I am so hungry right now and thought this might be a fun topic.

Right now I could almost eat anywhere.

I've always wanted to eat at L'Ami Louis, in Paris.

Actually some fine seafood at Le Bernadin sounds great to me right now! http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/smile.gif

Living in a great restaurant city, that's a tough question, but to me, it doesn’t have to be about the most expensive meal, the best views, the celebrity chefs, but simply, great food. I think I would vote for Betelnut on Union Street in San Francisco ... come to think of it, maybe a hawker center in Singapore, then there is all the great food in New Orleans ...

I can't make up my mind now!

Fritto Misot in Santa Monica. Their Gnocchi Gorgonzola with walnuts is to die for.

Speaking of which, what time is it...?

C ya!

You didn't say it had to be in a restaurant, or any specific type of meal.

A 'moitié-moitié' - cheese Fondue, shared with as many FlyerTalkers as possible, at the 'Fribourger Fonduestübli' in Zürich (Rotwandstrasse 38, Tf +41-1-241 90 96, Reservations a must).

And how is the goat cooked? http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/wink.gif

At home, where i would rather be than at work.

I don't even care what I eat.

But, say I was having a good work day, it would definitely be sitting at the kitchen table in Rome eating a nice panini with proscuitto, figs and cheese.....

lala

I care far more about WITH WHOM then what or where. And to answer THAT question, why with YOU, natch!

I could go for a big fat juicy burger on the terrace at Nepenthe.

Well, I guess wherever raffy is eating. (gedouttamyhead, dude!) ... http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/wink.gif

A couple of days ago I saw on the food channel the chef from Le Bernadin and other chefs testing at French Laundry in Yountville, Napa Valley. The gave high scores.

Zagat review:
"Gaining a table has become a badge of courage" at Yountville's New American-French "epicurean cathedral" - but "everything you've heard is true": "Thomas Keller should have his hands bronzed" for the "culinary pyrotechnics" that produce his "ethereal", "humorous" tasting menus (both meat and veggie) in a "sublime setting"; even with "seamless service", you must "plan on three hours", and expect "obscene prices", but it's an "experience" that every foodie "should indulge in" "before he dies."

I second raffy with BETELNUT. Very interesting food, they call it "Asien Street Food".
BTW, BISTRO JEANTY in Napa Valley and FRINGALE in SFO's SoMa are not as good as rated.

Game season has started in France.

At the Swan Court restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Maui. The combination of the ambiance, service and the chocolate souffle are more than one can ask for. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/smile.gif

Jillian's in Palm Desert, CA

the little outdoor restaurant at the Musee Gaugin in Papeari, Tahiti. It's just a little unpretentious place with picnic tables, right on the water's edge. The ground beneath you is.. ground (ie. dirt), the trees and hibiscus plants are all around you, with a nice view of the distant motu and Tahiti iti peninsula.

My last meal there was a plate of Mahi mahi stuffed with crevettes and coquilles St. Jacques, with a vanilla sauce. PLUS a big plate of pommes frites and a bottle of Hinano and some Vaimato water.

ARRRGGGGGG nearest one is about 3000 miles away.

In-N-Out for me too! Closest one for me is a flight to LAX and the short ride to Sepulveda.

Haven't been to the In-N-Outs in AZ and NV.

My kitchen's been torn up since mid-April and we've ate out every night since, so I'd really love to eat just about anything cooked in my own kitchen.

Of course, joining lalala for panini (grazie Mvic) in Rome sounds good.

Gates BBQ (http://www.gatesbbq.com/)

I am, right now. Home, something from the freezer microwaved, with my three dogs laying around me. And, after the third day on the road, that is what I miss.

Il Postiglione in Rome's countryside, eating Papardelle fatt'in casa alla Lepre (home made wider version of fettucine with Hare sauce) and maialino al forno (roast suckling piglet). Under the shade of the vines on a hot summer's day with a chilled glass of aqua minerale frizzante after a long hack getting there with about 30 other family and freinds.

Close second would be a simple plate of pasta al Parmigiano at La Greppia in Parma. Parmigiano like no other in the world.

Many panini is right, one panino is never enough! http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/wink.gif

[This message has been edited by Mvic (edited 10-03-2002).]

It's 8:30 p.m. and have not had dinner, so anywhere for me.

Oh, if I had a choice, The BAR B Q Company, great and affordable

==================
Another evil plot for world domination through the use of points and miles.

