You can bring one restaurant and bring it to your town

Should be a fun game. You can bring one restaurant to your town. The limitations are: the restaurant has to be in the United States and the restaurant cannot be a Michelin starred restaurant. Be sure to list your town as well! Go!

Good thread.
I'm going Babbo, by my boy Mario!
Babbo NYC
I've never been but, it will happen. I want to bring it to NOLA as we have little to nothing like it. Also, it's not super expensive so I could go regularly.

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

sat next to Sienna Miller there once
that neighborhood is full of cool spots. used to work on Grand St. and had lunch at all around there. Ed's Lobster Bar, Mexican Radio, La Esquina, Cafe El Portal, SoHo Park. La Colombe for coffee
as per the OP, my serious answer would be Epsilon in Monterey, CA. Used to go here at least once a week when I lived in Cali. best Greek food I've ever had.

shocked Darrells wasn't mentioned in the first couple of posts
The no Michelin star thing makes it more difficult, so I guess maybe Scarpetta to NOLA
Don't think they have a star.

My choice would be a restaurant that might raise consciousness and inspire a whole new scene here in New Orleans.
So I would pick Rick Bayless's first restaurant, still going strong in Chicago: Frontera Grill.
Frontera's scope is ambitious enough to reveal greatness at every level of Mexican cuisine, from fine-dining to street food.
Within a few weeks of Frontera opening here, after New Orleans got a taste of what Mexican food actually tastes like, every place that thinks it currently offers Mexican food would be deserted and forced to close. But, in their wake, a new generation of Mexican restauranteurs, both high and humble, would arise.
BTW I don't know of a restaurant even in, say, Mexico City that offers both amazing fine-dining and also amazing tacos and other antojitos. So that's why I picked a Mexican restaurant in Chicago. Frontera Grill covers every level of that gamut superbly.
As a bonus, I think Frontera Grill is also the most affordable restaurant ever to win the James Beard award for Most Oustanding Restaurant in America (as it did back in 2007).
