Who has the best...?
Last year was our first trip to the OBX and I visited this board in advance and got some really good tips and advice - THANK YOU! Somone did a post last summer where you could submit who you thought had the best burgers, pizza, buffet, etc. and it was SO helpful. We ate at places that were recommended and didn't get surprised by "YUCK - well we learned not to go there next year." So how about it?
