2007 Most Serious Eater Award: Call for Entries
I'd like to nominate Seattle chef Tom Douglas who provides us with 5 restaurants (and a bakery) from which to get some truly serious eats. His menus change based on what is in season and each location offers something different and delicious.
In addition, he has written several books, hosted a culinary camp, and opened a venue a few years back for hosting private events. I met him briefly once and he is a down-to-earth, nice guy.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
In the Seattle area, there's a place off the beaten path called the OK Corral. Just ask for "the Hook Up" for some ridiculous good eats.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Are you kidding me?! I sleep on a bed of bacon!
Crispy, of course.
Eating in Vegas
I'll second the Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay. You get to pick your meat and choose from a ridiculous amount of toppings including lobster and even foie gras for the adventurous.
Another hidden favorite is Ellis Island. It's an old casino off the strip but they have awesome bbq ribs for under $10 and they brew their own beer for $1/pint.
Cook the Book: 'Savory Bread From the Mediterranean'
When I was a kid, I used to tear the crust off Wonder Bread and flatten it into a pancake. It was ten kinds of delicious.
Now I tear into pieces of fresh garlic naan and onion kulcha. And foccacia. Oh and hot, handmade tortillas. Heck, if it's bread and it's flat, I'm in!
Food Lovers' Guide to Portland, Oregon: Add Your Own Favorites
Meriwether's is a must. They use seasonal ingredients so while the menu may change, the service and food are consistently fantastic. I've never had a bad experience here and make it a point to stop in for a meal whenever I'm travelling from Seattle.

Cook the Book: 'The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook'
Chicken fried steak, double portion of fried okra with an extra side of country gravy. And I always save a space under my ribcage for a heaping dish of banana pudding.

I didn't know there was worldwide barbeque - I think I would start in the USA - go south then west to Texas.
