Crave Real Food: The menu at this restaurant in Castle Rock, Colorado, has a myriad of unusual and delicious burgers such as the "Cubano," which includes a beef patty topped with ham, chorizo scrambled eggs, breaded fried pork loin, a split and griddled hot dog, avocado, tomato, and chipotle mayo in between two egg buns.

Mozzarella Bar: The $29.50 tasting at the Italian chain Obikà is for the biggest of mozzarella fans. What you get is far from "rubbery hunks of Polly-O," but after awhile it all starts to look (and taste) the same.

Antonio's Pizzeria: Good ol' family tradition is alive and well at this pizza joint in Sherman Oaks, California. The pies are just as unpretentious as the red checkered cloths that cover each table.

John Dory Revival: This popular Manhattan oyster bar is back with a Mediterranean twist, where diners can try "bracingly briny, freshly shucked oysters, some from both coasts" in a casual and slightly kitschy environment.

Delicious Drive-In Burgers: The delicious side of fast food is showcased at Capitol Burgers, a SoCal drive-in whose food (and prices) are still stuck in in a '50's timewarp.

Veraci Pizza: The pizza from this brick and mortar restaurant in Seattle suffers from a "pasty sauce and bland cracker crust," but the pies from their roving mobile cart seem to fare much better.
