I finally remembered the name of the rib place Ghostrider! It's Famous Dave's. Mmm mmm good! But alas...they don't have the Chocolate Blackout cake.

I am a great fan of Korean style barbeque ribs. To that end, I believe that the best restaurant is in Pyongtaek, Korea. It is called "Urijong". There is not a direct english translation, but the GIs have coined a name for it. It is well known as "The Happy Cow". The signs outside the restaurant have a cartoonish picture of a smiling cow; hence the nickname.

In addition to the fabulous food that they serve, it's one of those places where the food is cooked at your table. They have a place in the center of the table where the charcoal is placed, and either the patron can cook (which is what I like to do), or one of the waitresses will take care of it. Therefore, the food is fresh, hot as you want it, and cooked to one's exact taste. As well, as is with traditional Korean cooking, there are about thirty little extra bowls that come with the meal. Rice, Kimchi (four to six variants), fresh cut garlic, fresh cut green peppers, spiced vegetables, Korean style salad, hot pepper paste, and lots more.

It is a great place to eat and a fine night out. I've found a couple of places in the States that come close, but none so good as Urijong.

That all you can eat Chineese place on Yadkin/Ponderosa Shopping Center. 3 years later Im still having cravings for their Pork Fried Rice.

2d place is the Papa Chano's chain restaurants in California. Great Fajitas.

3d is Chicken and Rice MRE.

In case you couldnt tell, Food is not something I like to spend alot of money on.

There were two Korean barbecue places straight out of the front gate at Atsugi NAS: the Red Cow (red sign) and the Blue Cow (blue sign). The Blue Cow was better, but occasionally off limits to military.

Any place Italian. Bella Isola in Anacortes, WA is one of my favorites.

Any Mexican place that makes their own flour tortillas. My favorite in San Antonio was Tios on Bandera. I love their chicken chili rellenos and they do great breakfasts.

The best steak I ever had was down in the stockyards in Kansas City.

It's hard to pick just one because I love food in general, but one of the most unique has to be the Garlic Restaurant in Tokyo. Everything on the menu has garlic. They do two seatings a night, the whole restaurant orders, and then they start cooking. Whatever gets ordered the most gets cooked first. Note: if you don't like garlic, don't go.

Excellent choice...but next time try Gibson's. Simply fabulous.

I went to both Morton's and Gibson's in Chicago, and I have to say that was the best food that I have had so far on this planet. The service was superb, and the food.....ah, well. I can't wait to go back.

Also, Gene and Georgetti's - Chicago. I wonder if that is still there.

We stayed at the Omni Hotel and visited these establishments in three consecutive nights.

Simply heaven.

Johnny's Steakhouse in Cleveland comes a close second.

That would be the Golden Ox, you can see the Kemper Arena from the parking lot.

Agreed, a GREAT steak.

Minamoto Sushi Restaurant, Kyoto. If you tell them what you want in Japanese and prove that a white devil can consume a massive amount of fish, they give you amazing prices, food, and presents at the end.

The sushi there was amazing. The Nigiri-Toro melts in the mouth.

That's it. I couldn't remember the name, but I know how to get there. They used to let you choose your steak. I don't know it they still do -- I haven't been for a few years.

I went to Morton's in Palm Desert. I was not impressed whatsoever. I am all for good food regardless of the price, but I have eaten far better food for 1/3 the price. Don't ask me to pay those prices because it's trendy and "the place to be".

We have a Korean here set up the same way in the 'burbs that an old friend of mine took me to...it was awesome. He was former Army and spent a bit of time in Korea. I loved it.

Sigi...yes G and G's is still here...on Franklin.

eyes...I've been to St. Elmo's the filet there is very good. Gibson's would still be my fav though.

Here in Fort Worth, Boi Na Braza is a great place for all-you can eat portions of great cuts of meat. In Dallas, Tokyo One is a good sushi place. My favorite Hole in the wall is a place called Benito's in the Diamond Hill part of north FTW. They have great Lengua burritos and other Mexican dishes that are hard to find.

No Fish sauce to be found

Uhhh, no offense bro, but there is no good Tex-Mex where you are.

For Tex-Mex: Chuys - steak burrito with hatch green chile sauce or 911-Plate.

For Cajun: Ragin' Cajun
