Favorite Restaurant of all time

[NorthSider2]

What is everyone's favorite restaurant?

I personally like Hickory House Ribs out in Colorado. Best ribs I have ever had.

[Tavish]

Arthur Bryant's (although it is slightly over-rated) and The Golden Ox.

[Yoda]

Mac Donald's

[Metroid]

Anywhere that serves beer.

Not much selection where I live so I'll have to go with Ponderosa, its a middle class steakhouse and I also love Padrones. Small italian eatery omg the breadsticks are so good.

My wife and I every year go to a resort called Queen's Landing just for the restaurant. Their seared foie gras is amazing.

There's also also a Toronto restaurant called North 44 that's good. There was a famous chef Susur Lee who had a restaurant in Toronto called Susur but it just closed down and he's moved it to NY this year

Ruth's is a ripoff IMO. I've had way better steak at much cheaper places. For the money you spend, they are not worth it.

Any Restaurant So I Don't Have to Cook


I cook a LOT, and I don't usually cook small meals because I expect good food, so it's a main dish and a sauce and a side dish and a spice combo and bread and blah blah blah blah BLAH. I like cooking, but there are times when I'd just rather have a $5 sandwich than cook steak and shrimp, you know? But every time I go out, when I get that bill for $50 or whatever, I just think, "Man, I could have made this at home for less than half this!" and it sucks.

I don't have an all-time favorite restaurant simply because I'd list a ton. Right now, I'm really fancying French food and Cafe des Artistes in Hollywood is one of the better ones. Sometimes you'll find a celebrity here and there. One day, I spotted Denzel Washington while I had lunch there with a friend. I like the atmosphere there, especially the outdoor patio which is a bit hard to describe because it feels like a secluded French villa with a tropical greenhouse ambience about it. The food is wonderful. Authentic French, but with a Spanish/Moroccan twist. A bit pricey ($25 per plate roughly with entrees), but I don't find it outrageous although the only thing that's pricier than what I'd like is the beer. They have a massive wine list and so, this is more like a place you'd go for fine cuisine/fine wine and bring your honey along.
