Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana from Germantown

and a solid Thai restaurant would be a great start.

Wat??

Duang Tawan and Rama are my favorites. But Thai Pepper and Thai Kitchen are solid as well.

Spanish and Korean cuisine, none in BR.

There were a couple Buds Broilers in BR in the early 80's and they sucked.

My kingdom for a northeastern style Jewish deli and an Italian deli (that's closer to my house than Anthony's, or won't yell at me like Pokie).

Some place that has good ramen, like Noodle and Pie in New Orleans or Ramen Tatsu-ya in Austin.

True Grade-A NYC, SF, Vanc, LA, Port, Sea, Hong Kong, etc..Chinese restaurant.

Omi, PF Chang, Dim Sum, Hunan,etc..largely mediocre sans certain dishes.

BR's only truly great one/par to the major metro's very best joints in this regard, was MK Wong's Chinese Inn circa 1977ish to 1994ish.

A quality late night diner downtown. Someplace for bar patrons to do some sobering before heading home.

24 hr Buds is a gift from the heavens
