Cedar Point Warehouse expansion and DQ

Based on some of the other opinions I still stand by what I say. I think Q'doba and Chipotle burritos are virtually identical.

Me too, Rob.

As far as Skyline - hated it when we first moved to the area.

Fast forward almost five years and I don't know how I ever lived without it. There's always a can of Skyline chili in the pantry around here.

Finally got turned on to Skyline Chili Dip just a few weeks ago. It will now be a regular thing when dip is needed.

...I work with several real Mexicans...

Good thing they are real. The fake ones cause nothing but trouble;)

Actually the fake Mexicans think chili is proper at a Mexican restaurant ;-). And lots of retried beans.

edit: retired-refried (Dang You Auto Correct!)

I've always thought Skyline was too watery. When I make Cincinnati chili at home, it comes out just right -- saucy enough to stick to the pasta, but not so runny as to leave a pool of red water on the plate. It also works great as a chip dip.

Speaking of Cincinnati, I wouldn't mind seeing Montgomery Inn ribs at CP either...

^^LOL Clint, it said retried, not retired. Seems like they're ALL words with that general vowel-consonant combination (and all being 1-2 point Scrabble letters). ;)

I wouldn't have commented, but "retried beans" just seems too comical, considering their....."repeatability". ;)

Dang it did it too me twice. LOL. If that were a text message, I'd have sent it in to DYAC.com!

Since we are picking on you for your misuse of words - "too" should be "to" in the post above. Someone is having a bad English day!

LOL, no more posting from the iPhone.

As for someone who frequents Chipotle and Q'doba I prefer Chipolte because of the crack-laced tortilla chips. The burritos are virtually the same.

I am in the same boat, except for Q'doba's Ancho Chile BBQ Burrito, Chipoltle has no answer for that awesomeness!

Cedar Point serves Montgomery Inn ribs at the Chuck Wagon in Frontier Town.

I have only seen the frozen chili in the Cleveland area.

I live in Huntington, WV and we have frozen Skyline Chili at many of our local Walmarts. I don't get it often because it is missing the beans, so I have to add my own, which defeats the purpose of buying ready-made chili in the first place.

Did anyone try the ribs at CP? Were they any good? I refuse to eat Montgomery Inn ribs anywhere but the restaurants in Cincy, which means I don't get them very often at all.

Huh. Well that's what I get for eating at the park as little as possible. :) Thanks. Like Shades asked, I wonder if they're as good as the 'real' restaurant variety.

I've never tried the one at the park, but here is a some of the prices.

"here is a some"? What are you, Italian? ;)

Italian as the pizza at Cedar Point ;)

If there's a difference between Chipotle and Q'doba, I can't tell what it is. Both provide not-entirely-bad-for-you fast food burritos. Both are a few light years better than Taco Bell (with its "taco meat filling"), and neither are anything like a serious mom-and-pop hole in the wall mexican place.

(Edited: apostrophe catastrophe.)

With real Mexicans.

Well, Taco Bell may be changing some of its menu to reflect that lower-than-acceptable level of beef in their beef. Apparently the (intrusive) bureaucrats insist on at least 40% beef in your "beef", and TB is sitting somewhere around 33-35%...

I'm liking their new attack strategy for combatting the lawsuit: "So, what's your beef?" ;)

Someone mentioned Tony Packo's...

Now that's a product I have never really had, only heard about...and I've bought their canned hot dog chili when I could get it here in town. But at least I've heard of it. If I hadn't recently been to Knott's I would never have heard of that other place.

Anyway, I think for the DQ to be successful, it needs to be open LATE. I mean, it needs to be open not until an hour after the park closes, but until an hour after the traffic jam clears. Given that DQ requires a much smaller staff than the pizza place did, or for that matter even than either Coasters or Hardees did...maybe they'll do it right this time.

DQ is lame... perpetrating chocolate ice cream is just doctored up vanilla.
