We are in the process of compiling our own travel guides for places we have lived: hopefully an insider's glimpse into these locations. This list is a directory of the best restaurants in the places we have been. These are the sorts of restaurants where you cry when the place shuts down (or even if the chef leaves and it no longer tastes the same); the sorts of places our friend jokes would be "best if you could just burn down the place afterwards so you never forget how great that food was." A bit morbid, but you get the jist - good food. The sort of place you should make a cross-country trip to eat there.
- Zingerman's Deli - Ann Arbor, MI - #38 and the turkey reuben, don't forget to try both kinds of pickles
- Ben's Kosher Deli - NYC, NY - get the reuben. you have never tasted a plain corned beef reuben this good. ever.
- St. John's Bar & Grill - Sunnyvale, CA - bacon bleu and a side of garlic fries. Wednesday and Saturdays are half price. bring friends because it's too much food. why are there lame chips?
- Mr. Villa's - Seattle, WA - anything. everything. i hope they haven't changed.
- Sonoma Chicken Coup - San Jose, CA - three words: cheap chicken carbonara
- Firehouse Restaurant - Florence, OR - have a bowl of clam chowder and take the next two hours to visit dream land. and the halibut parmesan is worth a 10 hour drive as well.
- Rudy's - Austin, TX - i can drink that sauce.
- Dawg's Hot Dog Stand - Provo, UT - onions, pickles, pepperchinis, sauce and a polish dog.
- Jerusalem Garden - Ann Arbor, MI - it's a tiny house and there's no place to eat. the flavor sticks with you for days.
- Diddy Riese Cookies - Westwood (LA), CA - the ice cream sandwich with their fresh cookies is heavenly; (aka "THE cookie place").
- BW3s - Ypsilanti, MI - I'm hesitant to put this one on the list because it's a big chain, but the wings are just amazingly good: how can you turn down the spicy garlic or the parmesan?
