L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn.
Best pizza ever. I think I'll take the trip tomorrow.
Favorite Philly hot-spots:
Lazaro's Pizza House - If you're ever on South Street with a couple of friends and they start predictably yapping about how they're craving Lorenzo's pizza, slap them and take them to Lazaro's at 18th & South. $2.00 a slice, $2.50 for specialty, and $1.00 for 3 incredible fresh Garlic Knots is a steal for the best pizza in Philadelphia.
Schezuan Tasty House - Best food in Chinatown for average takeout prices. Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce and the Twice Cooked Pork are 100% original and delicious.
Sabrina's Cafe - A wonderful BYOB breakfast, lunch & dinner in the heart of South Philly, right around the corner from the Italian market. A constantly rotating menu with all kinds of different items with some of the best breakfast, lunch and dinner in Philly.
Porky & Porkie - Korean BBQ at 11th & Washington. An all you can eat buffet of Raw meats, that you take back to your table and cook on a grill in the center of your table. A great place to go with friends because it's both fun and delicious.
Campo's Deli - At 2nd & Market. If you're walking around Olde City you must stop in and get a Campo's cheesesteak, because they're among the best in town. Also recommended are Tony Luke's and Pat's cheesesteaks.
In my neck of the woods:
- Los Compadres -- Best burritos I've found, and I go to a lot of burrito places around here. The al pastor burritos are awesome and the carnitas is absolutely amazing. You get plenty full for only $4.00. Or add some fresh corn tortillas for $.25 each (they make 'em on the spot when you order). Cost: $4.00 - $6.00
- Julie's -- Some massive sandwiches that are tasty and cheap. I usually can eat just a half at a time. They also make some really good burgers, including a burger as massive as their sandwiches (on a large sandwich roll, to boot). Don't let the exterior scare you away. Cost: $6.00 - $8.00
- Little Lucca -- Another great sandwich shop that makes sandwiches arguably larger than Julie's. Their sandwiches are definitely the best I've ever had, though you're best splitting a sandwich with someone else. Halves saved for later get pretty soggy. Cost: $7.00 - $8.00
- Mikuni -- Without a doubt the best sushi rolls I've ever had. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices for the quality of the food. I've been to more expensive places in San Francisco, Seattle and London, and none compare to Mikuni. Cost: $20.00 - $25.00
Razor, where is the BEST MEXICAN FOOD in NY/NJ? So far, nothing I've tried compares to even the greasiest junk joint in LA.
That made me laugh. Anyways, if you're in LA and don't go to one of the Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles, you're nuts. Crested Butte in Colorado has a restaurant called Slogars that only serves steak and fried chicken, and all of the sides you can eat.Quote:

A few miles west of Denton is the Ranchman's Cafe in Ponder which is considered one of the best steakhouses in Texas. New York Sub Hub is a pretty good subway-ish type place, but a lot better. Rudy's is great BBQ that you can find in several other cities in Texas. Frilly's is pretty good cajun food, although no match for the French Quarter. J&J's pizza on the square is probably one of the top 2 or 3 pizza places in DFW.
If you're in Fort Worth, go to Fuzzy's across the street from TCU. Also there's a few mexican restaurants that are decent and unique to FW, but I forget the name. Kincaid's is known as one of the best burger places around.
Dallas has Pizza Guy which is really good, and more than its fair share of really good sushi restaurants that run from modestly priced (Sushi Yokohama in far north Dallas) to insanely priced (Teppo on Lower Greenville). Maybe some people can fill out Dallas a bit more. There are obviously unique places in Dallas, but the majority of what you see is nationwide chains.
If you ever pass through the area where Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri meet, hit Bussey's BBQ in Miami, OK for the best ribs I've had in my life.
The Corner Stable in Baltimore. God damn it's been so long since I've been there.Quote:

San Loco on Second Ave. between 8th and 7th or 8th and 9th. I always forget. Grade A meats and cooked right there in front of you. Best motherfuckin' tacos I have ever had hands down.Quote:

Eh. Don't expect anything that resembles authentic Mexican food or Tex-Mex.
