I think I actually posted about it in this forum. Back in September, I (thought I) needed to do a mileage run to maintain silver with DL (need those free bags!). Moving out to SLC my dad and I were both upgraded so we saved a few hundred dollars on baggage fees that way, so this trip was, in essence, "paid for." I ended up flying SLC-MSP-DFW-ATL-SLC with just over three hours in Dallas, where I rented a car for $14.99 from Hertz and went to Hard Eight BBQ in Coppell. I returned to the airport an hour or so later with a duffel bag stuffed with ~$70 worth of kick-... pit barbeque (ribs, sausage, chicken, etc., etc.). It was delicious and I wouldn't mind doing it again

I almost went to some burger place in MCI (or ICT?... I forget which) until I realized that I have (probably) better burgers here in SLC anyway.

I am about due for another run.
Oh man, if my home wasn't actually in NYC then I'd be posting the same thing as you. They have so many good things but their babka is such a treat!
