Food

Luke's post on BBQ got me thinking about favorite places to eat. A few of my favorite places are no longer in business, but I will list them anyway. This list isn't in any particular order. Some of these restaurants have great or unique food, some great atmosphere, and some a combination of all good things. It is a rather eclectic list covering many years of eating.

Kathy's Kitchen - There's nothing better than good homestyle cooking around your own table with your family. I'd rather eat there than anywhere else!

Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbeque - Kansas City BBQ doesn't get any better than this!

Garcia's Pizza - If you went to the U of I in the 70's, Frank and Joe(the Flying Tomato Brothers) made the pizza.

Antlers - Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The best taxidermy restaurant in Michigan, perhaps the U.S.

Moe's - Oregon coast. Great clam chowder with an ocean view.

Chart Room Restaurant - Land's End Resort at the end of the Homer spit, Homer, Alaska. Fresh Halibut doesn't get any fresher than watching the boats bring it in with the Aleutian Range for a backdrop.

Houston's at the Plaza - Great steaks, great food.

The Italian Village - Downtown Chicago. Quaint village atmosphere. They have a great seafood pasta with shrimp, clams, and squid that is my personal favorite. The squid are whole and bite size and really cool to eat.

The Original Jumer's - This was a classic! Great German food and great atmosphere. I haven't been back since it changed hands. It might still be good.

Patty's - Grand Rivers, Kentucky. Delicious, thick pork chops, bread baked in clay flower pots, and mile high pies.

Healy Roadhouse - Healy, Alaska. Just outside McKinley National Park. Prime rib with a view!

Hungry Tiger - California chain. Started by some former WW II "Flying Tigers" pilots. They flew in fresh seafood daily from around the world. I don't think they are around anymore.

Bar D Chuckwagon - Durango, Colorado. Cowboy food and cowboy music in cowboy country. Also similar is Bar J Chuckwagon in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

I'm making myself very hungry! What are your favorite places?

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. Psalms 78:24,25
