Restaurants on the road...

I am not quite sure about the food but, for cheap drinking, you can't beat "the cantina" in GRR. Last night was a good night!!!!

Best mexican in SAN, Jimmy Carter's Mexican Cafe(no relation, I asked). On the west side of the airport, up the hill 3/4 of mile on washington st. This place has only been there for a couple years, but rocks. I've eaten at just about every mex joint in the city, this is by far the best. Puts El Indio to shame.

Re: Coopers

Looked at the website -- and got hungry. Do you know what ships well since they freeze it. The experience can't quite be the same as being there.

My wife especially enjoys Texas BBQ. She went to college in Houston (a sort of long time ago) and always talks of Goode Company. How does Cooper's compare?

Thanks.

P.S. In Islamorada Fla (in the keys), Time Out BBQ has great ribs which take all day to cook.

I just saw your question. I can't say as to how Cooper's compares to Goode Co., but I order the sausage and the brisket from Cooper's. They travel pretty well.

When in Las Vegas give Jeremiah's Steak House a try. Prime rib so tender you can cut it with a fork. Prices very reasonable too. Looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but you will be pleasantly surprised inside.

VEGAS!

Aside from eating a showgirl (yummy)

try Gallaghers in NYNY. Yummy steaks but I believe A La Carte. (I hate that...)

When I was spending a lot of time in LA area, two favorites are Typhoon which is on the Santa Monica airport and Ocean Seafood on ocean ave in SMO very close to the pier.

Try these - they're all EXCELLENT

River Grille - Rogers, Arkansas

Carmine's - New York City

Hereford House - Kansas City, MO

Mustard's Grille - Yountville, CA

Royal Thai Cafe - Kailua Kona, Hawaii (best Thai in the Islands I hear)

OK Churrascaria - Sao Paulo Brasil (Rodizio style BBQ)

Just about any restaurant in Paris (though it's not impossible to have a bad meal there)


That should keep a few people fed for a while.

Wichita

The best BBQ I've ever had is B&C Creations in Old Town. Buffet style, the best hot links in America. All this for $7, including drink. They also have art from locals for sale all over the place. It's truly unique, if you have a layover here I would highly recommend it.

Re: Road Food

regional favorites like the Sea Shack when we have to stay in Teterboro

I've seen the Sea Shack but have never tried it... Is it that good???

I love good seafood! As a matter of fact I don't even like BBQ anymore, give me a nice broiled Lobster Tail, some King Crab, broiled Ocean Scallops and some Jumbo King Prawns! The best grilled Jumbo King Tiger Prawns I have ever had were on Madeira Island and a beachside restaurant! MMmmmm...

GOTCHA!!!

Man that took longer than I thought to get a rise out of someone... Maybe next time I will bold and underline it!

Now, I have to get back to my smoker... Got 3 slabs of Baby Backs slow cookin' as we speak!

Re: Re: Road Food

Yes, it's very good although the atmosphere is such that you would expect to see the Gambino family over in the corner eating spaghetti. We were there last week as a matter of fact. I had a very good jumbo shrimp cocktail and a Chilean Sea Bass special. Yum!

It was an interesting flight in to Teterboro. I was at FL470 following a Global at FL430 and I was turned out by ATC three times then given a speed restriction to stay behind him. When I finally complained to ATC about all the vectoring , they admonished me saying, "I have to land you in sequence, I can't land you in parallel with the Global." I think a better solution would have been to just let me pass him.

uh-oh!

I sense this restaurant survey could turn into a G-V vs. Global Ex. battle!!!!!!!!!! j/k

I did a research paper in college comparing the two aircraft and I think I'd rather have the G-V. That Global is quite impressive, but I take Gulfstream dispatch reliability over that.

Back to the grub, Carmine's in NYC is incredible if you like Ital. food...good luck getting a table though. Also, if you guys ever find yourself at Mohegan Sun, try Big Bubba's BBQ!!!!! Not too bad considering it's New England.

HSV/DCU: Greenbriar BBQ.
RST: The Hangar. Great Happy hour, and a hottie bartender that looks like a young Jennifer Aniston (night shift).
TRI: Bailey's in Johnson City. Great food, good bar, pool tables & Big screens.
HWD: The Hollow Leg. No food, and the neighborhood has all the atmosphere of downtown Baghdad, but a good little bar.
GCC: The Boot Hill. They're all cute at the Boot. Again, no food, but about the only bar in town.
SAT: Dick's, on the Riverwalk. Where else in the world would you PAY for rude wait staff... and enjoy it.

I'm sure more will come to mind, but those look like places that haven't been mentioned, and also places where you have to go looking for the food and entertainment.
