hooked 0 #26 September 5, 2006 My favorite restaurant isn't a chain restaurant and it has the best food, it doesn't matter what you order it will be perfect. And if you like Oysters, than this is the place to go. It's the Brooklyn Seafood, Steak and Oyster House in Seattle. Kind of pricey. Their Salmon or Halibut are alder planked and the absolute best! -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

PLFXpert 0 #27 September 5, 2006 QuoteI think my favorite places are all hole-in-the-wall joints. Having been in LA for most of my life before (and even when I made some decent money) I never found the "great" restaurants to be particularly great. Expeinsive? Yeah. But the Water Grill and Pacific Dining Car, that kind of stuff with the 5-Star ratings, never did it for me Here is where I'll respectfully disagree. I, too, love hole-in-the-wall joints. But, I also appreciate that which can be more heavily priced. Ruth's Chris is often considered expensive, but it's the only filet I'll order/eat here where I live.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

misskriss 0 #39 September 5, 2006 I love to eat out and chains are fine but my favorites are those local places where everything is unique. The Hue is one of our favorite places to go here in Orlando. http://www.huerestaurant.com/aboutus.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #41 September 6, 2006 this is a tough one... I like a lot of places. I enjoy City BBQ, and I always like a good deli there was a place called Maximo's that was along I-75 between Macon and Atlanta where I would stop whenever I was making that circuit. I'll pretty much eat just about anything though...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #42 September 6, 2006 I'm not saying I don't eat at those places, or enjoy them. I do. However, none of those highly ranked restaurants are my favorites. I used to do happy hour all the tim eat McCormick & Schmick's and Nick & Stef's in downtown. Nick & Stef's has some nice aged steaks. They are good - they are what they are. But I found that quite often, people will eat at those places just to say they ate there. I am a simple man. Some have champagne wishes and caviar dreams. Mine dream are of beer and wings...

Shotgun 1 #46 September 6, 2006 Bangkok Chef in Temecula, CA. We eat there about once a week. They have the yummiest Thai food, and the owners are always friendly. Mmm, now I'm making myself hungry... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misternatural 0 #47 September 6, 2006 ok call me paranoid but ever since the time a chef was nervously watching me eat his preparation through a little window from the kitchen i have always been wary of "special ingredients" for me home grown home cooked & home brewed is best.

Slowfaller 0 #49 September 6, 2006 QuoteBonefish!! Their food is absolutely amazing! We love their bang bang shrimp. El Faro for a burrito For just food, Port Edwards in Algonquin, IL. Hands down best seafood I've ever eaten. For the whole dining experience, Geja's Cafe in Chicago. It's a fondu restaurant that's very romantic, Ginny and I enjoyed ourselves. Steak would be The Steak House at Circus Circus, Las Vegas.
