I will be in Charlotte for a few days, and I am interested in finding the best authentic, hole-in-the-wall, east coast bbq experience. Pork, vinegar, cole slaw, mac & cheese, sweet tea.....all the goodness.

I have no problems with dives, greasy spoons, etc. as long as the staff knows what they are doing and the food is good.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Easy 10 points - Since I planned my party a month ago, the game time has changed twice. I am in the central time zone, and I am trying to figure out how early guests should arrive.

Thanks in advance for your help.

A group of us will be be staying in the Lake Buena Vista area for a conference, and we would love to know about some good local restaurants.

We would prefer a mom and pop Orlando original, not a national chain. Moderately priced to upscale fare is okay. Traditional steak and seafood cuisine would be optimal, but we are certainly open to other suggestions. We will have a rental car and are willing to travel a bit if the spot is worth the drive. The group will consist of about 6 folks just in case dining party size is an issue.

Thanks in advance for your help and guidance. Happy eating!

I have a super bowl party every year and my guests vote on the food theme. It looks like I will be having a nacho bar this year, so I would like to get some suggestions on some unique topping alternatives. The most creative and mouth-watering tip will get the points. Good luck and thank you in advance for your input!

PS - Obviously, I will be providing the basics - cheeses, jalapeno, sour cream, guacamole, etc., so please try to think outside of the box. -thanks!

I will be staying in the Galleria area this weekend, and my daughter and I would love to try a good Asian restaurant . It doesn't have to be a 5-star upscale establishment, as mom and pop, whole-in-the-wall dives are fine, too. However, it does need to be authentic, reasonably priced, and tastey (i.e. not one that serves enchiladas or mac & cheese on a buffet line). I know there are plenty of good options for Asian cuisine in Houston, but I want to know what some of the locals prefer. Thanks!

I will be in Houston on business this weekend and will be taking my 6 yr old daughter. I have heard about the Aquarium downtown and Hermann Park Zoo. Which of these would you recommend for a fun afternoon? I am also open to other suggestions. (we will be staying central between 610 and 59) Thanks!

I will be staying off of Central Expressway in Richardson and was wondering if their were any good Chinese restaurants in the area. I don't mind driving a little out of the way as long as it is easily accessible from the expressway. Also, I would prefer a traditional sit-down restaurant as opposed to a fast food/take-out type place. Thanks for your help!

10 points to the one who makes me chuckle.

Example: You mother is so black that when she gets out of the car the check oil light comes on.

Good luck!
