Young Frankenstein was also my favorite.

Seared Tuna appetizer with the white vinegar and cucumbers is money. I think it's the "peppered tuna".

The search function is your friend. I liked it btw.

This sucks. The Czaban show was the best sports show on radio, period.

Flemings

If they play swamp pop I'm more likely to set the place on fire than eat there. Your preferences may differ.

Byron's Bistro

Gino's
Fleming's
Little Village
Chris'
Thai Kitchen

(in no particular order, except Gino's is #1 and I like Fleming's more than Chris').

Honorable mention:

Pocarello's
Jay's Bar-B-Que (the one on Government only)
Serop's

I think Pluckers is much worse than BWW and WOW. I wish we still had a WOW in BR. To me WOW is quite a bit better, but I still like BWW.

Gino's by far IMO. I like more authentic southern Italian though.

Yeah I've had it. Nice little addition once in awhile. Refreshing...

It's all about the manicotti. Game over!

I like the decor at the one on Jefferson a lot, but I just can't get into the food at all.

I'm a simple guy. I usually either go for spaghetti w/ penne pasta with one meatball and one italian sausage link OR the tortalini marinara. the shrimp champagne is good, but if you're looking for "red sauce" (like usually am) then give my rec's a go. I'm also a fan of the Gino's salad, caprese salad, and the Antipasto Francesca salad. The pizza is also quite good. i'm actually not a fan of the arancini, but a lot of people love it. really, everything on the menu is good including the fish and steaks.

First of all, keep in mind whenever rankings/ratings like these come out they are never "right". Don't get your panties in such a wad. It's not a big deal.

Just on the other post this is what I think. It must be incomplete though as I don't see Italian and about 20 other categories...

Anyway, here's my take:


Best New Restaurant - Zea's

It's ok. Haven't been everywhere.

Best Asian - PF Changs

Sketchy at best, but I do like one of their chicken dishes.

Best Mexican - Superior

don't like Mexican, no opinion...well actually it does suck pretty bad.

Best BBQ - TJ Ribs

the only BBQ I like is "fake" BBQ and that's Jay's on Government...a.k.a. THE BOMB (haha. nice oldschool terminology).

Best Gumbo - The Chimes

don't eat gumbo

Best Pizza - Fleur de Lis

this is correct

Best Grilled Fish - Bonefish Grill

a little specific aren't we? don't order grilled fish enough to give an accurate assessment, but i have heard negatives about here.

Best Burgers - Georges

i love george's, but i'll also be the first to say they don't have the best burgers. for me it's byronz bistro and it's not close.

Best Seafood - Mike Anderson's

just NO.

Best Sushi - Tsunami

sushi is weird. it really is. it's mostly about freshness and most restaurants have their ups and downs. they don't put enough emphasis on quality. if they think they can get away with serving something that is ok rather than up to snuff they will. you may have a great experience 9/10 times, but then they'll drop the ball and won't serve you something that is acceptable. anyway, in conclusion, to be honest as much as i eat there's so many places i can't give an honest opinion.
