I was reading local restaurant reviews. Someone mentioned driving 2 1/2 hrs. to go to Southern Kitchen in New Market,VA. Anyone on here drive that far to get perfect fried chicken? Or whatever your favorite meal is?

Just realize that what may be a great meal for someone else, you may not agree
Me thinks that unless you find yourself in the area then try it. But a 5 hour round trip is not worth it.

But having said that, there are two great sites for checking out.
1. ). Yelp
2 .). Trip advisor

There are just too many to list....
I have driven 5 hours round trip to meet with friends for a meal, several times.

More for the friends than the meal, but I would probably do a day trip for good food.

I regularly make a 1.5 hour round trip drive for my favorite Mexican restaurant once a month.

I wouldn't do a 5 hr round trip though. There would have to be more involved than fried chicken :)

I do a 5 hour round trip daily for work. Well, I do when I'm not out of work due to a government shutdown that is.

I know a guy (former co-worker) that commutes 142 miles per day. He put 412k miles on a Toyota Corolla before it went kaput! The Lexington Herald was doing stories on high mileage vehicles .... along with other stories, they featured a photo of his Odometer and a short narrative about his vehicle... back in about 1999-2000. He's nearing retirement .... said he'd probably miss the drive!:D
