actual restaurants we only have chains

vancouver here, sushi is amazing here, chains like cactus and earls are also pretty nice. also the donair and curry are pretty good. basically tons of asian food. fuck i remember when i was in high school there was an amazing sushi place a block away and wed go there on lunch break

Non-existant

>t. flyover

>>12504442
Phenomenal if you like seafood, outstanding for everything else.

Savannah, Ga has gotten pretty good in the last five or six years. Alot of new hipster style restaraunts but atleast their utilizing more local ingredients. Decades old mainstays like my favorite, Elizabeth's are still here. Picture related

Pretty good, washington DC suburb, so I have quick access to DC itself, Northern Virginia, Southern Montgomery county.

If I want to go a bit further afield i've got Columbia and Baltimore, or Annapolis.

Can't really ask for much more.

NYC here. Complete overrated garbage. Food I make at home is better than 99% of resturants in this piss hole.

>>12505951
DCfag here. Which dystopian suburb do you live? Few restaurants outside the city can hold a candle to what you can find here.

>Greeneville, TN
The restaurant scene is virtually nonexistent other than fast food, but oddly enough we have an excellent supermarket selection for a town this size, including a Publix and a Kroger - which means two of my three favorite chains (now all we need is a Wegmans). So at least I can cook good stuff for my boyfriend here at home.

Potomac

>>12504442
Fucking too much. The flyover meme is wrong in my town, everybody and their mother knows somebody that owns a local diner or restaurant. Never any foreign food though, just standard diner fare like breakfast and sandwiches.

we have a bit of everything, 1.500.000 city

>>12504442
Pretty good overall but we have way too many retarded "americana fusion" hipster brewpubs and tons of completely garbage asian places that shouldn't pass code but are probably bribing the inspectors

>>12506265
Which anyone with an IQ marginally above 90 could prepare themselves better than those flyover shitholes masquerading as restaurants. That's why intelligent people forced by circumstances to live in BFE learn to cook.

>>12504442
one of the best of the world, thanks for asking.

(chicago btw)

>>12504442
ive never been to a restaurant

>>12506156
Sandy Spring here. I was just at founding farmers in Potomac last week. It was JUST OKAY HIPSTER FARE. Don't really reccomend it

Pizza and burgers with way too many toppings for way to much money

>>12506566
montana or nebraska born and bred?

>>12506584
well what did you order? They have a massive menu

>>12506636
BBQ pulled pork sandwich. It wasn't bad, but I should have known better than to get bbq not at a bbq place. Thinking of going to passionfish in Bethesda tonight. That place is great

>>12506023
The fuck? Where are you eating idiot? I live in the Bronx and there are tons of great restaurants around me.

>>12506621
vancouver

>city
Closest cities (Akron/Canton)near me have a few hispanic markets that make some decent tacos, and there's a couple steakhouses and bars that do a good job on traditional fair, but nothing is too exciting here. The farmer's markets and small grocers have really good produce though and I'm about a 20 minute drive to a family livestock farm/butcher with really high quality meat

Copenhagen here
>Noma

But the real winner is the fact that close to every street has a kebab place, especially the part of town where I live.
>Kebab is the GOAT 4am drunk food

>>12506661
>passionfish
Good choice, my grandmother takes me every few weeks for lunch, and dinner every few months.

And yeah, I have never had the BBQ at Founding Farmers, but their pasta has been fucking on point, and their dry aged steak was pretty solid too.

Does a gas station buffet with mac n cheese, fried chicken, french fries count as a restaurant?

If that counts then we have only 3 restaurants, 2 if it doesn't. The other two are a run of the mill diner and a Mexican Restaurant.

Are either of you gay in real life? I travel through DC a lot to visit some friends in Arlington and could use a good hookup. We could cook together and have mad sex afterwards.

Edinburgh. Pretty good for fine dining and seafood, some very good French and Italian restaurants, gastropubs and a lot of the hipster places I tolerate because the food is decent. Indian and Chinese hit and miss. Glasgow has the best curry in Scotland, big Asian population.

