We were in Savannah last summer (car-free also) and loved our dinner at the The Olde Pink House Restaurant. It was a wonderful southern cusine meal. Moon River Brewing Company is a nice casual place. As far as places to see - a horse carriage tour is a must! You can catch on in a Market place all thoughout the day.

Favorites in San Diego Area?

If you'll be in a mood for good seafood, Anthony's (right downtown on N Harbor Dr) is very good and they have two parts to the restaurant - casual (with very budget prices) and a fancier one next door.

How was your (wedding) food?

We had our wedding at a french restaurant Hermitage Inn at Clifton, VA and spend most of the budget on food and wine. The food was amazing! And everyone still talks about our wedding cake. We were hoping to eat at this restaurant for our 10th anniversary but we just recently found out that Hermitage Inn closed down. We still have our memoires :)

Is there a "cooking gene?" What (and when) makes a cook tick?

In my family the cooking gene seems to skip a generation :)

PIZZA! Thick crust or thin crust?

Thin is the winner for me.

Bison Burger.

I also LOVE bison burgers. The only kind I make at home. It's easy to overcook the bison burgers though, so it depends on a quality of the restaurant how good they are.

Help me make pasta.

You can definitely make the ravioli without the pasta machine. Just roll the dough out really thin and use a wine glass to cut the circles out.
