    A couple of days ago RickZeeland was talking about Eggs Benedict, delicious! But, so that we all have places to strive to visit when we are on holiday, where in the world is your all time favorite restaurant, and what is the dish that makes it all work? Mine is Café de Klos in Amsterdam where they have been serving the best charcoal grilled, smokey bacon spareribs in the world since before 1979 (the first time I ever went there). Andy

          I don't have a favorite restaurant. I'll try new stuff and go anywhere the people are friendly and not pretentious. But, if I had to pick one or two... Outback Steakhouse is up there. I'm a redneck, so I'm obligated to like that to keep my redneck card. :laugh: Cracker Barrel. Ain't nothing in there healthy, and there's enough sugar in the tea to knock you flat out. But, I'm a southern boy (southern US that is) born and raised. I love the warmth and vibe in these restaurants. But, you will get fat. :laugh: You're making me realize I need to travel more. :laugh: If I ever do visit Amsterdam sounds cool to check out.

            Some years ago I visited Bruges and had one of the best dinners I can remember. Sadly the only thing I can remember about the restaurant is the Turbot I had for main course, and the fabulous coffee machine brought to the table after dinner.

              Hands down, Rendezvous (across the street from the Peabody) in Memphis, TN for BBQ/ribs. If you go, the cheesboard is a great starter.

                Not a restaurant, but years ago I was very impressed by the quality of the fries of a chip shop in Stavelot (Belgium) and the beauty of the lady behind the counter :-\

                  Mine is a Peruvian restaurant in Corning, CA. Unfortunately they are closed now. They made the best version of my favorite dish that I have ever had and I've had it at a lot of places. That dish is Lomo Saltado. I really like it with a blasting hot rocoto sauce. The dish has just a few very simple ingredients but when the sauce is made right they work together really well. Contrary to most recipes for it on the net, the key is to use no vinegar. That's how they made it in Corning and I asked them specifically about this because I have seen and had such a wide variation of tastes. My other favorite place is Pappadeaux's. It's a chain of Cajun restaurants in the Southeast USA. I have been to about four of them in Dallas and Atlanta and I really like them. The last time I was there I had blackened rockfish and it was tremendous. Probably the best seafood I have ever had. At one of the thems in Atlanta they had a live band playing for people waiting to get in. It was pretty cool.

                    There's one here in Phoenix, but I've never been there. I guess I'll have to remedy that. P.S. My wife is gluten-free, so that's a major concern when selecting a restaurant. And our kid is meat-free.

                        Pappadeaux's is excellent. Shrimp brochette: a skewer of grilled shrimps wrapped in bacon, cheese, and a slice of jalapeño. I also like their blackened soft-shell crabs. You don't have to order them blackened, but I don't care for them otherwise.

                          We still haven't explored that area much, even after twenty years in the Phoenix area.

                            We are spoiled up here in Montreal, as they say, the only place where you can eat French food in American quantities at Canadian prices. Beside compulsory stops to Schwartz's - Wikipedia[^] or Fairmount Bagel - Wikipedia[^], eating at "Au Pied de Cochon" is always a nice experience.

                              Corning, CA is the olive capital of California. I once had a humble pizza topped with tons of black olives at a local pizzeria. It had a newspaper column about once having baked a very, very, very large pizza. I can’t recall the name of the place. Absolutely the best pizza I have had. PS. I realize that a pizza is nothing compared to the fancy items you guys are talking about but still it remains the best pizza I have eaten.

                                  I'm a simple man. But I do make a point of trying something I've never had before, wherever I go. I know people who will always play it safe and have a club sandwich or a burger if they don't see anything they're familiar with on a menu. I go out of my way to do the exact opposite. I mean, when you know you can always have the same crap everywhere you go--the point of going to some place new is to try something you've never had before...isn't it?? I mean, there's your opportunity. I've been out with those types of people and they're always the ones telling me I somehow "have a knack for ordering things that look good". Well, that's how that happens...by NOT ordering the same old things we're all used to. Have I ever been disappointed? It happens. But I'd rather risk it by "branching out"...
