The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
QUESTION: If you could pick one restaurant (either fast-food or sit-down) to bring to Claycord from out of our area, which one would you pick?
Talk about it….
Black angus or Arby’s
Scott’s seafood or Olive Garden as sit-ins…. fast food – Arby’s

Oh Please!!
We need our Applebees back!! My friends and I miss it so so much!!
The French Laundry. So I can get my wash done while eating dinner. and maybe say hello to the governor
I think they are going to re-brand as the French Toilet, hey hey.
Trader Joe’s
Barney’s Hambugers. The Bay Area’s best burgers, however Barney’s unfortunately does not have any locations east of The Caldecott Tunnel.
.
The Tilted Kilt.
.
… alternatively, Joe’s Crab Shack.
.
Sonics, not really for the food…those slushes are addictive

New Mecca
Cracker Barrel & Bob Evans
Patio Español. It’s a Spanish restaurant located on Alamany Blvd in San Francisco. Anybody that enjoys Mediterranean cuisine, would undoubtably enjoy the wonderful dishes of Spain.
H. Salt Esq. Fish & Chips!
Doggie Diner, and Senior Pico.
Doggie Diner for sure! Worked for them in the 60’s for two years before I was drafted. You don’t want to know how we made the chili……
do tell….
I am here because of the DD, my parents meet there in the 50s. The one on San Pablo Ave in El Cerrito.
Healthy smoothly/juice place with light bites. Not jamba though
Katsu Burger and Sushi (Seattle local chain)
Marie Callender..Hungry Hunter.., Elegant Bib
Anything with healthy food:
Hobee’s
Aqui
Years ago when l owned a Diet Center in San Bruno there was Hobee’s there, went there several times for lunch, good food.
The Melt. When l worked at Stanford Shopping center there were one. The have great grilled cheese sandwiches. Later on the added burgers, but a good burger is not that hard to find. A good and unusual grilled cheese sandwich is. I think there’s a Melt in Walnut Creek, but l would like one close to my work.
Texas Roadhouse. Not going to happen because would be too close to the other 3 within a 45 to 50 mile radius.
Portillos and Arbys
AD
Fast food: Jimboy’s
Sit down: Twin Peaks
None. Concord already has enought mediocre natonal chain food and death-in-a-bag fast food
Twin Peaks or Tilted Kilt.
Ba Le … Vietnamese samiches … and on the high end … Ippuku Japanese izakaya from Berkeley … and street food vendors … all of them from Southeast Asia … and 7-11 oden Tokyo style …
Hooters, and everybody knows why.
Yes, because the Twisted Texas Melt is delicious !

Still waiting for DOGDOG_DAD to fess-up on how DD’s chili was made…..
🙂
Sugar Plum Diner!!!!!!!! Colfax St concord.
White Castle
For fast food: Pick Up Stix. There once was one in the Clayton Valley Shopping Center, but the chain closed down most (if not all) of their Northern California locations. It is very good fast Chinese food, and is far superior to Panda Express.
For sit-down: Carmine’s. Unlikely to come to the East Bay because they are typically in high foot traffic areas (New York, Chicago, Vegas), but this is a small chain serving great Italian food family style.
