Best Breakfast Burritos
Nicks Deli in seal beach. Dont let the deli part scare you, the only reason the line is out the door is because of the best breakfast burrito in socal.
Theyve been selling these for 20+ years all day, every day.
Get it toasted/hot(sauce) and you will never look at life the same.
The perfect greasy balance of chorizo, bacon, egg, fried potato and cheese that might as well have a vicodin in it, because afterwards your just a half awake, chilled out mess.
I would tattoo nicks buritto on my face if it didnt mean job/family loss, I stand behind it that much.
Unique to San Francisco, off-beat, experimental?
Tommys Joynt on Geary.
Half meat cafeteria/emporium half beers of the world bar. One of a kind place.

Stew, sandwiches, amazing beer, and its cheap. Dont forget a vat of free pickles
This is real SF
1 glorious night in Austin

The thread on it got my head spinning.

1 glorious night in Austin
Thanks!
Lookin for anything from taqueria to a a good tex mex spot.
Something I can only get in Tx would be ideal.
What are the foodtrucks I should look for?
1 glorious night in Austin
Passing through Austin on my way to a wedding in Fredricksburg. Staying at San Jose Hotel.
Whats the one quintessential Austin spot to hit for dinner? Ide like a fun spot with some good drink.
Im doing salt lick bbq on the road, and BBQ at the wedding. Are there any other goto BBQ joints that must be had?
I need 1 lunch too, I heard about some food trucks, is there a area where they congregate?
Out from LA so Uchi need not apply.
Thanks for the help,

Dinela 2010...is it just me?
After spending a good couple hours on the dineLA site, I finally narrowed my choices to fig, josie , cache, and michaels. All the good seating times were taken up at my top choices so Michaels it was.
We were seated in a awkward corner of the patio (with plenty of prime tables sitting empty the whole night), and had to ask for the dineLA menu. At this point the server mentioned the hanger steak was out. I almost considered leaving (and now i wish i did), as this was the reason I chose this menu over some others. The main menu entrees cost nearly as much as the whole dinela menu, so I couldnt justify ordering that way. This left me with cod or jidori chicken, and no substitution for the hanger steak. I clearly stated my disappointment in having 2 choices, without a substation, and I tried to sweet talk a pork chop swap in there to no avail. Strike1
I then ordered a Chehalem Pino Gris, of the 600 bottles, of course, this was out. Strike 2
The quail ap was pretty solid, pan roasted with bacon lardons over some tasty wild mushrooms. This was the highlight of the night.
The butternut squash soup as as uninspiring as the canned version.
The black cod entree came out, and I havent been this disappointed in a presentation for quite some time.
(strike3)
The presentation looked like something out of a bargain cookbook. Pile of pilaf. Cod. 4 cherry tomatoes, and a little aoli. Thats it? Thats what 38$ worth of food looks like?
Chocolate cake dessert was good, creme brulee was as bland and uninspiring as the cod.
Grand total for 2 people with 2 cocktails, a "cheaper" wine, and 2 dine LA menus + tip, 238.
I only wish I took that kind of money to bazaar, spago, or BOA, and got my moneys worth, and discovered a new place to return in the future.

48hrs in tokyo, hungry, and solo
I got a free 2 night trip, so time is very limited. Im younger, dining solo, very adventurous, and I dont speak Japanese.
Would like suggestions for the top sushi, yakatori, ect... would consider 1-2 michelin stars or crazy street food dives, anything that is a tokyo must see/eat.
Thanks

6 nights in madrid (student)
I will be in madrid for 6 nights coming up in a week, and Im looking for some affordable, but unique options. Having travelled with the parents(and theyre $) I got used to the good food, but now Im on a modest student budget.
Any suggestions on informal off shoots of the upscale spots, wine bars/bistros, areas that are good for tapas, or whatever else may fit this criteria.
also if you know what to expect to spend per person that would help.
thanks!

Tasty Thai Food in Long Beach or North O.C.?
sophys on anahiem. everything is amazing, ive had almost the whole menu. cant go worng w/ the stir frys and noodle dishes. lad na is good, pad thai is a safe bet, and amazing. best pho in town.
long beach thai is also good its next to mcdonalds on anahiem/redondo. they have a picture menu for those who arent familiar w. the dishes
Dinner in Long Beach
if you want water view theres a few spots in alamitos bay- i would go with mckennas for a nicer experience and better food. theres also the crab pot which is good, probally more child friendly. then joes crab shack which should be avoided. If your downtown, check shoreline village theres yardhouse, and parkers lighthouse, then theres also a few generic spots like chili's/gladstones/pf changs in the pike.
best burrito in LB
so whats the best spot to pick up a carne asada burrito in long beach?
My vote is taqueria mexicana on 4th/colorado.
enrique's is really good but not a convient grab and go spot.
any other spots for good taqueria type stuff?
Los compadres on anahiem is another slept on sit down place, and they just got a full bar. they do a good variety of dishes, lots of mariscos. not typical taco/burrito spot.
Joe Josts Long Beach
also that robin williams movie that came out recentley. thanks them for the HD setup.
Siem Reap - Great Cambodian in Long Beach
Sophies has a good cambodian selection on the menu. Ive had almost everything there, and I can safley say they make the best pho soup on earth.
Yes, there is good Dim Sum in OC after all!
ive been going to this spot on artesia off the 91 in cerritos alot latley. Its right up in the Indian/asian area, seafod palace or somthing like that. does this ring a bell with anyone?
