What is the best restaurant in your city?

@tj78610 oof... more like toxic hell

@Tryingtofindabalance And THAT'S the point!

@tj78610 😅

@Tryingtofindabalance I was teasing ;). I haven’t been to this place yet, but I’ve heard terrific things about it...and I want to go! https://biera.ca/

@Tryingtofindabalance and this one.... http://www.sabor.ca/#lunch

@ImpeccablyImperfect sabor sounds good, I like tapas

@SW-User Looks interesting. If the pass is open on Saturday, I will stop there for breakfast, on my way to Leavenworth.

You won't be disappointed and the servers are very friendly too.@Northwest

@Tryingtofindabalance It's not cheap, that's for sure. Are you going to be in Seattle, or the Eastside? Our area has gone mega upscale, so expect to pay Manhattan and San Francisco/Palo Alto prices, if you want anything other than chain restaurants.

@Northwest I am in Seattle every couple months... it’s expensive... everything costs twice as much there than most places... tbh I don’t get what’s great about the area... but then again that’s just me...

@Tryingtofindabalance The mountains, ocean, lakes, outdoors, islands, skiing, SCUBA diving, wide open spaces, quality of life, among other things. It's getting to be more crowded. I'm a native Californian, but have called the Seattle area home, since school.

The tech industry, and a massive influx of Chinese money, has more than quadrupled real estate prices, in a short period of time, and with it, what restaurants charge. One thing that's still reasonably affordable, though about 500% more expensive than it used to be, is fish & chips in West Seattle, or any of the islands. Pike Place market, used to be a good place to shop for organic, inexpensive produce, and fish. It costs there more than 3X what you would pay at Whole Foods, for the same stuff. Another tourist trap, but everyone wants a picture with a background of the Cascades/Rainier, and the ferries.

@Tryingtofindabalance I am tube fed, yeah. He says Junior's is good and goes there a lot. There's multiple locations in the Jax area.

@SwampFlower I’ll be in orlando... any suggestions for there? It’s a business trip so it doesn’t have to be a kid friendly spot

@Tryingtofindabalance No idea about Orlando, sorry. We just moved here recently.

@SW-User North America is thousands of miles apart 😬

@Tryingtofindabalance it’s far from North America

@SW-User this game isn’t fun 😢

@Coralmist that’s too bad... don’t make it to Boston that often, but I’ll try to remember when I do

@SW-User selfishly... I travel for work and was trying to get some good spots... is this place Greek?

@Tryingtofindabalance American cuisine.

@indyjoe truly? lol

@SW-User 😄 I just made that one up....There really isn't a lot around here where I live though, a few fast food places and some little "mom and pop" type places ( of which some are pretty good) but nothing that most people would know or be familiar with. We have to travel 30-50 miles for that.

@indyjoe sounds nice and peaceful I love places like that...except for the lard kettles 😄

@Elandra77 don’t fill up on that salad bar, you know you have a meal coming

@Tryingtofindabalance I try to skip the salad bar and just get a Ceasar salad. Maybe get New Orleans Shrimp.

@Elandra77 you....skip.... the....salad....bar.....at.....Ruby’s......


.....you have to be a troll.... why else would you go there?

@Northwest I’ll check this out next time I’m in Seattle... I’m up there every few months or so

@Tryingtofindabalance The next available reservation, is probably around April. I usually reserve at least 6 months ahead of time. Try Il Nido, in West Seattle, it has not been open long, but you need to make a reservation, probably a couple of months ahead of time.

@bijouxbroussard Love that place. Couldn't pick a favorite in SF, though, way too many to choose from...

@bijouxbroussard I went to some place that was a light house next to the beach in San Fran, can’t remember the name though it was pretty good...

@bijouxbroussard My last visit was in September, the weather sucked and the menu is now purely tourist trap. Back in the day, the food was great, and of course, the drinks are always great :-) I was showing one of the kids my favorite hangouts, he's thinking about staying the city post grad school.

My preference now, is to cross the bridge, and take the second exit down to Marin :-) Little Italy is one colossal tourist trap now as well. One can go no wrong with Chinatown... Never been to Chez Panisse, could not afford it when I was a student, and it now takes a lot of planning, to be able to get a reservation.
