One of my fav local places is Wrapworks in the Dupont Circle area of Washington DC. They have some of the best wraps I have ever had. They have a variety of wraps but my favorite is "Confuscious". Its grilled chicken, lettuce, rice, water chestnuts, and a few other vegetables with an awesome terryaki sauce in cased by a wheat tortilla. Its the best things ever. So whats your fav local restaurant???

In Kansas City, I'd have to say, Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ (the best BBQ in the nation according to Zagat Survey), and Garrozo's for killer italian food (mmm Chicken Spedini!!!!1).

In Lincoln, it would be Valentino's for the most awesome pizza buffet you've ever seen (their new remodel job for the Grand Italian Buffet has 11 buffets...everything from salads, to pizza, to pasta, to dessert). Also, I would have to include Doozy's as my favorite fast food type place.

in bowling green i have to say my favorite local place is puerto's....omg soooo good. i'm sure all you good Texans out there would love to argue with me on that, but around the ol' KY way, it's as good as it gets mexican food wise....and it's darn good!

ilovemyglo can have my back on that, i'm sure.

and nashville has these, too, but a lil semi-fast food place called zaxby's is great as well. all it has is chicken, and it's all greasy and fattening and yuuuummy.

we also have lovely lil diners and stuff that serve all day/night long.....maury's and judy's castle come to mind immediately.

as far as nicer restaurants....agdlynn knows what's up with some mariah's action.

(and i still have dinner next time we're both in town!!!)

The restaurant Texas Land & Cattle, without a doubt, has the absolute BEST of everything in the entire Metroplex & beyond!

I love Mitsu-Ken, it's an okazu-ya, a hole in the wall place that has different food selections every day.

As far as fine dining goes, Angelo Pietro is awesome. Japanese/Italian cuisine is the best! So is their raw potato salad!

It's hard to pick the best restaurant in NYC since there are so many but in my opinion, A is one of the best. They have delicious French-Carribean food. It's on Columbus and 106th for all New York ppl. It's a tiny hole in the wall so don't be scared when you see it because trust me it's worth it.

Hmmm OUTBACK!!! Totally obsessed with it and eat there like at least once a week, even tho it gives us the Outback Sickness. Kinda pricey but when you know almost every server in there, it's gets kinda cheap

.

Also Mongolian BBQ... in which we also get the Mongo Sickness.

Favorite local restaurant is Columbus Fish Market, with this little local Chinese place a close 2nd. Whoever thought of putting outstanding Chinese food in Nowhereville, OH was brilliant. Favorite chain is TGIFridays. I love Fridays, I could eat there every day and not get bored.

Favorite Louisville restaurant is Lynn's Paradise Cafe. WWCousins and Mike Linning's work too. Oh, and Bristol for Sunday brunch. Used to include Tumbleweed in there, but the last time we were home and went to Mellwood we were very disappointed.

Favorite Disney restaurant is 50's Prime Time Cafe.

That is all

Nina's.....homestyle Italian in Norwich, NY. I *heart* Nina's.

Hmmm..

In Boston there are a few - I love Sunset burgers, Cheesecake Factory, Vinny Testa's, and a couple of restaurants in the North End (Artu, La Familia Giorgio, and Restaurante Fiore are the top three that come to mind).

The breakfast at Zaftig's is the best. Breakfast at Stephanie's and the Ritz is excellent too, but I'm more of a fan of Zaftig's.

I also ate at Ajourd Hui once - the food is unbelievable, but being at the top of the Four Seasons, at this point I can only go if someone takes me and my girlfriend there on them.

Boston really has great food for any budget. and I'll probably think of more awesome restaurants later on.

Everyone here is raving about the new Coach's Bar and Grill, I have yet to have time to go check it out. Lou and Harry's is GREAT! It's a little greasy spoon kind of place with greek food and bugers. I also loved AllAmerican Pita (they closed

) And we can't foget how much I love Cracker Barrel (ha ha)

There is a place in Charlotte, NC called Jaipur's and they have the absolute best Indian food.
