Predictable, tasty (if not unhealthy) deli fare. Not as authentic or delicious as a single-location NY deli (like Katz's), but for South Florida, you can't go wrong here.

MOSburger

Really? Never liked that place in Tokyo. Nobody makes a burger abroad like we do in the US IMHO

MOSburger to me isn't about an American style burger but rather a Japanese interpretation of a burger. Puka Dog and Japa Dog are similar concepts but I don't think that they do as good a job as MOSburger with the interpretation.

Then again, I am not the best judge of altered fast food as I was a long time fan and still mourn the loss of the original Wienerwald chain. On the subject of fast food, my mother votes for Nordsee, a German fish chain.

Fast Food - Cookout in NC/SC, Pei Wei, Chipotle, Subway
Steak - Chima, Fleming's, Capital Grille, Ruth's Chris
Local Chains - Pj Whelihan's, Adelphia Group (Adelphia's, Kaminski's, Phily Diner)

Agreed- and it is quite tasty- particularly how they have the option of a salad with Japanese dressing as opposed to only French Fries etc.

Relatively new UK chain Côte does a very decent version of brasserie staples. Have visited the Cambridge one a few times now, and been very impressed by both the food and ambience. Good value, too, and frequently on the 'online voucher' circuit.

Yes- it is nice. A different type of food altogether but Yo!Sushi is not bad at all either in London.

Wait, stop the music - there's a good restaurant in the UK? ;-)

German fish chain? That's interesting. Gotta try that. In Germany only? Or "German style fish" (whatever the heck that is) out of country?

Nordsee is excellent. I sometimes pop in there- especially in Vienna where there are quite a few outlets if I am very short on time:

What Travelsig said - they are in Austria as well (albeit it more expensive than in Germany) and a few other countries. Coverage in Germany varies; some cities have one everywhere it seems, others have very few or no locations. There are locations in DUS and MUC as well, and at some train stations.

There is a takeaway counter with fish sandwiches, fried shrimp and fries, etc as well as now basic sushi. But there is also a restaurant with fish dishes, and a deli type counter with items to take home such as a variety of shrimp and herring salads.

They also have kids meals with kids items, and seasonal sushi such as Hallowe'en themed sushi, believe it or not!

Thanks, folks, good to know. Hope they expand to the US or Asia soon as well.

Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes when I am traveling. They have a huge salad bar that is very fresh and different types of fresh soup, pasta, breads and dessert. But mainly it's the salad and soup I'm after.

After weeks of on-the-road dinners with clients and then lunches at Pizzeria Uno, Appleby's and Wendy's with co-workers, I end up having a Pepcid daily for desert. I will go out of my way for Sweet Tomatoes just to give my poor stomach a break.

In some places I look for a Nordstrom and see if they have a Nordstrom Cafe. It's like an upscale (healthy) cafeteria with table service and is only a few dollars above the Food Court at a mall.

Whole Foods is always a good bet for salads, paninis, and other prepared foods to go.

While I love Five Guys and In and Out as much as the next person, it's usually day-4 in convention-land hell that I actively look for certain restaurants.

Autogrill in Italy is another good option if you are on the road.
