Off the beaten path restaurants?

[Swankalicious]

A while back, Slim and another Hound (sorry, name escapes me) posted a wonderful compendium of down-and-dirty, cheap, off-the-beaten-path, authentic eats in a variety of genres. I cannot for the life of me find the thread. If someone could repost/link me to it, I would be most grateful. Thanks!

I LOVE those threads.
