    What's the farthest you would drive for food?

    How many minutes maximum would you drive to get a particular food that you really like and are craving, for example if you are craving In N Out burgers, or sandwiches from a particular place, or steak from a particular place, how many minutes max would you drive for it?

    10 min? 15 min? 30 min? Also, mention if it's round trip time or one-way
    for example, 15 min to the restaurant and 15 minutes back.

    What is the most minutes you would drive?

    Or you can answer in how many miles total you would drive (back and forth).

          Wow... that's far.

          Sometimes I am craving certain dishes bad but the restaurants I like are around 15-20 min away (total drive time would be around 30min or more depending on traffic) from me and I already think that's far! Many times I just get too lazy and forget about it.

              Depends on how far away from food I was.

                                  If it's outside a thirty-minute radius from my apartment, the purpose of my trip's the destination (or the trip itself), and food matters are secondary.

                                      I flew with my girlfriend to Chicago to eat basically. She still has some friends there, but family is all in AZ. I've never eaten so much food in my whole life.

                                              Well I have to say that there is nothing that I crave that my grocery store doesnt carry.. so I have to say 1 mile round trip, 5 minutes max, heh. Nutty, but true. I just dont eat out whatsoever.

                                                  I have driven there and back just to eat. (approx 400 miles each way)

                                                              I have flown to places just for the food. Driving 1-3 hours one way for an amazing restaurant and atmosphere is worth every penny. Then again, often following a great dinner is time out on the town.

                                                                          I was talking about Russian River Brewing Company. Vinnie makes a few great Belgian-style beers up there: Pliny the Elder, Temptation, Supplication... definitely worth a stop if you find yourself local... just don't plan on having more than a couple if you're on your bike - they're stronger than the average brew.

Vinnie makes a few great Belgian-style beers up there: Pliny the Elder, Temptation, Supplication... definitely worth a stop if you find yourself local... just don't plan on having more than a couple if you're on your bike - they're stronger than the average brew.

I had a couple that drove 45 miles every Saturday morning for my pancakes. I always figured they were bullshitting me and they had some other reason for driving into town on Saturdays. Then a few months after I quit that job I stopped by there one weekend and the waitress told me that couple stopped coming in the weekend after I stopped working there (as did many of the other 'regulars'). About a month after that they went out of business.

Nutty, but true. I just dont eat out whatsoever.
                                                                                                                      Yeah, I only ever eat out if I am out of town somewhere. There is nothing that I can't make better than some restaurant with the right ingredients. That being said, I will go 10-15 miles to various grocery stores to get certain things (bean sauce for General Tso, veal for veal parmigiana, etc.). Oh, and sometimes I have friends mail me stuff that I just can't get here. For instance, my friend in Memphis sends me a bunch of Corky's BBQ sauce when I'm in need.

It all depends on what I want and how badly I want it. I can recall times we drove for 2+ hours to get a simple sandwich. So if there was something we were really craving we could create an entire weekend of it. Drive up 4 hours, get a hotel, take in some sights and feed our fat-person's craving.

                                                                                                                                                                  I lived behind Freebirds for 2 years. And I hate to be THAT guy, but it used to be WAAAAAYYYY better. Or maybe I just got old.

                                                                                                                                                                  And yes, while SB has NO shortage of excellent cuisine of every style and price range, and enough restaurants to eat lunch somehwere different for 2 years straight, sometimes you just crave a burrito AND crinkle cut fries.

                                                                                                                                                                  When I moved to LA, there were a few places in SB that I'd drive to just for food as well.
