[Thump]

He did go there. At least he said he did.

Edit: you beat me to it.

Did you have sushi, Thump?

My wife did, I had Pad Thai and it was superb.

Yep...I did...

Great place, the sake was amazing. The thing that sucks about sushi places in Pittsburgh is the lack of variety in warm sake. All the sake they serve is cold which to me just feels like hard alcohol.

Agreed. There's no point in drinking sake if it's not hot.

The best places I've been to post-Incognito:

Everest - Chicago
Spiaggia - Chicago
Isabela's - Pittsburgh
Binkley's Restaurant - Phoenix (highlight of the trip.. )
Sushi Yasuda - NYC. (fatty tuna is amazing)
Bob's Steak and Chop House - Dallas

Keen's Resturant in NYC. Almost a ten on everything, food , service, atmosphere.

Recently was in Indy and made a trip back to St. Elmo's. The steaks are pretty good, but it's the shrimp cocktail that's amazing. It's not for people who don't like horseradish (or as I call them...worthless losers).

Steak: Chicago Chop House, best strip ever, blew Delmonico, Nine, and Prime out of the water, never had Gibson's or Lowry's, but it would take a lot to dethrown the chop house
Italian: Mama Santa's in Little Italy in Cleveland, cheap, quaint, homemade
Seafood: couldn't tell you the name, but it's on a dock in Marathon right near the Coast Guard station, everything was fresh.
Pizza: Gino's East, Giordano's, Lou Malnati's, DiAgostino's...Chicago by a landslide in this department, deep dish or thin, doesn't matter, these places are amazing.

Le Vielle Maison in Boca Raton was amazing French cuisine, but I think it closed, and another all around great place to dine in Cleveland is Johnny's Bar on Fulton...you won't be disappointed.

Restaurant 2241 in Falls Church VA - may have gotten the numbers wrong

Rockpool in Sydney Australia

dive - Naan n Curry in San Francisco

Le Bec Fin (Philadelphia)
Sushi Ota (San Diego)

Cafe Boulud (NY)

Frankies (GC) not %100 that it is there anymore, but great burritos.

Cattleman's take out only, but some very good pizza

I don't know the name of it, but on old 42 in Plain City there is a carry out, on the east side right before (south of) the faiground entrance, we stopped there Friday to take a break before the tractor show (let the jokes commence)

THE PIE (that would mean pizza) WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!

I am just not the $150 a plate type of guy.

A lot of good restaurants in Colorado Springs, a couple of my favorites...
-Rocco's- a small, family run Italian restaurant. Me and the old lady usually eat here on Friday nights when we can. Some of the best Italian food I've ever had.
-Fiesta Mexicana- Great Mexican food up in Woodland Park. It's about a 30 minute drive up in the mountains from our house, but we try to eat there every couple weeks or so.

Wendy's, Arby's, and Rax (RIP) all began in Ohio. I learned tonight that an Arby's I drive by regularly was their first location (Boardman, OH).

I can't say that I have ever eaten there.

That is correct. The founder's daughter attended Ohio State in the early 70s.

There are still a few Rax around southern Ohio. We've gone to the one in Circleville a couple times for nostalgia's sake. It's fine....maybe a bit better than Arby's, but not much.
