Your Favorite Restaurant
<div class="IPBDescription">What is it?</div> I'm running out of places to go/take people to and I was wondering if you guys would like to submit your favorite restaurants and why. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Since we all live all over, I suppose I should ask for a favorite chain restaurant and a favorite overall restaurant. I'll start it off.
Favorite chain restaurant: Bennigans. Their ribs are so tender, they just fall off the bones. Any attempt to cut them just gets tons of meat bit into the serrations of the knife. Such teh pwn.
Favorite overall restaurant: Gypsy's Italian Trattoria, in Berkeley. It's incredible Italian food at ridiculously low prices. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> And their pesto sauce is to die for.

They make the world's BEST meatlovers pizza. I swear to god this thing melts in your mouth.
And I live in Australia as well, so yeah.... I don't get to visit it much.
I live in the US so my restaurants are US ones.
I just came back from a family owned place called Mr. Powdrells -- amazing barbeque. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Firkin restaraunt chains. Why? Because they have NTN. (National Trivia Network) played on screens, at the end of a game, the scores are taken into play with every NTN restaurant in the world! Right now I think for every NTN place you have to be 19 in Canada or 21 in the US to go in because they're now all legally bars. I'm 15 but my family and I were regulars before that rule so they still let me come in although I'm underage <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
ok, food is one of my bigger passions, and I am from NYC (teh m3lting p0t <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->) so My list is gona be a tad long:
First up Chains:
Outback Steak House is probably my fav of that type (outback, applebea's, Uno, Fridays, trusday's etc), or Olive Garden (good italian food, but not the best)
Now for the local Places:
Jade King, Chinese/Japanese, Huge selection ,decent prices and they recognize me and my mom when ever we come in so they treat us nice (great service, great slectionm). It on Hillside Av near 188th St in Queens.
Two Boots, named after the 2 georaphic boots (Luoisiana and Ittaly) Cajun Itallian fusion, great stuff. They also have a place called 2 boots 2 go that is a pizza place (some of the best topping combinations around, combined with a cajun red sauce, fabulous). They are both on Ave A near 4th st, Manhattan.
<a href='http://www.wagamama.com/' target='_blank'>wagamama</a>, great place unfortunatly only in the british ilse (suposedly one is opppeing up in NYC some time). Basicaly a good, fast, cheap sitdown ramen shop. Great food, fun service (the waiters simply have wirless pads that instantly beam your order into the kitchen). when I was in London my mom and I ate there like 3 or 4 times <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.
So yah, this is only listing some of my fav places, there are tones more.
Oh one last one, I don't know if there is a good China Town in California, but if there is one you should check it out and see what they have (generaly the good ones will have cheap vendors selling good food <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
well, GL mate (I am gona go start my food thread)
Chileno's. Best Mexican food you'll ever eat. ever. ever.
Location: 59th and Western, as there's like 5 others but they all suck. Oklahoma City, OK, USA
now I'm hungry :(
Favorite Local: I don't have any favorite locals now, but there was this one in Orange County, CA (where I used to live) called El Farolito. That place was great. Juaqin's in Yorba Linda is good too.
There's no good food in Kansas City though :'(
The new McGorge meal! A 80% resource hiveburger with reschips and a refreshing gestating goola-cola drink.
I miss in-n-out! There aren't any where I am right now and so I can't go get some. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for TGI Fridays, yes this chain is in the states, but I've never been there. There is one nearby to where I am though, so maybe I'll go check it out sometime. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yes, they are very common. Most of the bigger cities has at least one.
omg havent you seen office space?!?!
Chain - Uhh...We don't have any.
Local - Leonardo's Pizza. The best pizza. in Vt that is.
New York, New York
Chain - Never been to one.
Local - Tomo @ 110th & Broadway. Really good Japanese food.
that said, let's get to the restaurants!
in Manhattan there's a restaurant called Tonkatsu. guess what they serve...!!!!
... Tonkatsu?
YES!!! omgah you WIN!
and it's like an orgasm of the taste buds, and all the nerves in your nose and mouth just explode from the bliss
and you fall backwards out of your chair, blood pouring from your facial orifices
and you die.
it's the only way to go.
dude your post doesn't make baby jesus cry
baby jesus just exploded
macaroni grill is nothing like italy... the food is sux, the atmosphere is sux, and the people is sux, all compared to italy, in terms of authenticity etc
the closest you can get to italy being in the states is little italy (DURRR a duhhh DURR) in NYC
if you eat pizza there
you will never consume pizza at another place again.
so if you like round table, or pizza hut or whatever the f*ck stupid bullsh*t pizza, do NOT ever visit new york city.
ahh, Tonkatsu though, you are sooo right (where is this place?) That is the best sauce ever (though I always get Chikan Katsu, don't like pork <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Subway (mmm, good submarine sandwiches)
Arby's (some of the best seasoned curly fries - or chips for all you strange people out there - EVAR)
The Old Country Buffet (just a buffet, but it's pretty good)
In Downtown Flushing on Main st in Queens. Gian Asian buffet, $20 gets you in (that is cheap for what they have)
Alot of people who go will simply lod their plate with crab legs, about 3-4 times (thats why it is like $20), as well as a sushi bar, and ALOT of other good stuff <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
location: frome
Fave Chain (I'm pretty sure its a chain restaurant):
Prime Quarter Steakhouse
You get to choose your steak (you open the fridge and pick it yourself), you get to grill it yourself on these huge grills. They give you all the seasonings right at the grills so you can make them any way you like them. Also grill your own Texas Toast (yum yum).
Fave Local Place:
Cant really think of one at the moment <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
