Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'
Tomatoes, strawberries and peppers.
Unique to: San Francisco
Cafe Jacqueline in North Beach. It's a souffle restaurant, run by old lady Jacqueline herself, in the same location for decades. Prepare for a savoury souffle for dinner, and a sweet souffle for dessert. They are so well done.
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
Oyster tacos at Go Fish in Vancouver are awesome.

Another Meme: The 100 Chinese Foods to Try Before You Die
Hmm, I think I got this list almost covered. The only things left are: Hot coca-cola with ginger, red bayberry, roast pigeon and Yunnan goat cheese. My problem is that I rather die than eat a pigeon. Childhood trauma. Don't ask.
Hamburger Mary's, a Gay-Friendly Burger Franchise
Years ago, I took overnight trips to Portland frequently and insisted on dining at the Hamburger Mary's there on all occasions. I thought their hamburgers were superb. Not long ago, I visited the Hamburger Mary’s in Vancouver (Canada), and though their burger wasn’t bad, their service was just awful.

Well, I'd like to be able to cook all types of cuisine at home, but if had to pick a favorite, it'd be Chinese food. That is mostly due to the fact that I havn't really been exposed to many "exotic" cuisines like Indian or thai.
