re: What is your perfect restaurant?

Mine would be a sit-down, casual place with a bar. The bar would have lots of micro, local, and craft brews on tap. TV's for sports around the bar and where you can see them from most tables.

The restaurant would offer lots of home-style plate lunches (like momma used to make). Dishes like spaghetti, pot roast, steaks, chicken gravy, gumbo, sauce piquet, pork and sausage jambalaya, crawfish fettuccine, crawfish stew, boudan, and fried seafood.

It would also be known for its great burgers and off the wall yet delicious sandwiches.

Oh, and it's a bar with live music at night.

That's what I would have.
