Ray Rice Would Not Recommend Green Bay As Travel Destination

[Pugger]

If you want good dining in GB don't go to the chains. The best prime rib in town is at Highland Howie's. This place is a sports bar with more than just burgers and wings on the menu. The Black and Tan in DePere is pretty good too. Eve's in Allouez is another good place for steak. We try to visit these places when my hubby and I are in town for the summer because it is almost impossible to get a decent steak down here.

Is this place any good?

You think there are good restaurants in GB and yet you state that all you like is a extremely limited menu. Most people like variety. You think there is an eskimo somewhere in the arctic thinking his village has great restaurants? All three make the best whale blubber ever. WHat more could you want?

A good point about preferences. I think most people actually want the limited menu mentioned. And that is what causes confusion and disappointment when it is not available. Its an adjustment, a change. And that makes people uncomfortable. Which leads to McDonalds selling its 40 Trillionth burger.

The Packers are there, and that's almost enough to make it habitable. Almost.

If I were saavy on such things I'd change my avatar right now!

I was actually referring to restaurant choice and not an actual individual restaurant menu.

My brother is very meat and potatoes kind of guy. He visited me on Kodiak Island one year and I pulled in a crab pot and had 2 - 10lb King Crabs that got boiled within 20 mins of coming out of the pots. If you have ever had extremely fresh king crab, you have no idea. (back me up on this Freakout) My brother? Wouldn't even try it, he had a PBJ instead.

As I tell his kids, you eat the same foods as your Dad, try something else. If your Dad didn't like Brats, you would never have had them either. Think - based on your Dad's decision, you might never have enjoyed the pleasure of a good brat. There maybe foods out there that you like even better, but you will never know unless you try them. Only recently have they started trying other stuff.

I haven't had the pleasure (though I would love to), but I can certainly vouch for that being true of lobster. It's wonderful fresh from the ocean (and right now it's relatively cheap too). But I can also vouch for the unadventurous kids thing. My sister was visiting me from southwestern Wisconsin with her two daughters a few years ago; her girls were probably late in middle school then. I took them to my favorite lobster shack down on the Maine coast. In spite of urging from my sister, my wife and me to try lobster, my nieces not only didn't do that; they wouldn't even order any other seafood. They both ordered...chicken fingers.

Good call. They are pretty similar. Both are right around 100,000 in population, relatively boring, and both have bad weather. Only difference is Pueblo is too hot in the summer, GB is too cold in the winter. And Pueblo doesn't have the greatest football franchise of all time.

Rome just ripped on Rice as well. Sometimes I feel as if he is a Packer fan deep down. The man has had AR on 57 times.

Yeah, but Pueblo produces a hell of a government pamphlet!

Pueblo (whoever he is) ain't got nothing on Thomas Paine.
