I'm always curious to know the best restaurants in cities around the country... Where's the best eats in your city or favorite vacation spot?... I'm already licking my chops... Thanks!!!

Savannah - Pink House

Houston (so far) - Truluck's
for steak and stone crab

Vietnamese - Ba Tho on Bellaire and Cali Sandwiches downtown

Mexican - Las Alamedas on Katy Freeway
Hands down!!

Italian - I am still on the hunt! I like Tony Mandola's.

I have not been all that impressed with the Pappa's chains so far...

I'll add Mark's on Westheimer in Houston.

Dayton, Ohio -- The Pine Club.

Cincinnati -- The Mainsonette.

Minneapolis: Levain

Maui (know it's not a city) - Mama's Fish House

Philadephia - The Fountain

Buffalo, NY - Buffalo Chophouse

Washington, DC - Kinkead's

Naples, FL - Campiello's

Toronto, ONT - Sassafraz

Volcano, Big Island - Thai Thai

Milwaukee--Sanford's

Charleston, SC - take your pick!

Seattle - The Herbfarm

Washington, DC -- Citronelle

Chicago -- Rosebud on Rush

NY -- L'Autece (sp?)

New York - for a special occasion = Babbo, hands down. For a meal only a true carnivore can love = Peter Luger's. For "classic New York dining" = Gotham Bar & Grill. For an everyday neighborhood place with my family = Gennaro's.

So subjective, but I will give my favorites in NYC:
Babbo
Four Seasons
Le Bernadine
Danube
Bouley
Nobu

Fort Lauderdale - River House

And, sorry, I just can't agree about Sassafraz in Toronto. Maybe Scaramouche.
