Mine is got to be Mastro's. The best steakhouse I think

Cafe des Artistes in Puerto Vallarta (fanciest restaurant I've ever been to)
Jake's in Del Mar (near San Diego)
Jaleo in Bethesda/Washington D.C.
Bacchus in Bethesda/Washington D.C.
Carvers in Phoenix
Stage Deli in New York City
Jerry's Famous Deli in South Beach
Castaldi's in Cleveland
Ben's Chili Bowl in Washington D.C. (!)

OMG Denny's is sooooooo good!

Outback Steakhouse! :razz:

I like the one where they just let you throw peanuts on the floor...

Cindy's
Hometown Buffet
Chewy's
Applebee's
McDonald's
Taco Bell
El Toreto

P.F. Changs

You can throw peanuts on the floor in almost any restaurant...if they have them. Many nice restaurants are dimly lit, so it isn't like a waiter is going to scold you if he or she happens to spot a peanut shell on the carpet...

On another note, you guys have NO taste. Hometown Buffet, Outback, McDonalds...puhleze!

Yeah but in how many restaurant is it customary to throw peanuts on the floor?

Your list rocks! I've sampled some of those places in DC, actually. My uncle (he's the "young" and liberal guy in the family, you would like him ross, heh) used to live in DC. He moved back to Europe a year ago. But, when he did live there, he had this btichin house right behind John Ashcroft's place, one street off the capitol. I'll look for the street on Mapquest, but I don't remember the exact adress. It was sweet.

I had the best Italian food ever in San Fransisco. I can't remember the name of the place, but last time we were there (Last spring break) we stopped in. Fabulous. It's a little cafe in Little Italy, very trendy, clean, and sleek. These two gay guys (Who else?) were the best team ever. The food was superb - orgasmically good! I can't wait to go have some more this spring break.

Hey man what about Popeye's Chicken?

Well...I don't think you can define whether it's customary or not. After all, most people don't bother cleaning up their own mess, so people can feel free to drop whatever they want ON the floor. Eating out is like a baseball stadium or a movie theater. The food (most often) costs more, but you never have to deal with the mess unless it involves a spill on your own (or someone near you) clothes...

Which ones have you been to?

You've been to the deli in South Beach, right? Their Reuben was literally as big as those in Carnegie Deli, Katz Deli, or Stage Deli (all in NYC )

Around here there is a Steakhouse chain called Roadhouse Grill, and they purposely throw peanuts all over the floor. It's a pretty backwards place :razz:

Well I wish I could remember the name of this place I'm talkin' about, but they just have a bucket of peanuts on the table at all times and they encourage you to just toss the shells on the floor...

Yeah that's the one...

Heh. Its teh funsies

I think I've been there...Is there one in Myrtle Beach?

Outback
Texas Roadhouse
Applebee's

Uh, erm, I like Wendy's and Applebee's.

Some of my favorite restaurants:

Taverna Cretekou (Greek restaurant) somewhat near DC
Ruth's Chris Steak House
Chart House
TGI Friday's
Joe Theismann's

Oh God I love the Jack Daniels sauce there. I wish they'd markt that stuff so I could eat it at home...

I love Ruth's Chris. Thats another one we frequent here. I've only visited The Chart House once while in Malibu and I liked it.

Some other Steakhouses I like
-Flemming's
-Bone's (In Atlanta)
-Burn's (Tampa)
-Random Guy's

Ruth Chris is good, if a bit much...money.

There's a nice little Greek place in Bethesda (Plato's Palate). The owner looks like the father of Nia in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Then again, there's tons of places in Bethesda...

TGI Friday's is fun. It's got the right atmosphere, and sometimes, the thing that your tongue craves is just some fried shrimp, chicken, or ribs in barbecue sauce...

Ruth's Chris is a tad pricy. i ate at one in New Orleans. I loved it but it did cost a lot.
