Your favorite restaurant? And how many times a year do you eat there?

[Papa Deuce]

OK, let's skip fast food places, and talk about real restaurants.

I have an Indian place near me called Shagun. We go about 6x a year.

[heyelander]

I have about 5 that I go to at least 20 times a year.

The local pizza place that has the only decent pizza, and a fairly good meatball parm seems me about 2-3 times a week.

Mexican place about once a month. Locally owned and really nice people!

Don't like washing dishes?

Chinese Buffet about 3 Wednesdays a month for lunch.

As far as Dinner with my wife; Moretti's Italian about 3 or 4 times a year. Mostly we like to try new things. We are located midway from Chicago and Milwaukee so we have a lot to choose from.

We just revisited a local steak house called the Backyard Steak Pit. We used to go about 4 times a year but not so much in the last several years. We had a wonderful meal and were questioning why we don't go there more often. I am guessing this will be back on the playlist.

Let's not jump to conclusions. He could be completely incompetent at cooking.

I easily go to Delfina 20X a year, probably Tacolicious as well. I also get food to go from Delfina at least that much as well. My wife is an awesome cook, so going out to eat is primarily a social thing for us, meeting friends, having some cocktails. Basically any time she says to me that "You are making dinner" it basically means, "Get us into one of our resturants". It also helps that they are all walking distance from our house

actual Delfina or Pizzeria Delfina?

There's an Italian place in the Financial District called Pachino that used to be our regular Wednesday date night place, and there's another in North Beach called Colosseo that we went to a ton until they changed their menu and got rid of our favorite dishes. And we went to U Lee, a Chinese place a block away, at least every other week until they closed recently (it was actually good, not just convenient).

My wife likes to cook but while she's in school her time and self-discipline about eating restaurant food are both way down.

It is probably 30% Delfina/65% Locanda (has a full bar)/5% Pizzeria for sit down 3 times a month, and 95% from the Pizzeria/5% Delfina for takeout 5 times a month, minimum. Basically I live on the same block as Delfina and the Pizzeria, so the Delfina empire gets over 65% of my resturant dollars in SF. It's too easy and too good. I've paid 2X Delfina prices for food 1/2 as good too many times. It used to be more like 90% until we started going to Tacolicious on Valencia and the sushi boats on Church street.

Do you ever eat red meat? A Prime Rib, Porterhouse, or Bone in Ribeye?

I have to go to a ton of steakhouses for work, I used to eat a 22oz Bone in Ribeye as my default, now I can barely eat a 12oz NY cut without tossing and turning all night. I get my fill of red meat on the road

[Fresno Bob]

Every single time I go to San Francisco someone asks me if I want to go eat New Mexican cuisine at the Green Chile Kitchen, which I've always found odd.

Their outpost called "Pie" is right across from the sushi boat place we go, good hand pies and savory pies, like green chile chicken. My guess is that they are afraid to ask if you have any meth......

My favorite is Le Bernardin in New York and I'm lucky if I get there once a year. My favorite "frequent" restaurant is Restaurant Eve in Old Town Alexandria, maybe once a month on that one.

Never heard of it... so I looked it up. It is likely a place where I would love the food, but I am way too cheap to spend what that place likely costs. I won't even go to Ruth's Chris because I feel the prices are too high. My wife and I do not drink when we go out. Well, she might get one drink, once in a while. We usually don't break $90 for the 2 of us before tip.... I'm guessing you could pay $90 for 1 person, easily in that place. Plus, besides being a cheap ass, I love a hamburger as much as I love anything else, almost. Heck, my favorite food, or close, is scrapple, LOL.

Wow...I take it you still have family connections that can score you a reservation? I love the place and have never eaten there...simply because they turned down the CEO of my company from a few lives ago cold for reservations. Since he was a preening, egotistical jackass, he whined about it for some time after.