Don't live in a city but I live in a small town that services a wine region so there's a couple of nice cafes a really nice pub, and a few good restaurants. Pretty comfy.

>>12506757
>glazed bacon lolis
Looks like kino is back on the menu, boys

>>12506988
No wonder people here are so hostile towards and ignorant of any food that isn't greasy shit

>>12504442
I love the Big Fish Grill on the Riverfront in Wilmington Delaware.

>>12504442
Wilmington DE is a great place to live especially if you're a foody, really lovely people, nice place to have a family.

>>12504442
Tex mex and barbecue out the wazoo. Lots of pho and Thai/Laotian places. All the chains. Some fine dining around downtown but not like the other side of the metropolitan area. Guess my city?

>>12506988
>Does a gas station buffet with mac n cheese, fried chicken, french fries count as a restaurant?
We have a gas station restaurant that is pretty highly regarded because they would only give the chef a loan for a gas station. It's not a buffet though, but they do feature one of those ridiculously garnished bloody Mary's on weekends, so it has that going against it.

>>12506997
>cringe

New Orleans, and you know the answer.

>>12504442
Vegas. Some of the best in the world. A great range of cheap shit to world-class experiences.

Although, I wish shit was more available out in the suburbs. I'm always jealous when I go to Cali or NYC and there's food in real walking distance.

>>12507357
You ever do the 35 dollar lunch at the Greek seafood place in the cosmo? I heard that's one of the best values on the planet.

>>12504442
i literally ate only wendys for a month because they had a free daves single with any purchase

>>12507051
they're actually good too

>>12507343
Shreveport, and you know the answer.

>>12507322
Seriously are you? I'll cook you a four course breakfast and suck you dry. You'd never get any better treatment from any man or woman... you get food and your dick sucked....

I can put a wig on if you like and you can close your eyes. I love sucking a big dick and getting a nice big load of cum.

>$20 for a plate of spaghetti
I hope all restaurants burn to the fucking ground.

>>12507628
You pay more than that?

>>12507622
>>12507322
I'm playing with my diamonds now imagining you blowing several loads in my mouth. You get breakfast and a blowjob and I get a natural protein shake.

I will not only suck your dick but massage your balls, to entice them to give up your seed. Sound good?

>>12504442
I live in the middle of nowhere, it's mom and pop diners,and greasy dives, but we got a Denny's a few years ago.

>>12507633
Like I give a fuck
>muh commercially zoned rent
>muh salary for person to walk food to my table
>muh salary for an entire business
>muh tips
No, bitch. There's no way a $20 plate of spaghetti can be that good or justified. My aglio e olio would kick the shit out of it anyway.

>>12507646
The best spaghetti I ever had was 32 bucks and it was worth every penny. Every other spaghetti dish I've had since then tastes like stouffers frozen spaghetti.

>>12507646
The hell is anglio e elio?

>>12507555
Ewww every day? I would have vomited after one week.

>>12507660
pasta, water, salt, olive oil, and garlic. takes practice getting the technique right, but if you can do it correctly then you've mastered spaghetti

>>12507684
I love this. But I can never help adding a tiny tiny skosh of chunky, low-salt marinara. Wether you think this is blasphemy or not, al dente pasta and olive oil are just the most deceptively simple yet incredibly delicious combination. Spaghetti with meatballs is pretty boring by contrast.

>>12505890

You Vancouverites sure lap up the Japanese Chains like the second coming of christ though. Or the newest Bubble tea franchise among bubble tea franchises

Toronto, terrible. Everything is some ridiculous hipster reinvention of the wheel for $20+ a plate, or cringy Asian fusion cuisine made by 'cool asians' with tattoo sleeves. Good shawarma and caribbean food, though.

>>12504442
Sacramento; Used to be some pretty decent spots but hipsters and Bay Area faggots are ruining everything and driving up the prices. The place I used to go for Charcuterie and scotch had a fucking bouncer the last time I went.

There's still some pretty good local favorites and fine dining is less than an hour away, you can head to SF, Napa, or any of the surrounding areas for pretty much any kind of food you desire.

Small town in the pacific northwest

Nothing
The only things worth eating is diner food, and diner food isn't worth paying for.

