Correct me if I'm wrong, but since Wheel airs almost exclusively in early prime time (7-8 PM), I believe it isn't eligible for a daytime Emmy. Jeopardy! can slide by because it airs in afternoons in some markets (it's been on at 3:30 PM here in Chicago forever).

Under the Daytime and Primetime Emmy rules, "daytime" is defined as 2 AM to 6 PM, except for game shows, which must compete in the Daytime Emmys if they air between 2 AM and 8 PM. Game shows that air between 8 PM and 2 AM are only eligible to compete in the Primetime Emmys.

If a show is aired both in both the daytime and primetime segments in different parts of the country, it competes in the awards for the time period in which it airs to more than 50% of the households in the U.S.

And if a game show airs in more than 50% of the country, but not 50% in either daytime or primetime (say, 40% in daytime and 30% in primetime), it can enter either awards.

And yes, I've made the trip just to have lunch.[/quote]
And the drive would be well-worth it. Thankfully, I have two within five minutes of my house. Not that I'm bragging or anything. :-)[/quote]
I was in Center City Philadelphia for a job fair not too long ago and was thrilled that the location was right across the street from Reading Terminal Market, thinking that I would probably grab lunch there. I went to Chick-Fil-A instead; I do not regret the decision.

What does a sack of ten White Castles go for, anyhow? Always been curious and I've never been remotely close to one. Sadly the entirety of my experience with them has been out of the freezer section of the grocery, which I'm sure is a pale comparison to the real deal.

I specifically stopped in Akron for an early lunch on a road trip last year, so that I could have White Castle... I have to be honest, didn't really enjoy the sliders. Is it an acquired taste?

I don't know about anyone else, but those go through me faster than a speeding bullet. I had heard, although don't know if it's true, that those burgers have a high fiber content?

Two places I really want to try soon.[/quote]You've got a Chick-Fil-A close to you over in WDM. The In-N-Out may be a mite harder.

Tried Waffle House for the first time yesterday when in St. Louis. Not bad at all for the price.

I live in Chick-fil-A country myself.

In-N-Out will be something I'll have to try if I ever get to go on Jeopardy!

Since when is being booked for J! a prerequisite for trying an In-N-Out burger?

They never had an effect on me, but when I was in college, all my New Yorker friends called them "murder burgers" for that reason. Never heard about fiber content.

And I tried In-N-Out on my L.A. excursion last year. Good stuff, but I'm still a Whataburger man. :-)

/We really did just threadjack for fast food. :-P

About $5, plus tax.

I recommend Five Guys. Pricey ($10 for a burger, fries, and drink), but good and there's a lot of it. Never done White Castle, In-N-Out, or Jack's. Namely because there are none even remotely close to me.

/Second thread derailed by a burger discussion.

Thirded. Five Guys just hit the east side of Cleveland in the past 6 weeks.

And a 10-pack of White Castle sliders run about $6.40 here....not that I've ever bought a 10-pack of sliders. I had to get fries with it.

Why anybody would waste their time eating fries in a White Castle/Krystal situation is beyond me. Amazed they even offer the choice.

I mean a drink? Sure. But anything else takes too much away from the experience.

Or some Chicken Rings.
