TimC Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 New York City. Them eye-talians can cook something good. My brother-in-law's brother is a NYC cop and took us to the non-tourist places that were delicious. There is a Manhattan Deli near work that some transplanted New Yorkers opened that I turned work on about and it's got the best pizza, subs, etc in town.

Furd Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I haven't been to all of those places. But it is difficult to fathom a better place than New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle LawDawg Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 jebus ther are butterburgers all over the f'n place now 1066184[/snapback] There's a butterburger place in Cheyenne, Wyoming. But there was a Hooters next door so I didn't try it. I'm sure there are more top-rated restaurants in New York than anywhere else. Still, I like the dining experiences available on the West Coast. I voted for San Fran but I never have a hard time finding a great place in Seattle. Seattle has the Northwest flavor with the Pan-Asian scene melded in. San Fran has the pan-asian scene but more of the other cuisines as well. Doesn't hurt that Napa's next door either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle LawDawg Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'd also put NOLA towards the top of the list. I appreciate eating in cities that have their own flavor and NOLA definitely has that. Many of the other places on the list simply have restaurants focusing on cuisines from the other places.

Not that I'm saying they're great or even good but good memories. 1066424[/snapback] Yeah, those are good as well. Carl's is a lot like Steak and Shake except the place only seats about 12 and they cook everything right in front of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got sidetracked with memories of poorer, student days. I really meant moderate to nice restaurants, say $20/person (without drinks/wine) and up.

American Bistro, Pan-Asian, French, Spanish Tapas, Middle eastern, cajun, etc? I've been to numerous restaurants across the nation and dine out frequently in St. Louis. Is St. Louis the culinary giant of the US? Probably not, but it does have an abundance and variety of fine dining establishments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
