I'd go in a heartbeat. Bet it would be great. Except if the restaurant was owned/operated by Lisa. Then, no thank you. I'm with you Southern Bella.

I will eat anywhere that has Siracha on the table, even if the food sucks Siracha will make it sublime.

Definitely! I agree with the tragic hat comment but hey, this isn't Project Runway!

@jslander: Yup! Here's Adam's review of the Five Napkin Burger in Hell's Kitchen.

I'm still waiting for the Five Paper Towel Burger.

@Duc, sure she will, she reads the blogs because it gives her something to bitch and complain about, which is what she does best...

I'm so dejected that I can't afford to eat wherever it is she's ruining food these days.

Maybe some of us could save money for a couple of months and meet up there and share an appetizer?

lol @ Southern_bella - shame she'll never read your comment, as a blogger you can't afford to go to a _real_ restaurant... :roll:

- I'd certainly eat at one of the top chef places. I'm bummed Blaze up closed. Spike, although a little underhanded in the competition, knows his meat...

Definitely at Sam's, Richard's, Stephanie's or Howard's, but not at Spike's restaurant. I know Howard has a restaurant, but haven't kept up with the others.

I agree with fivrforfun. I live in Bend and the Mexican food at Pepe's rocks. My friend Marcos has a restaurant called La Rosa that is also a locals favorite.
Some really awesome burritos de carne asada can be found at El Grullense in Salem OR. In fact when I'm there I get a cooler and ice and load up before driving home... yes, that good!
