Yep, I was aware of that, just talking about the general trend, but oh well... we know they are backlogged and slower nowadays, but the denial trend could have improved :)

 

 

I am terribly curious as to why the denials occur. I have looked online for the top reasons and I just have a hard time picturing someone actually doctoring photos, paying the fee and actually thinking it will be approved. They might as well whip out their best crayons and make a sketch.

I tried Lexington Style BBQ when I went to visit Matt and it was pretty life changing. 

 

I even made him take me back to Little's Richard for Valentines Day and we are getting them to cater the wedding :rolleyes:

 

My 6 year old son is obsessed with Chik-fil-a, grilled cheese sandwiches from Cracker Barrel and Biscuitville.

How about Gigi's cupcakes? Twice I have brought them all the way from North Carolina to South Africa. The most recent time with a 12 hour layover in Paris . . . no, I didn't pull a Homer Simpson and eat them, not even a little, though it was tempting. :P

If you ever get out to Portland, we have some truly amazing food carts here.  They cluster a lot of them in "pods" so you have a pick of about 10 to 20 different kinds of food.

Can't say I'm missing the food there, but that's because I'm from the North of Spain, and we know our food business here :yes:

Good thing I'm not picky! :P

 

Texas Roadhouse is really good and I like Village Inn for comfort food any time of the day, specially when you are coming back after having a blast of a day and it's past 11pm. :rolleyes:

My stepmom is from Madrid and she would always say how bland American food was.

i can say that the best Paella I ever had was in Segovia, SP and ham sandwich in Villatobas.

All this food talk is making me very hungry.  

 

As @Mike & Tuyen said, we here in Portland have wonderful Food Cart Pods.  There is one in Downtown that is about 2 City blocks with I don't know how many food carts and the diversity of food choices is incredible.

Definitely! Beautiful green scenery and wonderful food. Friendly people, parties, fun activities, antique towns full of charm... I'll admit we are not the sunniest part of Spain, but it's worthy :D

 

(Talking about my region, Asturias, but it applies to all the North most likely).
