Response to our 10 favorite "flavors," i.e. eateries, dishes and specialty foods, made our mouths water. Our favorites included the City Market Building's International Food Court, Cheesy Westerns, Paul's gyros, peanut soup, Roanoke Weiner Stand dogs, Roanoker Restaurant's biscuits and gravy, Community School's strawberry shortcake, Tinnell's pimento cheese, Chuck's fish and Metro's sushi.

Yum. That list only whetted your appetite. On to the smorgasbord of e-mails!

Karyn McAden ate her way through Raleigh Court and beyond.

"You forgot to include the popcorn at the Grandin Theatre! Truly the best! Also, tater tots at the Community Inn ... sandwiches at Pop's (especially the one with artichokes; I don't remember the name) ... the Parthenon Wrap at Wildflour. ... The brownie sundae at Macado's is one of the best, because the brownie itself is great -- at other places, lots of times the brownie is blah."

Vinton's Colleen Dresser has a sweet tooth, too.

"Here's another favorite flavor to add to your list," she wrote. "Fantastic home-made fudge from Good Things on the Market. More than enough flavor choices (chocolate, peanut butter, maple, etc.) -- with or without nuts."

Even though we included the entire food court, Jimmy Srour wrote a passionate endorsement for the market building's "Falafel King," Adel Eltawansy, aka Zorba the Greek.

"[I] think it is critical and important to mention just [a] little bit about Zorba [the] Greek and Middle Eastern food ... almost every visitor ... has the opportunity to eat Zorba['s] delicious food ... you will recognize the place through the long line of people who are waiting for their food from Zorba."

Ah, leave it to Zorba.

Readers B. Wiseman and A.G. Caldwell drag raced down one of our favorite landmarks, Williamson Road, to get to the New Yorker Delicatessen.

"How could you snub the New Yorker?" Wiseman inquired. "The subs and sandwiches there puts these chain sub shops to shame."

You can't spell "snub" without "sub."

The New Yorker was the mustard on the Reuben for Jo Ann and Jimmy Michael, who also love the subs. They ventured beyond the city limits to recommend Carlos and Hollywood's. Coach and Four has the best Sunday lunch value, they said.

Coleman Gutshall is "grate"-ful for the cheese plate at Billy's Ritz.

"It is rare even today," Gutshall wrote, "when artisan cheeses are very much in vogue, to find a restaurant whose cheese selection is so sophisticated and diverse, even beyond Roanoke. I think that any list that tries to determine landmark dishes in the area should include Billy's cheese plate."

Some of you recommended restaurants at Smith Mountain Lake, which ain't exactly a taste of Roanoke, but we promise to eat our way, I mean make our way there soon.

Bon appetit, y'all!
