Plain and simple, I have turned into my dad. In Germany I don't crave Wiener schnitzel, or sauerkraut, nope instead I seek out the best Indian food in the city. Stopped by Goa for lunch and had a veg thali or platter of 5 dishes served with rice and naan. Wow, that was fantastic!

I highly recommend this place, it was packed at lunch and no buffet, everything is cooked to order. Have to give it up for my Indian friends in Munich, great job!

Where the heck is Tarrytown! Well it is upstate NY in the prominent Westchester county. Nice little town. Here over night an asked the valet guy for a good place still open. He suggested a Brazilian restaurant called Caravela. I went there and was a little nervous as I was the only person in there. Understandable since it was so late.

The owner took care of me and don't even offer a menu, said let me tell you what's good. Brought a shrimp scampi for apps with a Brazilian twist, and for the main course a delicious seafood paella.

Quite the memorable dining experience , would not have expected to get such an international flare in a little town.

Celebrity chef Todd English has a few places one of which is The Food Hall located in the basement of The Park Plaza hotel. Anticipate a wait if you walk in so try and make reservations. The name says it all, you have a choice fit for a king. Burgers, pizza, raw bar , sushi, you name it. My colleague describes it well "an upscale diner". The atmosphere is laid back,friendly.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The pickiest of eaters will find something.

This night for me was the Kobe beef burger with Kobe pastrami. Yeah that's right I did....

Was here for a conference and my colleague from the TX area suggested we goto to Mia's for dinner. This is a Dallas institution made famous by a big change in the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff. It marked the end of the Landry years with jimmy Johnson and jerry jones dining here before Landry was let go the next day.

At any rate the food was simple and fantastic. We had fajita nachos, and brisket tacos that were heavenly. They even had this Serrano pepper salsa that was tres spicy!

This place was so good we came back for lunch the next day. Highly recommend it of you are around the Dallas area!

Was in town for a team gig. I remember coming to the area in years past and my friend setting up crab feasts for his birthday at the Olympic club. A very exclusive event but man was the food good. I wanted to see if there was another venue we could have a more open event for my work folks. The Crab House at Pier 39 fit the bill. Reasonably priced, nice location and best of all good food. I would say the garlic marinade was a little much but overall really good.

Really simple post. Hands down the best Chinese food in SF. Mongolian beef, chicken with broccoli, salmon spring rolls, calamari appetizer, chicken corn soup, R&G beef special.

Get out! Simply amazing

Here I am in Bangor ME a couple days left in the year still trying to close business to make 2011 a great year. While here you have to indulge in lobster so given the time of day I am free the best option according to the locals is captain nicks. On the menu for me tonight is an app of mussels in a white wine sauce and then a lazy lobster already de shelled and ready to eat.

For those more adventurous here are the instructions to crack your own meat.

The verdict, hmmm I have had better on Portland but maybe I didn't order the right dish here. I was a little underwhelmed at the amount d lobster that came with my meal. Should have been mounding above the bowl, it looks like the were a little skimpy on the main attraction.

Have to try somewhere else, problem is they are not open very late for dinner! See what happens tomorrow, stand by.

Finished up monster week in Chicago only to head to NYC. More walking, more eating although I really behaved in Chicago all week. Might as well splurge a little, since I will be spin doubles tomorrow at the gym.

My sister recommended The Food Hall at the Plaza Hotel. The menu looks crazy good, everything you can imagine literally like a Food Hall. Still waiting for a table hope to be seated soon.

Table was worth the 35 min wait, not bad on a Friday night. Check out the menu:

We munched down the baked oysters, sweet potato bisque, the ravioli and pastrami burger. My fav, the burger, man that was good.

I could have eaten at this place all night , raw bar, sushi, pizza, Asian flavors you name it they had it.

Well done Mr. English!

Here for RSNA had a night to myself before being scheduled for customer dinners the rest of the week. My co worker who lives here offered some suggestions to help satisfy my Indian food craving, specifically for some kebabs. The spot is called khan BBQ located in little India on Devon st.

I ordered a bunch of beef and chicken dishes with naan, I love when they ask me for how many people are you ordering, and the look on their face when I say one person.

The food was pretty good, not spicy by any means but very flavorful and huge portions. It's not a fancy place but a nice joint to get some really good food fast and cheap.
