I love this place down by BU - it is an Asian food court called Super 88 - it is called something else now - but everyone still calls it Super 88.

The Vietnamese Pho Viets is amazing. Very popular. Love it.

I love Pho too, b.

We go to a little place downtown that is in a converted old house. Not much seating, but the food is awesome.

There is a little Pho place by our house, and hubby gets a HUGE bowl of rare steak Pho and adds tons of peppers and hot sauce to it. He's sweating like crazy about 4 bites in. I feel like he's gonna pull a Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly. Lol!! He loves it like that! At the Thai place, they ask him 1-5 on spice, and he will tell them 6 or 7. The look the lady gives him is always priceless.

We love Jason's deli for lunch (I love their salad bar) and PF Changs for Dinner (ginger chicken or shanghai shrimp). I also love Eddie Merlot's for ahi, but we don't go often as it's so expensive.

Win, I L-O-V-E Jason's for the salad bar!!!! Hubby always tells me my plate looks like I brought the whole garden back to the table with me. Lol! I put everything on it!! And their red pepper hummus is TDF! I was just talking to a coworker about it today and now I'm hungry for it. I'm going to make hubby take me this wknd. Have a nice night!!

I rarely eat out anymore, at least for dining out. Occasionally I do takeout when I don't feel like cooking, but home is where most meals happen. That is a huge change for me from several years ago when I dined out most of the week, and when I did cook at home it was usually grilling outdoors. When I lived in Denver, soooo many great restaurants to pick from, but two favorites were The Fresh Fish Co. (for a land-locked restaurant, they flew in fresh fish daily and it was always affordable and delicious) like a coastal seafood place without the ocean view. The other is India's, the best Indian restaurant in the state, IMO. My godfather who is Pakistani, and knows his good curry, discovered it years ago when he was in town for my wedding. Our family went there for 20 years before I moved out of state. Every time we visited, even if it was months between, the owners remembered us and what we liked, and they always were kind enough to send us a round of after dinner drinks on them. The food was always delicious, but it was being treated like family that made the difference.

Where I am now, we have pretty generic restaurants.... sad when it became a big deal that Olive Garden came to town. There is one incredible and authentic Italian restaurant called Martinelli's that has been around for years. We have one hibachi-style restaurant that does amazing sushi. The one place we are famous for is the Cozy Inn, for their little hamburger sliders. You can never get away with eating at the Cozy... people can smell it on you, but they are yummy!

I am sort of stunned at the number of posters who seem "afraid" to eat out...

Me too... probably more germs in their own homes. Life is about exploration and having fun. I'm never afraid to eat in a restaurant, sometimes it's a risk, but some of the best food I've ever had came from a place that looked like a total dive. *shrugs* I lived to tell about it.

Cozy Inn...sounds like my kind of place . I love sliders.

I don't think I have a favorite restaurant. We are lucky to have many good choices. My favorite type, though, would be Italian or steak house.

Has anyone stumbled on to MaryAnn's Kitchen in Anacortes? It's our favorite breakfast/lunch place there.

Yes, I believe that's the one that my friend goes to when she is in Anacortes. Her favorite used to be Calico Cupboard before that. You must also be in North Seattle. We should meet at one of these places for lunch...maybe we can get Tansy to come across to bridge to meet us.
