The best kept secret in restaraunts is Strouds in Wichita, KS. It is literally a barn turned into a restaraunt.

Good luck finding it. It is fairly hidden, but it is worth the search. Great chicken and great t-shirts. You almost have to buy any t-shirt that says "We choke our own chickens."

Also, try Lambert's in Sikeston, MO. It's a lot like Strouds. They will pick you up at the airport, walk you in the back door, through the kitchen and seat you immediately! Bring a glove to catch the "throwed" rolls. Fun and great food.
 
At LAX I always try to get to that Deli in El Segundo on the west side of the street. Anybody remember the name? Good stuff. My Sushi rule is that the state has to be bordered by ocean. Except for that sushi place in Scottsdale. mmmmm.....sushi. When riding on Southwest, the peanut and raisin casserole is excellent.

Ahhh!!!! RA!!! Best sushi ever, and often the only "State not touching an ocean" rulebreaker. The girls there are so freaking hott.

Ohh Yeah, best Cheeseburger and Sweet Potato Fries, Warbirds Cafe Driggs, ID. Great FBO and super hot chics. Be there next week:)

Anyone ever been to Thirteen Coins restaurant at the SEATAC airport? It's one of my favorites.
 
Ok. First Post.

Regarding the online spot to put restaurants and hotels etc. I created www.wherethere.mobi just for this purpose. Made it earlier this year, but haven't done much with it. It is designed to be something that would run easily on a handheld device. I figured not to many of us carry pc when we are at the restaurant.

Got a few spots in there so far.

Add as many as you want.

It get's its weather info straight from the noaa database so you can get some interesting stuff. nzsp is a good one.

If I am near the airport it is good, but their are a lot better resturants downtown. The Brookland Bridge and The Metropolitan Grill come to mind at the same price range

baltimore, md....crab cakes @ g&m seafood...none better....
 
Food

CRQ-Jays Seafood

MRY-Monterey Fish House

TPA-Jimbo's BBQ

ASE-Hickory House

PIE - Island Way Grill

TEB- Seafood Shack

BCT- Houstons

For AWESOME sushi - go the "The Naked Fish" in Lake Tahoe. They have it shipped in everyday from SFO. Just went to Triple J's in Lubbock, TX the other night. Get the one of there Filet's.
 
If you are in TEB, try Cubby's Charbroil, on River Road in Hackensack. Real casual, but the best steaks and ribs on the planet. The owner is a real character, Bobby Egan, featured in Time Mag, Vanity Fair, and others for his clandestine exploits. Google him, but go and try his food. Damn, I just made myself very hungry.
 
I have to second FlyNfast4you's recommendation.

Bone Daddies is the ********************! Go on halloween night and the outfits get even smaller!! All the girls wear halloween costumes. TINY ONES!

In the Phoenix area go to RA. It is an awesome sushi place. The girls are definately girls gone wild material. I think there are several around the area, but I have been to the one in Tempe. Even if you don't like sushi, the girls are worth going to look at.

If you want real Memphis Barbque, go to Central Bar-b-q. It is on central ave. 901-272-9377. The dry ribs are as good as they come, and you must try the Bar-b-q nachos. Enjoy
 
Great Post!

Without great food it's all for naught. Some of my favs.

SUS. The Smokehouse, you can't order anything bad.

TEB. The Charthouse.

DRT. News Hearold

SAT. Toms Ribs

OMA. Omaha Prime! (Downtown)

OKC. Sky (Top of the Hyatt)

I say take a risk and go for the local flavor, yes you can get burned but finding that jewel of a place is worth it.
 
Here are a few I enjoy.

KPHL....Maggiano's and Reading Station.
KBOS...Legal Seafood and Chart House
KBKL....Sportsman's Grill (open from 11-2 for lunch)
KTEB....Stage Deli (Manhattan)
KSNA....Blue Fin (Newport Beach) great Sushi
KSTL....Budwieser at Jacob's Field!
England....no good food outside of London!
Ireland....Guiness
Scotland....Guiness
Japan....Japanese...duh.

While I'm postinig...how about a recommendation for my recurrent's in Dallas. We stay @ Embassy suites/Bass Pro Shops....something besides Culter's and Big Buck (I think that's what it's called).

My two cents:

DFW- Technically it's Grapevine, Esparza's (sp?). About two blocks off the main drag. Great Mexican.

SAN- In the Gas Lamp district, I think it's called Royal Thai. Sits right on the corner can't miss it. Sit outside and watch the scenery walk by. Needless to say Great Thai food.

PDX- My company likes to be a little different and ships us across the river to stay in Vancouver WA. That said I like to walk down to the Red Lion Hotel's restaurant for a great breakfast. It sits right on the Columbia river for a great view. Also if you are there the first Friday of the month you can hear some great stories from a group of retired Long Shoreman talking about the good old day's. I sat and drank coffee with them most of the morning.
 
As lame as this post is i'll bite... I like local sport's bars. The food is decent as well as the beer and you can usually find some outgoing folks to chat with.

If the menu is paper attached to a leather holder and there are candles and cloth napkins it is too fancy for me...
 
If you are staying in the grapevine area (Dallas) got to try Bonedaddy's. The Bar-B-Que is good and the scenery is way better.
