AUS - Bangkok Cuisine - Thai Food - Research Blvd. area
Ate there last night and it was so good I went back tonight. The food was amazing and sitting in the restaurant made me feel like I was in Bangkok - gawdy decorations and gilded statues all over the place. The staff even speaks Thai and boy were they surprised when this farang ordered his dinner in Thai!

Next time split the bill $400 to each of two credit cards registered to two different programs!
Folks, I apologize for not updating the master post in a while. I have been doing a lot of travel for work. Will be in TPA next week for a week long golf school and should be able to do some updates during the evenings.
I just did a search for the entire state of TN and no Glass Onion. Are the peanut butter porkchops worth it without miles (as much as anything can be that is)?
Sure you didn't mean to recommend Bubba's Alehouse? Or maybe Senses - The Night Club [sic]?
Alas, Glass Onion is no longer in IDINE. Also they announced a new menu this week, which I have yet to see. Bubba's Alehouse is an unassuming neighborhood bar with tolerable burgers. Senses is a good dance club, but I can't say I've tried the food.
Other MEM options include the Bayou, which is a good bar, with tolerable food, and Black Diamond, which is a good divebar on Beale Street.

I know it was posted already, but I was pleasanty surprised recently when I saw 2,500 points posted to my United MP from a dinner I hosted for clients at Sam & Harry's in D.C. I've always loved that restaurant when I'm in D.C. which I why I chose it for this dinner. Great steaks and wonderful wine list. When I returned home from my trip, I noticed the credit for the dinner. I hadn't even realized that S&H was on the iDine list!
I think S&H still has a summer promotion that has 50% off its wine list on weekends during the summer. Another great reason to try it.
TUS -Tucson - Downtown and East side
- El Charro Mexican Restaurant - great Mexican food at a very reasonable price. Fantastic Carne Seca. This restaurant was featured on Food Finds recently on the Food TV network. Both locations give only 5 miles/$ Sunday-Thursday but they sell gift cards - buy them Sun-Thurs, use them Fri and Sat. Works for me!
Please continue to suggest great restaurants and please use the proper format as detailed in my first post - it makes it much easier for me if all I have to do is copy and paste.
