Moscow and St. Petersburg
a little gem from my childhood. On the way between the two cities, before novgorod, there's a small cottage restaurant. They simply have the most amazing food. Till this day, over 15 years later, I'm still craving the food they serve there. Everytime I go home, I simply have to make that trip. I know the location isn't as helpful as it could be but...there are only a few restaurants along the way. Just look for the signs. Used to the the TV tower restaurant was fantastic, but is not any longer.
Road Trip through California
Los Banos: WoolGrowers An amazing Basque place, serving up food family style.
Merced: Sam Cafe Fairly fantastic mix Asian food, great pad Thai
Mariposa: River Rock Inn, great amazing lunch sandwiches
Yosemite: Definitely the hotel restaurant at the Ahwahnee, curry pizza is pretty good too
Santa Barbara: Edomasa for sushi. Absolutely amazing.
If you go far up enough (up by Napa) I would recommend Ad Hoc. Just...it's great.

How about Pinks Hot Dogs? I know it's a little...played out but a golden oldie none the less.
