What's your favorite restaurant?
For fine dining - I like the Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse in Denver, Colorado (there are others I'm sure are just as good.)
For grazing - I like the Pappas' family restaurants - Pappasitos, Pappadeauxs, etc.

If you ever get to Tampa, go to Burns Steakhouse. You will be impressed.

Conroy Grill, Schofield Barracks. This was an AAFES facility, but when you walked in you saw a typical glass door refer unit that most stores put beer and soda in, this one had sides of beef hanging in it. The best burgers I ever had, the best breakfast ever(the sausage was unfriggin real), and the best pizza I ever had outside of NY. Those ladies could cook in that place.

The Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead here in Atlanta. Hands down the best restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of eating at.
Mortons of Chicago for steaks and OUTSTANDING wine selection.
Best Mexican--Miguels in Coronado on Orange Ave, best Mexican food I have ever eaten.
Corfu and Rhodes Greece, best Gyros on the planet.
Almost forgot .....Carmines on 42nd and Broadway in New York City, best Italian food I have ever eaten.

Hmmm...I don't know the name of it, but it was a restaurant in Stockholm that served me the first real meal I had after taking the train from Beijing to St. Petersburg. Best food I ever ate.
Best shwarma ever is at Bahrain House near the souk.
But for overall fine dining it a tie between L'Espalier in Boston's Back Bay or whatever Ritz my cousin is working at at the time.

Gypsy, I like your choices.
When I'm in Chicago, I make it a point to go to Rosebud (awesome fusilli ala carbonara), Gibsons (for steak of course and you gotta like their dessert portions  ), and Carsons (for ribs, the outstanding potatoes au gratin, and the Chocolate Blackout cake) . Getting hungry just thinking about it!

and tender as warm butter.

Couldn't tell you anything about the food, other than they
have some. The Tequila is great
Heading to a Tequila tasting event this week. 100 different kinds.
Wonder if I will remember any of them?