I've actually had a real hankering for Alfredo's in Rio all day today. Nothing fancy, just a good pasta dish and their appetizer table.

Nathan's in Coney Island.

They have the best hotdogs and fries. And it always tastes better at the beach.

Like if noboby knew... http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/wink.gif

My tastes are simple, but I could never rank or choose just one of these:

Star of Siam in Chicago (Could eat this every day) Dickey's Barbecue in Dallas (One of the places I immediately rush to when I'm in Dallas) Taco Bueno in Dallas (But sometimes I come to Dallas on a Monday when Dickey's is closed http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/frown.gif )

In the mid 80's, there used to be - may still be - a restaurant in ATL called Hedgerose Heights. Of all the places I've eaten in intervening years, that was still the best restaurant I've ever been in.. they had a pheasant/squash potage that was just incredible..

2nd Ave Deli in NYC eating matzo ball soup with kreplach and then some warm latkes and apple sauce! Don't forget the pickles and cole slaw to start.

I'm not going to be back in NYC for several months so am drooling as I write this.

------------------
I Love New York -- Viva España

Pauli's Bar & Grill, Huntsville, AL

(Yep, Alabama ... )

I was relieved that some chose to write that the place they would most like to eat at right now would be in their own home.

After 90+ nights in a hotel a year (I know - small potatoes for some) my favorite spot is at my kitchen table.

Although kreplach soup in lower Manhatten did set my mouth watering....

I'll limit my responses to barbecue, although I was surprised it took so long for it to pop up on this thread.

Gates Barbecue and Dickey's certainly are very, very near the top (as is Arthur Bryant's), but my official answer is a tie between Sonny Bryan's in Dallas, and Dreamland in Tuscaloosa.

The Carnivore Restaurant in Nairobi. I dying to see if it is as amazing the second time (or when one is sober).

Schultz's would have been a very high cholce on this list if I was answering on a Saturday, I can't believe they finally closed the place (though whatever is in there is open,it's not a replacement). It's really really sad to think I will never have a doughnut like that again in my life.

If anybody has been there, they know what I'm speaking of, those who haven't can continue thinking I'm nuts.

The WSJ - much to my surprise, yes it was. It was one of those comments you make and are totally shocked somebody picks up and actually thinks it's worthy of quoting. It's a bit sad they can write a paper now just by taking snippets from here and there online, not wearing out their shoes at all.

French Laundry

to facicilitate later searches, I would have preferred this topic to be posted in the FT dining Forum.

In the galley of my favorite liveaboard, anchored at one of my favorite divesites....

http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/frown.gif

My favorite eating memory is having my first (and very wonderful) Cesar Salad at the Turf Club at Caliente in the early 60s. The story they told then, was that this salad was invented there at the Turf Club especially for Cesar Romero and named after him. I know there are many conflicting stories, but the fact remains that that was the absolute best Cesar Salad I have ever had.

All Caesar Salad's I have had since The Turf Club time have fallen far short of the original. OBTW, did you know that true Caesar Salads (made with raw egg) have been illegal in California since the early 90s?

We had another wonderful eating surprise just a couple of weeks ago, amazingly enough, at the lunch buffet at the LAX Westin. Way down at the end of the buffet (so obscure that we almost missed it) was a container of the most fabulous mushroom soup I have ever had. Although we were certain that it was primarily butter and cream we both joyfully indulged ourselves in two full bowls and would have gone for three if we weren't too full already. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/smile.gif I don't know if it was a fluke, but I am certain I will stop by there again someday, just to see if it is still as good.

and would have gone for three if we weren't too full already. (Punki)

I can testify that Punki, that same day, at dinner, returned the main course untouched ...

I'd take anything from this fantastic restaurant:

California decriminalized Caesar salads - and raw eggs - in 1998. Still some restaurants offer pastuerized eggs in their salads to be safe.

If we happen to be out and about on a Saturday or Sunday morning we will sometimes stop for breakfast, and I like my eggs over easy.

Every time they come, this morning included, I think back a few years when they wouldn't let anybody cook them that way and how incredibly stupid it all was.

Right there with you Redhead! I &lt;heart&gt; SAD ...

But oher than that:

Breakfast: A Krispy Kreme and cawfee from the KK across from the Millennium Hilton (R.I.P. WTC south tower ... &lt;tears&gt; )

Lunch: Any of the many many Thai or Viet places within spittin' distace of my house ... nothing like a steamin' bowl of pho to wash down the Sunday paper with ...