We used to have a good Chinese place, but it closed. I miss LA food even if I don't miss LA.

>>12507889
What's the one place in LA you would eat at if you could?

>>12507926
LA is flyover so probably diner food

>>12504442
>Richmond, VA
It sucked 15 years ago, but there’s been a lot of urban renewal in the city since then, and the restaurant scene is way better. ZZQ is one of the better barbecue places I’ve ever been to. Boulevard Burger & Brewing is a genuinely awesome burger joint. Proper Pie does meat pies par excellence. And I love the City Diner for breakfast. So there’s a lot around. Way better than the old days.

>Seattle
Good, but stupidly expensive. I miss my cheap slabs o meat and deep dish from Chicago.

>>12507926
There was a really nice hole in the wall pho place I would go to a lot. I would stop after work all the time.

I have to drive a good 2 hours now if I want pho.

>>12507943
My dude, city diner was my go to everytime I visited my brother. Edo’s squid is 100% hands down a must go to

>>12507091
>Wilmington DE
>Great place to have a family

>In the 2000s, while most cities had seen a decrease in crime and murder, Wilmington had broken its record for homicides in a single year multiple times. In 2017, Wilmington saw an even steeper increase in crime. By August 2017, Wilmington had already eclipsed the homicide total of 2016 despite only being 2/3 through the year.
>In 2014, Wilmington recorded 28 homicides, making for a rate of 39.5 per 100,000 residents, which is ten times the national average
>In 2017, Wilmington was ranked as the 5th most dangerous city in the US.

I'm sure it's vibrant and ethnically diverse, though.

>>12507014
Asian or "Asian"?

>>12507130
Heh I love the pho place called Pho Kim Long. It's not the best but is 24 hours.

>>12507357
Nice Vegas here too. I'm in Spring Valley at Rainbow and Trop. There are lots of places within 8 to 15 minutes, but I usually prefer to cook at home.

>>12507628
That's why I often get an appetizer or two to pick on instead of an entree.

>>12507684
I'd eat it if it were angel hair. I hate spaghetti.

Restaurants everywhere. Whole streets lined with them. Often one street will have 2-3 or even more of the same type of restaurant. The most common and widespread restaurants are crayfish restaurants and beef noodle restaurants.

>>12507684
Needs a squeeze of lemon.

The trend now:
Açaí bowls (and cups to go)
Gelattos
Sfihas

>>12507807
You have any recommendations in Sacramento? I visit there almost every other year for family and am looking to try something new the next time I'm there.

>>12508674
Angel hair is only meant to be served in broth.

>>12508710
Why? I honestly know nothing about Italian food. I just don't like spaghetti compared with angel hair.

>>12508746
Angel hair is too wimpy to properly stand up to sauce. Tortellini is also only supposed to be served in broth, probably because that's how it was originally eaten.

>>12508620
Sorry I’m not a /pol/tard so I have no idea what you mean.

>>12504442
Atlanta's restaurant scene is shit. People claim its good but its mostly hipster shit with fad menus.

Charleston, a city less than 1/5th the size of Atlanta, has a better restaurant scene than we do.

>>12508658
We had Pho King Way until the other whites figured it out.

>>12504442
I live right next to RTP NC. Its not bad, but holy shit why is there so much asian food lacking? I WANT BEEF YAKISOBA GOD DAMNIT IT HAS BEEN an entire YEAR and i have not been able to find a single place that serves this.

GIVE ME ASIAN FOOD!

>>12509266
I meant that UK refers to Middle Easterners and Indians as Asian. But you probably did know what I was talking about.

>>12509266
paki or chink

>>12504442
There's an Ethiopian restaurant right near by me. Dunno if I'll ever go there, since Ethiopian food seems best eaten at the restaurant and not at home. I don't want to eat alone at the place, would like a friend or something to go with but I have no one. Oh well.

Other than that, Austin is full of BBQ places. Haven't gone to any yet. Really the only restaurants I've "explored" are all fast food. There's also a nice Indian place, but I want to find a good Lebanese shop. Love me some dolmas.
