Phoenix's Chinese Restaurant makes the best barbecue ribs I have ever had. So good, in fact, that I need to bring extra tissues with me when I go.

Their honey chicken is pretty good, too. As for their special fried rice, the pork's a little dry, but it does the job.

The Creole Chef in Los Angeles is the best place to get New Orleans style cooking outside of New Orleans. It's tiny, the food is made to order, inexpensive, and fantastic, and the last Tuesday of every month features Crazy Chef La Tee and his Crabcakes.

A-1 ribs is the best ribs i've ever had around here. it's just some little hole in the wall restaurant that you'd never find unless you knew where to look. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water.

also, Gold Star Chili. The best!

they got some new dish theyre trying, macaroni and cheese covered with chili and then with a pile of shredded cheese on top. It seems like a bit of overkill though. You already got cheese on the macaroni, why would you need another pound of cheese on top of that?? Still, i'll probably try it if i get a chance.

Cafe Circe is the place for breakfast, whether it be eggs benedict, home-made muesli and yoghurt, or mixed berry pancakes.

I got lunch at the Gumbo Pot at the Grove...had the alligator tail, creole mustard potato salad and corn bread. It was fucking outstanding. I mean that was some damn good NOLA-style food. So, so good.

Do you even see your food coming at ninja? Or do you sit for twenty minutes, suddenly realize you're full, and wander off into the night?

Tasters Canvas is this little bagle/sandwich shop on the edge of the town, and they make the best sandwiches. For some reason they include these cruton things with sandwiches instead of chips or anything, but they are also delicious. I only found out about the place a few weeks before I moved, but it's still really good.

You see it. But fact: the waiters actually are dressed like ninjas, and rather than a giant dining hall, there are only private rooms, for tables of two up to tables of twelve, and each room is themed like a cave or a dojo or something...and different dishes have different presentations - several of them involving fireballs. It's pretty fucking awesome.

Right outside base, theres this chinese place called The Chopstick House. they have the cheapest and best chinese around, but the building itself is a shit hole. Thee entire place looks like it's about to fall down. How they pass building inspections is beyond me, but the food is great.

Gilead Cafe in Toronto: They're only open for lunch, but their grilled vegetable sandwich with cheese is fucking stellar. And the lemon tarts are so good I would consider killing someone for one.

We have two diners.

Two "gourmet" pizza places, which means the pizza is organic and shittier and like $7.00 a slice.

And a gay bar.

And the Katonah Grill, which is full of jocks and drunks 98% of the time.

That's about it, so I usually hit up that Panda Something Chinese digs or head out of town to eat.

Landlubber's Raw Bar and Grill is bloody amazing. The best hot wings in Ft. Lauderdale, and everything else is awesome, too. Best burger: The GoGo Burger (3/4 lb angus beef patty with a slab of gorgonzola cheese. Order it blackened and it's better than an orgasm!)

...Oh, and Joe's Crab Shack is bloody amazing, too! Everything is great here.

As awful as it sounds, if traveling abroad, I would eat at least once at an "American" restaurant in each country to see their take on our food.

The Ramble Inn. It is a bar/resturant. The food tastes like shit and no one should ever eat there but I am forced to suggest it, since it is the only place to get food in my town. That is what sucks about living in a town where the population is 30. All we have is a bar and a post office.

STKHouse in NYC. I had the best New York Strip and everything from the garlic mashed potatoes to the grilled veggies (even the Okra) is freaking amazing. They also make a killer apple martini

Actually Tasha happens to be from a neighboring town whos population is about 30 as well. But Tasha has the Fire Side which is a bar/resturaunt with much better food than the Ramble Inn. They have a convenience store along with there bar but not a post office!

I think everything tastes better at a bar and I'm a big believer that every town -regardless of the size - should have a bar

In Montana every town DOES have a bar. They may not have anything else but you can be guaranteed that there will be a bar. We even have bars between our towns (just in case you can't make it to the next town.)

The only place I could ever recommend that's around here, is Spaghetti Eddie's one town over. The door looks like it wouldn't even open, and you have to go through an alley to get to it. When you close the door, a giant boot comes down and kicks in front of it. It's made to hit you in the ass and you will be amazed there hasn't been a lawsuit involving the thing. A series of hallways takes you inside, and if it weren't for the boot you might still be thinking you went in the wrong door, until you see the bar, and then a lower section where people eat in booths that have their own cozy little spaces cut into the walls. You feel like a hobbit in there, and everything is wood, from the open walls to the ceiling beams, chairs and tables. It's like being in a barn other than the bar part. There's bread baskets on the ceiling that you can raise and lower with a rope. Random shit all over the walls, fifties movie posters and sports memorabilia from teams that aren't around anymore, antiques and weapons and a submarine door, a jumble of other things. They pretty much just make pasta and it's fucking good and they give you a lot.

I haven't had really great food in Columbia, SC but I can assure you that steering clear of the Mexican cuisine is a safe bet. I had enchiladas covered in cucumbers topped with cheese that was not melted. I've never seen anything like that in my entire life.

Oliveto! It's a little pricey, but worth every penny if you ever visit Oakland, CA.

Also, Lois the Pie Queen for southern type breakfasts.

Soizic for their green bean sandwich, duck confit salad and white pepper ice cream.

Cam Huong for their unbelievably good $2 Vietnamese sandwiches. I especially recommend the beef rolled around fried onion combo.
