junebugz Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm a big fan of high end steak houses, and the best I've been to are as follows:Smith and Wolinski's - NY 1288725[/snapback] good info here got one of those down in Columbus at Easton ... very good eats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm a big fan of high end steak houses, and the best I've been to are as follows: Gibson's - Chicago, IL 1288725[/snapback] This place is fantastic. They have a seasonal lobster tail that is a pound and a half of the most tender sweetest tail you'll ever eat. Their desserts are of enormous proportions. My favorite steak house Uncle Julio's Hacienda, also in Chicago has fantastic mexican. I always get the same thing, steak fajitas (1lb double order), which are the best I've had. But what makes this place stand out is the amazing salsa that is bottomless while dining in. These are my two favorite restaurants where if I had the money, I'd go to each every other day.

Thankfully they just built another one near Oak Brook so I don't have head into the city. Another Mexican place that has melt-in-your-mouth fajitas is Papasitos. I always head there when I visit my bro in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big F'n Dave Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 The best meal I ever had was at Commander's Palace in New Orleans. Roasted quail stuffed with crawfish sausage. Bread pudding souffle with bourbon sauce for dessert. Absolutely out of this world. Of course, that was several years ago - before Jamie Shannon died. I heard Commander's had gone downhill markedly since then - even before Katrina. They serve a roast duck at a little Italian place in the Quarter called Irene's Cuisine that is phenomenal every time I have it. Fantastic wine list and ambiance. But the one place I hit every time I'm in New Orleans, and many of you have heard me talk about it before, is Uglesich's. Simply put, the best seafood you'll find anywhere.

Commander's had gone downhill in recent years but is still comparitively one of the best restaurants around. I believe there is one in Vegas now as well. Uglesich's is top notch. Another to try...Dookie Chase's...but don't walk. I don't care how F'n big you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 sunday.... when i think of zaidy's, i think about ny jewish deli (ie: corned beef, pastrami, etc)... really haven't had decent corned beef sandwiches out here.... as far as "deli"....... i am sure there are good italian deli's around.

TDFFFreak Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Victoria & Albert's, Grand Floridian Hotel, Walt Disney World. Hands down. 1283420[/snapback] Couldn't agree more. It is easily on my top 5 best meals I've ever had list. I guess it sticks out in my mind a little bit more because it's Disney World-- not the place you think of when thinking of fine dining. Loved the food (had a great buffalo app and every other course was wonderful). The service was fantasic too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Short list of great meals I had off the top of my head: The aforementioned Victoria and Albert's Mama's Fish House (maui) Roy's (Maui) PF Changs (good chineese from a chain) Maestros' Steakhouse (in Los Angeles, but also in Phoenix) Cowboy Chow (Phoenix) Crazy Fish (Cheaper Sushi in LA, but very good) Soupplantation (best salad bar buffet) Bradley Ogden (Las Vegas $$$$, but so good and original) Pomodoro (Los Angeles, tiny corner Italian place in Westwood, but very reasonable and tasty) Postrio (I think that's the name. Wolfgang Puck place in Vegas at the Ven) Saddle Peak Lodge (Los Angeles area, SM mountains-- great place for different kinds of game) Gilbert's (Mexican place in Santa Monica. Not a huge fan of Mexican, but this place is good) Aqua (I'll 2nd the few that have said this SF place. Excellent food) Would like to go to: French Laundry. I want to see if it really lives up to the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Roller Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 You forgot: BBQ: Gates 1288768[/snapback] Just had Gates' BBQ for the first time SuperBowl Sunday in KC. Monday nite went to Jack Stacks. Gates was the better. I'm no BBQ expert but the Gates appeared to be more "authentic". Everything served on Wonder Bread, lol.

ebartender Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 If any of you are ever in Philly, I strongly suggest Guido's in Northeast Philly. The best Italian restaraunt I have ever been to. The Northeast is not known for it restaraunts, but this place is a find. It is a very small place (a small house turned into a restaraunt). I just can't say enough about the place.
