How many have you dined in ?

hollywood · October 7, 2002

Looks like about 18 under the criteria set forth. I think there are other clubs I'd rather be a member of--mile high club, etc.

=Mark · October 7, 2002

I've eaten at several dozen regions within Monmouth County, NJ...

How many points does Chinatown in NYC get?

=Mark · October 7, 2002

-- and I can't believe you get two points for St. Martin and St. Maarten but the entire continental United States counts as one.

What about Antarctica? They divide it into 9 regions. I guess this means there are 9 separate and unique Antarctician cuisines...

"I believe I'll have the Penguin braised in a reduction of melted snow..."

Uh - Mark, what's a region? I'm familiar with towns within a county, but can't quite figure out what a region is. :wacko:

I think there are other clubs I'd rather be a member of--mile high club . . .

Why ANYBODY would have as a life goal to have sex in some filthy, malodorous airplane toilet the size of a phone booth just boggles my mind. Join the "mile-high" club the easy way: drive to Denver and have sex in a hotel room! (Food's better in Denver, too.)

I have only visited twelve regions on the list. And as far as eating seriously in them: only one, the US.

How about a more interesting question, mostly for our US posters: how many STATES have you eaten SERIOUSLY in? (Count Puerto Rico as one, and the US Virgin Islands, and DC.)

I've only eaten seriously in

Ohio

Indiana

Texas

Oklahoma

South Dakota

Pennsylvania

Minnesota

Missouri

Louisiana

Alabama

Georgia

Arkansas

Mississippi

oh, and Washington, of course.

(Refuelling stops not counted. :biggrin: )

Wilfrid · October 8, 2002

Oh, that's a good one, Deacon. I have only spent a few years in the States, but in addition to New York I have eaten "seriously"* in:

Louisiana

South Carolina

Washington

California

Illinois

Minnesota

I don't think having a couple of good dinners counts as eating seriously, but if it did, I would add Washington DC, Philadelphia, Kansas, Texas and Georgia.

Hmmm, I have a lot of catching up to do. :hmmm:

Deacon · October 8, 2002

* "seriously" = have eaten at least one gourmet meal in the state. Attempts to get the "regional" or "local" flavor of the state also count. What I wouldn't count is a meal in an airport coffee shop while waiting for a plane, or a meal at some national chain by the side of the highway, or something similar. :smile:

researchgal · October 8, 2002

US

Who said anything about the rest room?

GordonCooks · October 8, 2002

Only 3 Countries for me

United States

Canada

New Jersey

My trip to London will be my first time in Europe

Wilfrid · October 8, 2002

No, forget it, I'm repeating myself.

hollywood · October 8, 2002

No, forget it, I'm repeating myself.

You should eat more slowly and thoroughly chew your food. You're welcome.

Miguel Gierbolini · October 8, 2002

This thread is still alive?

Let's see

Mexico, USA, Canada.

Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas (does this count?), Anguilla, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Maarten (I can't count this as two, sorry), St. Barts, Dominica.

England, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Russia, Estonia (or wherever Tallin is), Germany and Denmark.

I am only missing all of South America, all of Asia, all of Africa, all of the Pacific Islands, Australia and Antartica. That's all. :huh:

Well, Middletown is a region. Can't point to any real town to speak of. Same with Ocean Township, Tinton Falls, West Long Branch, Rumson, Elberon, Scobeyville Reeveytown, etc.

Now Red Bank, there's a town! And Freehold, Long Branch Asbury park... :wink:

gknl · October 8, 2002

States are:

California

Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana (all one trip)

:biggrin: Okay, you've got me there. No credit for using the john for your erotic assignation. Extra points for coitus while standing up in the aisle. Further extra points for coitus with stewardess while standing in the aisle. And for sex in the cockpit with the pilot--well, you win the prize. . . .

This is a puerile and undignified game and I will have no part of it.

Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Ecuador, UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Italy, Egypt.

I have heard of the Century Club, but this is the first time I have seen their web site. Thanks to some very active traveling over the years due to business, here is my list (per TCC's qualifications). Asterisks indicate countries where I have not had meals.

Australia

Guam

Hawaiian Islands

Alaska

Canada

Mexico

US

Costa Rica

Guatemala

Argentina

Brazil

Chile

Colombia

Peru

Venezuela

I think it totals 78 or so. I don't consider myself a "tourist" and see little sense in the Century Club and even if I had 200, would not consider joining such a club. I hadn't really thought about it until I read this posting. Would not consider a cruise except one or two (I did one to Alaska and would consider one in Norway).

Interesting to think of the best and worst meals - had some very bad ones and some absolutely wonderful ones as well. Worst - Senegal - some form of rodent stewed with a very strong taste and many small bones.

Too many to mention wonderful ones.

However, some of what they consider as countries are skewed
←

They cite their criteria for consideration as a "country" here.

25 thanks to 11 months wandering around Europe in a hedonistic daze.

By the way, don't click on the link in the original post unless you want to enter popup hell-- fuckers. :angry:

dls · March 3, 2005

Odd club but great scam. Initiation fee of $100 + $40 annual fee. What do you get once you've paid to join? Nothing, it appears, other than a membership card. I'm once again reminded that I may be in the wrong business.

That said, I could not resist. Thanks to 4 years in the Air Force, many years of international business travel, and an ongoing quest for something new and different have qualified - 103. No wonder Im so tired.

Think I'll save the money for something else.
