Official "good places to eat" thread.

I expect when I'm in NYC in July that we can go to dinner some night Razor.

It's almost impossible to make me go through Brooklyn.

Eh, when I go, I'm coming from the South so it's not a bad trip as long as the Belt Parkway isn't backed up like a mother fucker.

[Razor Ramon]

I just fucking hate Brooklyn.

The best place I've ever eaten at is the Inn at Little Washington in Little Washington, VA. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. It was also hideously expensive (dinner is prix fixe and runs $140-$160 depending on the day. I wasn't paying) and in the middle of nowhere. But if you're willing to drop a lot of money on a fantastic meal, you won't be disappointed. I eat out a lot at some fairly nice restaurants (I live about 45 minutes from DC, which is loaded with good places to eat), but nothing has been even close to the Inn.

Edit: I figured I should mention some good, cheaper places to eat around DC ( it's heavy on the Asian restaurants because they tend to be better bargains and I have no money):

Mannequin Pis in Olney, MD. It's Belgian. Probably my favorite more reasonably priced restaurant in the area. Most entrees are under $20. If you go be sure to get the garlic pomme frites as a side and the pot au chocolat for dessert.

Gom Ba Woo in Annandale, VA. A Korean BBQ place. There are a ton of good Korean BBQ places in Annandale (it is chock full of Koreans) but this is the only one I've eaten at. It was really good. The beef short ribs are to die for. Be warned that they make the BBQ in the kitchen instead of grilling it on your table like most Korean BBQ restaurants.

Taste of Saigon in Rockville, MD. Best Vietnamese restaurant I've eaten at. You can't go wrong with anything in black pepper sauce (you can choose between shrimp, scallops, soft shell crabs when they are in season, or all three).

Seven Seas in Rockville, MD. Great seafood heavy Chinese place. I recommend whatever fish is in the tank in the brown garlic sauce.

If you want to try something different go to Bob's Noodle 66 in Rockville. It's Taiwanese. There's some real weird shit on the menu that you may not like. There's some great stuff too though. If you're not Asian you'll probably get some weird looks from the other diners (my girlfriend and I did).

I also heartily endorse Five Guys.

Fuck that, "greek" pizza.

Sorry. Thought that was a picture of Pizza de Greek you posted.

The pictured pizza looks damn tasty.

Isn't Brassa pretty damn expensive?

Actually a lot of people think that, the answer is not really.

For 35 dollars you get unlimited meat and trips to the sushi/seafood/salad bar.

Now the drinks range from 8 bucks for a beer up to 20 for some of their special margarita's. also, I was drunk and spent 250 dollars on a shot of King Louis to impress my super duper cool customer with my leet drinking skillz, however this was very dumb it tastes like dust.

Also, there is a place for a god damn real good after bar drunk hot dog, the name escapes me, BrandX, I know you know this joint, help a brother out.

San Antonio:

Mi Tierra: This place has great atmosphere and is by the Market (El Mercado) area. It's been here since 1941 (my mom, who is Mexican, used to go here when she was a little kid).

The greatest thing: if you're in town, hit up their bakery and sweets and get some gingerbread, some empanadas and some Leches Quemada (a milk fudge caramel), candied pumpkin, and some Banderillo de Coco (coconut bar) to go.

They have a full bar where you can kick back with a Dos Equis and a dozen oysters on the half shell or get totally wasted on margaritas. And they're open 24 hours.

This is the place they keep showing with the mariachis if you've watched any of the Spurs homegames during the NBA Playoffs.

This is confirmed.


Also, Foca de Chao and Pappacito's in Dallas, FTW, you want mexican, you go to pappacito's.

Duly noted.

Everyone should try a slice of that pizza once in their lives. You'll never view pizza the same again.

I figured I should mention some good, cheaper places to eat around DC ( it's heavy on the Asian restaurants because they tend to be better bargains and I have no money):

Bangkok Joes at the K St. Waterfront. Kickass pad thai, dumpling bar, and I personally recommend the pad see ew, and go with the sen yai noodles...fatter and more delicious, just like all of your mothers. It's about 12 bucks, which ain't all that cheap for Asian food, but it is K St. after all.

Anyone who hasn't eaten at a Mongolian Barbecue is missing out bigtime...the lunch special at the Bethesda (DC suburb) location is 8 bucks, and includes all of the freshly prepared Asian food you can stuff into your beak. Basically you get a bowl, and go to the buffet and fill it with your fav noodles or rice, raw meat, veggies, and sauce, and they grill that shit up for you right there. Unbelievably delicious, at any price...I'd easily pay 20 bucks or more to eat what they offer at lunch for 8.

Another way to eat cheap and deliciously is to just walk the streets...the stands offer everything under the sun, from Mexican to Greek to Indian to Italian, and there are tons of awesome chili-dog stands, just like every other metro area.
