OnsenMark Best? That depends on the con. I only go to three currently, so... Katsucon: Nando's, hands down. Potbelly is pretty good. The food options inside the Gaylord proper are kind of meh, so... yeah. Your mileage may vary. Otakon: Now that I've found the one in Baltimore, Nando's. Royal Farms has pretty good fried chicken for a convenience store. Five Guys, but that's a given. If you take the Charm City Circulator's Orange bus, you should be able to get off near the Blue Moon Cafe -- definitely worth it, as their breakfasts are pretty good. Pricey, but good. Nekocon: Waffle House, McDonalds, KFC are pretty good and kinda close to the con venue. Golden Corral is good for post-con fooding.
Thanks for sharing. I think that it's interesting & informative finding out where to go for food at different cons. I have to admit I haven't heard about Nando's before. What kind of food do they serve their? |

It's a chicken joint, but they do it with some sort of African/Portugese spice mix or something. 's good stuff.

During the con, to get a fast eatings in, I'd go to Subway and Mcdonalds or buy pocky for somewhere or take some of my friends homemade food whee . The con I've only been to is Fanime so my list is very short, and really, their cheap food is limited unless you want to pay an arm and a leg for something inside or you don't mind long lines into fast food restaurants (which was a problem for me since I barely eat fast food but i compromised). Though last year I couldn't help but live off of the coffee stand inside the center. emotion_facepalm
That's nice of your friends to have homemade food for you. A couple of times I made sandwiches to eat later. I'm not crazy about eating fast food but sometimes I do need something to keep my energy level up. Also I have been at cons that have had fancy or expensive restaurants in them and quickly turn away because I would rather spend my money on stuff in the dealers room. A Maid Cafe I found out is not the place to go to if you are hungry, Their portions are not too big. I go to a Maid Cafe for the experience instead.
Yeah I went there expecting to pay for dinner. However, sandwiches would've been a better option, the problem we ran into was that the food they brought usually is eaten hot, and so it was room tempurature/cold since there were no microwaves or ovens or anything around for us to heat the food up with. emotion_sweatdrop
I'm the same way. I have a tight pocket months prior to a con because i'm saving up for the dealer's hall. I hate seeing something that I could afford hours before but I can't buy it later bc I blew it on food/gaming/or something else. Maid cafes yeah, I'd imagine so! I thought they just give you tea. xD I wanted to go to the maid cafe but the line was too long, it was out the hotel doors where it was held and to be honest, by that time of day my patience was thin.

As for Maid Cafe's their is a thread in this guild where I talk more about my experiences with them. For $7 I got a small deli roll, a couple pieces of fruit, and a small piece of cheese cake. Once we sat down with our food we were served coffee or tea. I did like the fact that their was 16 types of tea to pick from. My brother was upset because he expected more in the way of food. The con tried a line first for the Maid Cafe and then changed it into signing up for a reservation instead which worked out much better. Instead of waiting in line for hours my brother and I had tickets which we used later on. I did have fun with the Maid Cafe experience in general but I had to go somewhere else to eat afterwards. |
