re: You can bring one restaurant and bring it to your town

Oh, this is too hard. My first inclination is to pick a really good thai restaurant, but then I think of someplace like Bar Tartine ( https://www.bartartine.com/ ) in San Francisco: I'd get great food and really, truly excellent bread.

But I'm gonna go with Balthazar in NYC: good bakery, serves three meals a day, and classic food I'd want to eat all the time. I could get a decent croissant & a nice cafe au lait for breakfast, a frisee aux lardons salad at lunch, and steak frites late at night. Read the menus and weep that it's not around the corner: LINK
