I'm not here to bash New Hampshire, because I really love living here, and there are many fantastic perks to being a Granite Stater. However, there are so many restaurants that we don't have within our state's borders that the people of New Hampshire would LOVE. I think places just take a little longer to get up here. Look how long it took us to get a Whole Foods or a Trader Joe's. Just because we don't have something here now, doesn't mean we will never have it.

I love visiting different states to experience their local chains. For example, when one visits New Jersey, stopping at Wawa is a must (not a restaurant, I know, but Wawa is a place filled with joy and wonder, and their coffee is really good). When I was in Florida for an internship at Disney World, I was obsessed with BAHAMA BREEZE! They had this chicken with mango salsa that I still dream about. And if a state has a Cheesecake Factory, it's pretty much guaranteed I'm going there, because I love a restaurant that offers Thai lettuce wraps, pasta, burgers, and everything in between.

But imagine if all of the restaurants that we love in other places were right here in New Hampshire. Then we would NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE! I'm kidding... or am I?
