It doesn't have to be fancy.

Like Kati Junction at 40th between Seventh and Eighth.

Get the chicken tikka masala w/ egg roll, a pistachio lassi, and wander into Midtown Comic one storefront over, or the Drama Bookstore a little further down.

Thank me later.

Now you.

but those lines...

That good, huh?

it's mostly Spanish Basque, but there is some French. Many restaurants.

Las Palmas, a Mexican grocery store on a side street in Oakland has a stand that makes PHENOMENAL tacos. I get them most Saturday afternoons. We've taken friends visiting from out of town, and they're usually floored (of course we don't take Chicago friends).

Best BBQ in town.

http://www.holyhogbbq.com/

They have banging food and a DJ every night after 10PM spinning house and rare grooves.

It sits on top of an Art Gallery with a dope little bar in it.

DROkayplayer: Giving you good puff since May '05

http://www.asahisushifellspoint.com/xe/

http://www.lexingtonmarket.com/

my fave spots:
Faidley's (Raw Bar)
Mt. Olympus (huge baked potatoes)
Krausner's (thanksgiving sandwich)
Angie's Soul Food (Hogmaws & Chittlings)
Parks Fried Chicken (wings, liver, gizzards and half & half)
Mary Mervis (stuffed shrimp salad sandwich)
Gordon's (jamaican...their goat is fiyah!)

i tried to get baked potatoes from this black spot called Dancing Potato that i saw on IG.

***
I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

i just take it up to mt. Olympus

LOL
Just know we got eats!

ps. I've hosted 2 Baltimore Fun Days.
If a few players are down, I'd be up to doing a few more
Mostly they consist of eat, drinking and showing the city through my eyes. :)

I can't front I saw an ep on the food channel that made me think damn I need to check out some spots down there. Looks delicious even if I don't eat crab.

come on down

http://www.yelp.com/biz/cabo-fish-taco-charlotte

http://www.yelp.com/biz/landmark-diner-restaurant-charlotte

Greek owned... insane dessert display. Big portions

Peruvian Chicken... never disappoints

http://www.vivachicken.com/ordereze/default.aspx

best brunch in Charlotte... always filled with a few cuties too.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/zada-janes-corner-cafe-charlotte

Lot 2, French Bulldog: wines, cheeses, pork belly sandwiches. French Bulldog specifically cures their own meats and all of them are fucking succulent as a tit. Lot 2 changes their menu seasonally but right now they do a Salmon burger that's just as dope as a regular burger.

La Buvette: more for the atmosphere than the food in my opinion, but so many people swear by it.

http://labuvetteomaha.com

Block 16: Three seemingly steroid-infused pieces of chicken and a side of fries for $4.25. Cheaper than fast food chicken, twice as filling and locally sourced. They also started a pretty funny series of Youtube videos having head chefs around town read mean Yelp reviews ala Jimmy Kimmel.

http://block16omaha.com

Mula: California street-style tacos in an upscale atmosphere. $2.50 a taco (you generally want three to five though) plus a ton of great tequila drinks and a $3 shot that's always quality like Espolon or Tres Agaves in your choice of blanco or reposado.

http://mulaomaha.com

Lisa's Radial Cafe: When you've gotta have breakfast, this is my favorite diner I've ever been to. 11-Worth Cafe is better if you want the trucker, down on your luck sort of vibe, but at Lisa's I love to order two or three things with their massive french toast and make my own custom sandwich out of them. And you know you have a great diner when their "website" is just their urban spoon page.

http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/248/1152021/restaurant/Midtown/Lisas-Radial-Cafe-Omaha


Nite Owl: Primarily a bar but their Korean-style wings (10 pieces for $10) may just be the best fucking wings outside of a major BBQ town, and they serve right up until 2:00AM.

http://www.niteowlomaha.com

Avoli Osteria: Italian spot on the higher end of things (not that you'd know from their web design which is surprisingly outdated compared to most sites from the city) but just about every entree is served big enough for two people, the problem is they're prepared delicious enough for half a person.

The Drover and their whiskey marinade, dimly lit '70's steakhouse vibe, tiny salad bar, saddles on the wall, they only give a fuck about the steaks, and damn are they good

Caribbean Delight for Jamaican

http://www.caribbeandelight.info/Menu.html


homemade ice cream at Ted & Wally's to finish it off



good look on the mention of Block 16, I agree

It's actually a Buffalo Bills bar serving Buffalo style pizza, but it's really good.

AND, they cut that pizza in squares. The Chicago in me appreciates that.

I wanted to go to Gatlins but they're closed..

Fish Sub is theeeee best fish sub in the city.

Shrimp and Grits!!!!


Lemon Pepper Wings. Seriously.

Another Yabba Pot Cafe alum owns this...in the very spot where Yabba Pot used to be in Charles Village.


Excellent smoothies and top shelf vegetarian food.

A Thai Food spot in the North east (On harford rd two blocks past Northern Parkway)


Best Pad Thai in the city since Remembering Saigon shut down.

In Lauraville on the East side near Morgan State.

Has won "Best Crabcake" a couple of times, which means something..

and its as good as advertised.

Excellent fish and chips basket as well.

Just moved from Lauraville to the Belvedere Square food court.


Chef grew up on Cajun food and has brought his expertise to the city.

Awesome Po'Boy sandwiches and excellent Pizza too

Is it hood? You betta believe it.

Is it worth navigating for the food? You best believe that too.


I'm spoiled because I can literally walk to Koko's Pub from my house...but Wifey is from the West Side, and she swears by Windsor Inn. Crab Cakes are ridiculous. If you from out of town though, just be sensible and its worth the trip.

Yes, that is the name. No its not Black owned or operated.

Is the chicken good? According to the folks that came to my party in January, who cleaned out a whole tray of this bird in like 15 minutes, "Its that Crack!"

They put sugar on the chicken after it comes out of the fryer.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out years later that its an experiment being conducted by Johns Hopkins.


But yeah, its here and folks eat it like its going extinct.

all the tacos except for the fish/seafood tacos are the best

both really good truck that specialize in seafood tacos. right now the shrimp tostadas are my jam

exotic game meats and some of the best cocktails in SD

the champagne slurpees and the dirty fries

the fried chicken sandwich tastes exactly like chic-a-fila's sandwich, but better. the fries are garbage, just stick with the sandwich.

(shee-o-gen-soo-i)

Best ramen I've had since moving to Kyoto, nothing fancy, just a nice casual sit down restaurant featuring amazing ramen, fried rice and chicken karaage (fried chicken). Usually ginger and or garlic are mixed in the breading before the chicken is fried..great stuff! Few pics


ramen (including braised pork, bamboo shoots, chrysanthemum leaf)

Baltimore sounds like "the" food spot, dag yo!!

One of my favorite Miami food blogs: http://www.fatgirlhedonist.com

it's a sports bar with decent prices. the teriyaki wings are LOVE. 20x for $10

Thought I was gonna say Mama Js or Croaker Spot, huh?

Where can I eat something exquisite? I need sautéed bear or something crazy.

horse, whale and poison blow fish.

I need something exotic like an extinct animal.

Yes, I've had eel as well, though its so common I don't think of it as exotic. The eel was roasted and coated in a soy, sugar sauce, was pretty good, though I'm not crazy about it. Tastes like white fish, not much of a taste really.

The poison blow fish left my lips and tongue tingling a bit, I thought I'd been poisoned.. SMH
