Your favorite restaurants?

Motorboat Cruiser · 05-30-2006, 09:19 PM

I saw this topic on another board and was somewhat mortified by more than a few of the answers (Applebees?????). I thought if I posed the question here, there might be some more interesting responses.

So, what are your favorite restaurants/places to eat? Maybe we can all learn of some new swanky places. I'll start by posting my response to the original thread.

(in no particular order)

El Tepeyac - Los Angeles, CA (Mexican)
Gallagher's - Las Vegas, NV (Steakhouse)
Peter Luger's - Brooklyn, NY (Steakhouse)
Genkai - Dana Point, CA (Sushi)
Eddie's - Ronkonkoma, NY (Pizza)
Anchor Bar - Buffalo, NY (Buffalo wings)
Thai This - Dana Point, CA (Thai)

T.G.I. Friday's

okay, here's my real answer-

BOMA (that's vote number two)
Mr. Souvlaki (in Tarpon Springs FL, one of many great Greek eateries)
Amura (Japanese, in Orlando)
There's a real good Indian place here but I don't know the name of it. (little help, MF?)
The Shed (Santa Fe, NM)
Taco Sal (Albuquerque NM)

I miss The Shed so much, I just yesterday ordered two jars of red enchilada sauce from them online. Can't wait!
