SivaGanesha 2 #1 July 3, 2009 Which DZ would you say has the best food? I was impressed with the food at Skydance at the American Boogie. There are too many DZ's to really create a poll on this but I just wondered if any DZ had a reputation for especially good food."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BikerBabe 0 #5 July 3, 2009 Since i started jumping at Perris 5 years ago, the Bombshelter has gone from poor to excellent. Probably has something to do with hiring a real chef and a real restaurant manager, but i could be wrong. But i think the best food i had was at Skydive Chicago. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last night, however, some seriously, tenderly and lovingly cooked brisket along with three magnificently rubbed and fried turkeys provided by Gary Schneider's father.

There are too many DZ's to really create a poll on this but I just wondered if any DZ had a reputation for especially good food. Scotty Carbone is a decent cook. I'd guess that wherever he now hangs his hat (Skydive America?) is good. For really good eats you'll want one of the few drop zones close to a city with enough people and money for fine dining for which I'd nominate Mile Hi Skydiving in scenic Longmont, CO just 12 miles down Diagonal Highway from Boulder. Inside of 20 minutes you should be parked and at places like L'Atelier (modern French, exceptional), Sushi Tora (with tasty selections flown in from the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo like eel in a bucket you have things you can't even get on the Pacific coast. Sushi quality is usually better too), or the Walnut Brewery (They'll serve you a genuine draught cask ale pint with a side of salmon fish and chips. Real beer doesn't come from a gas pressurized tap). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #20 July 6, 2009 SDC has excellent food again, Allan and Nicole do a fine job. Back when Tim ran the cafe people were always asking, what's for dinner? I think the food is once again getting back to that level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