[Dinner: Any were in NYC with the love of my life. &lt;heart&gt;

Snacks:Ess-A-Bagel for a lox-CC-poppy seed ensemble; anything caffienated from Torrefazioni; Saturday afternoon arias and _anything_ at Cafe Treiste at Vallejo/off -Columbus in SF

Tapas: wherever/whenever in Barcelona

Late-night knocking around noshing: L'Express on S. Park (20th or 22nd). Luv the 24/7 atmosphere.

At this moment, Edison Field in Anaheim,CA!!!

Right now I just have this crazy craving for Popeye's spicy, crunchy fried chickin' and dirty rice.... yiam yiam....

Right now: my mom's fried chicken in Tupelo, MS. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/smile.gif

If I could eat anywhere right now..it would be at my Mum;s place back in Australia.

Not that she is an incredible cook or anything...I am jsut incredibly homesick http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/frown.gif

Non-US eating: Singapore hawker centers

it is breakfast time now, so fried noodles at a hawker center is my wish.

Still haven't made it to L'Ami Louis, but I had THE BEST made-from-scratch gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce yesterday from a little Italian pizzeria/buffet, even better than it sounds, along with the meat lasagna (which was also really good, but that gnocchi hit the spot). And he didn't even charge me for the gnocchi, which was awesome.

Until I noticed the post by Arturo, MIA since 2004, I didn't realize that this was a vintage thread.

The Carnivore Restaurant in Nairobi. I dying to see if it is as amazing the second time (or when one is sober).

I had lunch there in June. Great as always.

My preference for dining would be a little Italian place called Rolando's in Takaungu, Kenya. You can a couple of days in advance and for $20 you get an incredible meal including wine.

In-N-Out.

Double Double Animal Style, fries and a Coke.

*mouth waters*

Too bad the nearest outlet is ~1,500 miles away.

Just noticed this is an old thread. But still a good topic.

Would like to be doing all-you-can-eat crabs and crablegs at Captain Johns

If I had to choose from places I have eaten before, maybe 2941 (http://www.2941restaurant.com) in my neck of the woods. Mmmm, foie gras...

Somewhere in the US that I haven't? Then the French Laundry, of course.

In the world? I can think of a few places in Tokyo and one or two in France, plus a couple in the UK (including one I've eaten at previously) that I'd like to be eating at, right now. :D

I'd go to the Last Supper.

Where Brad Pitt currently dines and Billy Bob used to hang out.

Whenever I can get a free meal. :p

Take your place at the end of the queue. :cool: Every town needs one!

Singapore for a homemade plate of fried hokkien prawn mee

I could definately add HK for curry fish ball sticks. Gonna get them for lunch later. Yummy.

If I could eat anywhere RIGHT now, I'd go to Tomoe Sushi on Thompson Street in The Village.

Really craving some sushi at the moment...

The Carnivore Restaurant in Nairobi. I dying to see if it is as amazing the second time (or when one is sober).

I also had Nairobi in mind but this restaurant ...

Haandi (http://www.haandi-restaurants.com/nairobi_aboutus.htm)restaurant.

At Mama`s Mexican Kitchen in Seattle or
at Liliget`s in Vancouver (which unfortunatly seems to have seized operations) or
at Restaurant Bürgli in Zurich or
at Sala of Tokyo in Zurich, too or
at the Sandbar in Vancouver / Granville Island

Thinking about these places makes me hungry again. Oh good, here is some chocolate (Godiva)

I'd go to the Restaurant 44 in the swissotel berlin..amazing food and REALLY creative and for lunch cheap (33 € 3 course)

That is cheap. Nice. Will check it out next time.

At my dear departed Grandmother's table, eating one of her home made meals and chocolate meringue pie.

Gino & Georgetti's Steakhouse, Chicago
Garduno's Tex-Mex, Albuquerque (chile verde aka "liquid fire boullabaisse")

La Bonne Soupe, in NYC. I used to go there with my friends and we'd get cheese fondue and then the chocolate fondue for dessert... it was fon-tastic! ^

Forgot the Soup Nazi's place, Seinfeld!

17th Street Bar and Grill in Murphysboro Il.
I have wanted to eat there ever since I read about their victory in a great BBQ competition. I would love to have great spareribs from a great barbeque joint right now.

I'm going through a serious Udon Noodle craving and am desperate to gorge on Sanuki Udon (a speciality of Kagawa, Shikoku)

Tokyo is more realistic for me to get to than Tokushima so I would like to go to this place:
