What is your favourite restaurant dish. I like a nice steak & fries.
Tibetan momos. Stir fried noodles.

1. Beef Bourguignon
Best I ever had was at a little French place on a main road in Kingston, outside London. Like a decade go.

2. Seafood in red curry sauce from my favorite Thai place.
That or a nice sushi/sashimi platter.
Like I believe that you've eaten anything other than jail or boiled hospital food, served with plastic utensils.

4. The Coq au vin at Le Coq Au Vin
in Orlando is divine. Filet at Del Frisco's is pretty close to heaven too.
And it's no longer there but the Fettuccine Bruzzi at Roma Ristorante was something I drove out of my way for on a regular basis.

5. The best ever...
...was chateaubriand for two at L'Auberge Chez Francois in Geat Falls, VA.
Second best may be Maryland Blue Crabs at Captain Pell's in Virginia.
And from the resident DD genius.

9. I had something with tomato at a tapas place
It was like bread or toast with tomato and I don't know what else. It was so good. Do you know what that is?

8. I love the Thai soup with chicken and coconut milk
I'm constantly searching for the best one.
It's hard to say which restaurant dish I like best, but I'll try that one at any Thai restaurant I go to.

12. my version of a classic American breakfast
Especially good if you have work to do!
2 eggs, scrambled, 2 slices bacon, hash browns, sourdough toast, and coffee. You'd be surprised how many places don't do this or if they do, get it wrong.
Only a wuss or woman eats their eggs scrambled. I like mine over easy with runny yolk.

37. veal marsala
But the veal has to be coated and fried CRISPY before the marsala wine and the pasta is added.
obama's economy must be great for them.

Veal is okay but foie gras isn't.
Go figure.

Dummies would eat shit and brag about it if you would give it a fancy, foreign sounding name.

Kinda funny how those that love to rail against the
"one percenters"
sure do love to post about their love for the high-falutin' chow....

Dennis the Menace hasn't given us an update lately on his horrendous credit card situation.

I wonder how many poor children could be fed for the price of those meals. Heartless bastids.

Excellent point!
How can a lib eat even one meal when someone in the world is hungry ?

Because demanding that the government steal money from us soothes what little bit of conscience that the libs have.

"European Vacation", at the French restaurant. :lmao:
Waiter was making lewd remarks to the Griswald's, while the chefs were opening frozen dinners and microwaving them! :lmao:
The best food I ever ate?
T-Bone steak, from a cow grown on MY farm, grilled by ME, medium rare, and a baked sweet potato with brown sugar and butter. :drool:
That was 25 years ago, though. :bawl: The steaks you get from the grocery store are a pale comparison, and I have YET to eat ANY steak from ANY restaurant that even comes close.

:lmao: I lol'd.
Speaking of LOLing, this is my favorite post concerning food, from ChuckJ:
Personally, I've decided to just have one of my regular meals for Christmas.
I'll be having a small bowl of ciorbă de burtă as a starter.
The main course, which I love, will be Moules à la crème. Some may not find it acceptable, but I'll be having a bit of sirenje with the main course.
For desert I'll be having Put chai ko.

:rotf: I'll be doing the dishes or something, lost in my own thoughts, and I'll think of this post and start laughing. Husband thinks I'm :mental:

The most honest DUmmie there. All the rest are just simply trying to one up each other trying to act more "enlightened" and "worldly".

Best I ever had, and the wife and stepson agree, was about 20 years ago. I was burning some hickory slabs from the sawmill. I told the wife to go home, make us a salad, get some steaks, a few potatoes and the stuff I needed to grill the steaks. She was asking to many questions, what you going to grill on, why out here in the middle of no where, it's to much trouble....blah, blah, blah. She did as I asked anyway.
While she was gone, I burned and wire brushed the paint off the grill of a junk piece of equipment, set it up on 4 cement blocks, shoveled some hot hickory coals under it and was ready to cook when she got back. I wrapped the potatoes in tinfoil and put them in the hot coals, spread tinfoil on the grill and poked holes in it, slapped on the steaks and it wasn't but a few minutes we were eating the best steaks and baked potatoes ever.
She's been after for 20 years to do it again. I haven't sawed any hickory logs since and thieves stole my makeshift grill.....damn 'em.

Firehouse chicken, cooked outside by the side of the road over split barrels, basted with a floormop. :drool: :-)

How is it possible to screw up scrambled eggs?
Well, I assume you saw the thread from last weekend discussing how to boil an egg. I suspect the DUmmies could screw up toast.

With the exception of one or two dishes, all my favorite foods are ones I cook myself. I go to restaurants either for convenience or to make my wife happy.

Same here. I'm married to a Yankee. I don't see how they manage to live past puberty with the food that they eat. Hell she either baked or broiled chicken. Who in the hell puts a chicken in the oven?
She hates my cornbread because it doesn't have sugar in it. She refuses to try pinto beans on the cornbread she dislikes. Putting the cornbread in a glass of milk is out of the question. She thinks I'm an uncouth, knuckle dragging barbarian.

Phi are round, cornbread are square.

Cornbread does have its limits but Pi is forever.

No shit DD!!!! Grandpa Perky raised beef, hogs, bird and fish... along with the veggies and the melons and the berries. Man that was some good damned food. Course you had to work for it. :drool: :drool: :drool:
I still get food from the guy that bought his farm when Grandpa Perky died. I help him out in the summer, he gives me raw food. Win-win as far as I'm concerned.
Give me meat and taters and veggies, that I can pronounce BTW, and don't screw it up by putting other shit on it, Perky is one happy guy!!!! :cheersmate: :cheersmate:
