cake. The owner was super friendly, though not strong in English he brought over his Burmese dictionary to help. The other patrons were all Burmese. They open at 9AM serving a traditional Burmese breakfast of fish soup and lo mein salad. I hope this place survives so please check it out.

Bensonhurst Chinese Food
I like both authentic and Americanized Chinese food. I've heard of Silver Star. What dishes do you like there?
Fei Long Food Court, Sunset Park
Not spicy but good. I'll try asking for it spicy next time. Also want to try the other rice noodle dishes, they have 2 different sausage versions.
Fei Long Food Court, Sunset Park
I tried the Guilin rice noodle dish. Very good with slices of roast pig and some kind of tasty braised beef. It's listed on a poster as dish #1 when you order. The rice noodle dishes are listed as soups, but it just means that they serve a cup of broth on the side.
Fei Long Food Court, Sunset Park
Tried the crab/pork soup dumplings. Not great but okay. Kind of bland. Want to try the plain pork. Nice people.
Bensonhurst Chinese Food
Had fantastic roast pig and other good Cantonese food at a banquet at F.L.H. Seafood @ 1968 86th Street. There are many Chinese restaurants along this street and nearby Bay Parkway. Has anyone tried them?

Real (and fake) Authentic Sichuan Food in Park Slope!!
Don't think it's a destination place, but a neighborhood gem.
Looking for sour sop, tamarind ice creams (tropical ice cream place?)
See my post above. Fabio's is gone.
Carroll Gardens Fish Store--Brooklyn
Thanks. I've tried Sunshine in Manhattan, their stuff is spotty. Found the best at Mitsuwa in NJ. Any other NYC places you know of?
