I am a huge fan of ginger ale and Blenheim is my favorite. When I was in North Carolina I tried both the hot and not so hot and both were fantastic, and now that you can find it here in Seattle, all the better. Now all ginger ale tastes watered down to me. I want it to be spicy! Saying that however, I also tried a ginger ale from Jamaica that I just bought off the shelf of the soda aisle in North Carolina because one of the ingredients was capsaicin. Now that was a hot ginger ale! I wish I remembered the brand.

I lived in Dallas for about a year and one of the few things I truly miss about the place is the enchiladas from El Fenix.

@healthytouch101 Agree with everything you said! I love Blenheim because I love the taste of ginger! Those first few remind me of soda water.

For us west coasters, I bought some at Whole Foods a week or so ago in Seattle.

A tour of France for wine and pâté

@kathyvegas I was going to mention that burger too!

One of the best veggie burgers I have ever had was from Burger Bar in Las Vegas. Looks like the recipe was posted online so I am definitely going to try it sometime. I think if you try it, you will be very happy with it.

I really like my husband's smoked pork shoulder or tasso ham.

German chocolate cake and a glass of milk!

Ahh! I say make your own. Like peekpoke says, wait until chuck goes on sale and have the butcher grind it or grind it yourself.

Lamb shanks, braised till they fall off the bone.

Having Burgermaster on this list is a huge fail in my book. Their burgers are not good in a wilty lettuce, grainy tomato, and tasteless beef sort of way. There are so many other places in the city that would have been deserving of their spot. Hello Lunchbox Laboratory?!?!?

The only restaurant I have ever been to where people stand outside and beg for your leftovers!
