Now...Taste is taste and is individual...I am not much for new england food (Hell, they don't even know what a real Red Snapper or Drum is)...and their chowder is white..(fer gawd's sake, chowder needs to be red and have oysters, not clams). I'll raise your chowder a gumbo.
I have toured all over the south as a foodie...
My shrimp and grits tastings alone cover...(and I am a shrimp and grits, among other southern foods, cook at home)
Avia...Savannah
Market Square Cafe...Savannah
The Olde Pink House....Savannah
Hominy Grill....Charleston
Poogan's Porch...Charleston
Boundry House....Calabash
Tupelo Honey...Asheville
Black Mountain Bistro...Black Mountain
Veranda...Black Mountain
Chateau Morrisette..BRP near Floyd, Va.
Sweet Onion...Waynesville
Caffe Rel...Franklin
River and Rail...Roanoke
Maya...Charlottesville
Fortify Clayton....Clayton
Jonah's Fish and Grits...Thomasville, Ga
Treo, Blue Ridge
The River House, Gruene, TX
The Gruene River Grill, Gruene
Bistro 29...Murphy
and a dozen more...my wife and I still brag about the great "Shrimp and Grits Tour" we made on the Harley.
We eat Cajun in Breaux Bridge, St. Charles and Lafayette, La...
German in Fredericksburg TX is our favorite but we have had very good german food in my father's home state (Wisconsin), New Braunfels, TX, and other places.
Believe it or not, good Italian food can be found all over.
I like visiting Washington DC for the variety of their ethnic restaurants...Ethiopian isn't may thing, but you have to sample.
San Francisco was OK...hipster oriented in some of the restaurants we visited...don't garnish my plate with a freekin' flower or offer me a wine list with $150 dollar bottles.
Steak? Never order it out...My wife says it can't match what I can do at home. Admittedly, getting prime is difficult for me out here in the sticks of WNC...but I am picky at the meat cutter and get very good cuts of choice cut to order. Local organic Angus from a farm about 15 miles down the road.
Ahhhh...food...I get windy about it..huh?
