And the chips and dips for an appetizer, it's a trio of guac, queso, and black bean dip.

The thing was huge, I could only eat half of it!</p> <p>I don't really have a favorite restaurant, and after reading this thread I feel like a serious food novice, haha! We ate out a lot in Philly but nothing really sticks out as being particularly amazing. The only repeat I've had at a restaurant is the hazelnut crusted tilapia with a lemon basil butter sauce at Carraba's, which we go to with my IL's sometimes. And I don't even particularly like fish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-of-your-favorite-dishes-at-your-favorite-restaurants#post-385831 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 11:33:06 +0000 Charm54 385831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one would have ever heard of the restaurants in my tiny town, but here are my fav meals:</p> <p>Italian: Carbonara.

That is just my favorite place to eat, ever... but ONLY if you have 2 hours, ONLY if you're starving, and ONLY if you're kid-less for the night! I always say I just love the cheese and chocolate fondues and could skip the main meal, but the sauces always get me!!! And their salads are great too. We've frequented many a fancy establishment in the city as well as our favorite chain restaurants in the suburbs, but The Melting Pot is still my favorite!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-of-your-favorite-dishes-at-your-favorite-restaurants#post-385666 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:16:30 +0000 wheres_c 385666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@squid: Yum, the menu at Noma sounds delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-of-your-favorite-dishes-at-your-favorite-restaurants#post-385423 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 05:52:23 +0000 squid 385423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to let my freak flag fly for just a little bit...but you've just pushed the right (wrong?) button!</p> <p>Some of my favorite restaurant dishes:<br /> sheep's milk mousse with sorrel granite - noma<br /> I actually had dreams about this for 3 days after eating it...weird.<br /> <a href="http://goo.gl/1L4WO" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/1L4WO</a></p> <p>Normandy duck with kumquat and castelfranco - Roberta's Pizza, Brooklyn, NY<br /> Tastiest duck I've ever had...perfectly crispy skin, and perfectly cooked meat, aged for quite some time and super tasty<br /> <a href="http://goo.gl/uBss5" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/uBss5</a></p> <p>Spencer Steak - Jocko's in Nippomo, CA<br /> My favorite steak on the west coast...<br /> <a href="http://goo.gl/yjB0K" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/yjB0K</a></p> <p>Raw Milk Panna Cotta and Abalone Manresa, Los Gatos CA<br /> just blew me away...<br /> <a href="http://goo.gl/ldqRY" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/ldqRY</a></p> <p>Torta di Carne Asada at El Farolito in South San Francisco, CA<br /> they grill the cheesy side of the bread until it's crispy!<br /> <a href="http://goo.gl/a1yTP" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/a1yTP</a></p> <p>Gargouillou - Bras<br /> Every great chef of the modern era has been inspired by this dish.<br /> <a href="http://goo.gl/r6KIo" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/r6KIo</a></p> <p>Fried Dumpings at Fried Dumpling, NYC<br /> I have no idea why these are so good...but they are, and I can't find anything like them elsewhere.<br /> <a href="http://goo.gl/zGa36" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/zGa36</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-of-your-favorite-dishes-at-your-favorite-restaurants#post-383417 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:42:37 +0000 MrsRcCar 383417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this little place in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Michigan.

They have a burger called the Farmhouse Burger, which is a burger topped with bacon jam and a fried egg. They serve arugula and tomato on the side and I always get a side of grilled asparagus. It is heavenly!

In our Lasagna you won't find any ricotta cheese because the original recipe of the lasagna alla Bolognese calls for béchamel sauce and fresh ground parmigiano. </p> <p>Maccheroni Paesani This is a really loved pasta shape, short and welcoming. We topped them with an imported taleggio cheese sauce, olive taggiasche (only in Liguria you can find this kind of olives, we import those olives directly) and ground black pepper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-of-your-favorite-dishes-at-your-favorite-restaurants#post-383097 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 09:39:52 +0000 Mrsbells 383097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont know if it counts but I love the bread at outback, and I love the broccoli soup at Longhorn Steakhouse.
