Favorite food place you've ever been to?

I went to a really good pizza place in SF that I can't remember the name to, but I remember it as having the best meal I've ever had. What's yours?

Cheesecake Factory for its gumbo.

Viking Buffet and Sakura(?) fast food in Japan.

Although it may sound stupid or offtopic best place to eat is your kitchen. If you cook your own food you get it cheaper and with higher quality.

Just a personal option, no one must start flame war because of it.

@garrom: not if you’re a shit cook.

We have an indian restaurant a few minutes from where we live that me and the girlfriend go to every Friday night. Can’t beat a hot curry and a few beers!

@garrom: I usually agree. My favourite meals were made at home.

Restaurant-wise, I would say either Poppy-Hana in Colombo, Sri Lanka or Yoshinoya in Tokyo. Their beef bowl was exquisite!!!

A genuine tie.

Tooloulou's in Banff, AB and Mulate's in New Orleans, LA.

Both are genuine Cajun restaurants but I couldn't tell the difference between them. They were both absolutely outstanding eating experiences, and cemented Cajun cuisine as my absolute favourite.

At Tooloulou's, I had the catfish po' boy with Cajun fries and fried green tomatoes. The food, the waiter (a true Cajun from Louisiana) and atmosphere was literally straight out of Bourbon St (without the awful smell and debauchery).

In New Orleans six months prior, my wife and I shared the catfish po' boy platter that came with red beans and rice and jambalaya, and had a crawfish étouffée on the side. There was a live Cajun quartet playing on the stage and the service was spot on.

I would highly recommend both restaurants and cities to anyone looking for a good time as a tourist. Though, I would say avoid Bourbon St. at night (the swindlers are out in full force) and stay in the French quarter and nearby hotel districts (unless you are driving yourself).

There's a bakery down road where they product fresh bred at night for the morning.

The smell is potent.

I still can't cook a steak nearly as well as a high end steakhouse.

I saw a top sirloin ribeye steak at the butcher today, with marbling in the realm of Wagyu for $27.90 a lb.

I would spend the money to buy the steak, but I would refuse to cook it out of the fear of taking it too far past rare. There is a reason why there is a rather large market of high-end restaurants.

Yes, i agree. Not everyone is a master chief but are we so close to death to can't learn anything new ? Like myself : The only programming school in town refused me because i have Asperger's syndrome so i learning myself programming and become BedRoom Coder. You are humans, most adaptable, handy and creative creature on Earth, you can learn whatever you want but question is : Do you want learn it ?

Is the coding just a hobby or do you receive income from this self-taught skill?

On-topic: Bern's Steakhouse. Expensive, but life-changing good.

Also, this Colombian place La Perrata. They make something called Salchipapa Xtrem. I can make a poor man's version at home, but it's about half as good.

The Indian restaurant near where I live in the UK. Bloody love a hot curry!

@shellcase86: Is is hobby but it fetch me little money. I have game named War City on indie page gamejolt and i get share from ads on game's page but besides this i don't have payd game, yet. But hobby can be profitable too like if you win championship with rc car, you get prize. Payd game named Star Burn is currently in stage of devlog but it will have playable demo soon... Why you asking anyway ?

Bangkok

In terms of Food place, does a simple grocery counts? I really love buying ingredients in the grocery and search on youtube for easy to do meals from different countries.

But if not then I'll go with Mcdonalds.

@shellcase86:"I can make a poor man's version at home, but it's about half as good."

But half expensive?

@garrom:Just curious. Always looking out to see if others are able to turn hobbies into income (not that you have to or something is wrong if you don't--again, just curious).

Honestly, no. The ingredients are something like; hot dogs, chicken, fries, ketchup, mayo, garlic, shredded cheese. It comes out to about the same cost--but they're not in a convenient location.

My favourite place to eat is Captain America’s Hamburger Heaven.

@foxhound_fox: Restaurants usually cook steak sous vide, that’s the difference.

You can do it at home and it’s difficult to get wrong.

Tandori Chicken is soooooo good when done right... even better than curries

Quebec steamed hot-dogs and Quebec poutines.
