I'm sad...

My most favorite restaurant of all time closed today! Forever! A friend, whom I haven't seen in three months, and I were going out... she asked where I wanted to go, and I said Yoken's, of course. Then she told me they closed their doors forever today at 2pm... if anybody here is from the NH area and didn't have the Yoken's experience, you missed out on alot! They had the best clam chowder in the world! :( Sorry guys... I'm still in denial and there's nobody home to complain to :cry:

I hate when that kind of stuff happens! sorry!

Know how you're feeling there.

I miss MamaKwans . . . even though I've only eaten there once. Man the spicy PadThai was about the best damn dish I think I have ever had.

And round here is pretty much a wasteland for genuinely good eats (except Shogun of course)

And I miss Naomi's Kitchen, kosher Mediterranean cuisine in a mostly Latino area didn't last long, but it was good while we had it!

we used to have the best little place right next to my office. i swear we went there for lunch two or three times a week it was so good. there was nothing better than their homemade biscuit sandwiches or handpicked greens salads with homemade dressings. when they closed no one knew what to do for lunch for months.

I miss Unlcle Tuckers. Best pizza and home brewed beer anywhere! Sorry invadertoast.

mmm pizza and beer. i'm getting hungry. :P

Sigh... my second favorite restaurant (now my first...) is four hours away in Bongor Maine...ahhh Dysart's, the best truck stop in the world... ah well... gives me a bad excuse to drive to Canada more often... :)

My bumped up favorite is a place called "When Pigs Fly" :) They have pretty good ribs for not being in a rib area of the country!

I miss Skolnicks sandwich shop that place was fantastic! That's really the only heartbreaking closing of an eatery that comes to mind aside from Lindie Gerties (chili there was magnificent)

Lindsay - you know of any good Mexican food places in NH? I know the concept is oxymoronic, but at least worth asking.

Sorry K... I'm not a fan of Mexican, lol, I'm a seafood and burger girl :) Only Mexican places I've been to are Baja Fresh (which I don't think counts... ) and Alcopulco's in Beverly... but that's down here in Mass... but it was really, really, really good! And this is coming from someone who won't even eat Tostitos :)

Well, being that I am in the middle of the stick's, there are no resteraunts so none can be closed. But right now if you would ask my son that recently joined the Marines....Dad's kitchen is the one that he misses...
I use to travel 1 1/2 hours to eat at Schalaski's (sp) best sour dough and deli meat sandwhich that I have ever eaten and they have shut down (not the chain, just this particular store) so I guess that's the one I miss.

Ironhead .. if you traveled 1.5 hours for a sandwich .. it better have been the best thing you've ever eaten ;)

(EDIT i'd drive a couple hours for Mama Kwans easy ;) )

are you talking about schlotsky's? they're good but i wouldn't be driving and hour and a half for it!

To each his own. I've driven 2.5 hours to get Bojangles and buy produce not available locally. I was so happy when we got Bo back here. :) I wouldn't drive 2 minutes to get to Schlotsky's but I understand exactly where Carl is coming from. When ya gotta have, ya gotta have. :mrgreen:

Yeah....that's the place. They are deffinetly not the same as they were back in the late 70's early 80's when I use to eat there all the time when I lived in Texas, but like Marla said...to each his own...I just happen to LOVE them.
Actually the 1 1/2 hour trip was to do shopping (usually Christmas shoppin) but I used the shopping excuse just so I could go eat there.

We used to have a great restaurant called The Ground Round in Buffalo, but they closed. They had a real movie screen in there that they showed classic cartoons on, and free popcorn, and when I was young I remember they gave out free balloons. A shame they're gone. :cry:
