Check out local newspaper The Metropulse's reader voted lists for top restaurants and services in the area. Perennial favorites are places like Litton's, Ye Olde Steakhouse, Tomato Head, and Sunspot. In addition to the places mentioned in posts above I'd like to add Chandler's which is an amazing meat and three, Bayou Bay which is a great cajun place, and Chez Liberty and Rouxbarbs which are sort of upscale southern fusion places. If you're looking for amazing beer selections (including up and coming local favorite Marble City Brewery) and a laid back atmosphere definitely check out the Bearden Beer Market.

I spent last summer studying abroad in Cambridge. My favorite street food was the City Kabob on Regent St. near Downing College. It has the benefit of being one of the few places in the town open after midnight. And a lamb donner with greasy fries goes a long way toward sucking up booze in your stomach.

I recently did a semester abroad in the UK and loved the different chip flavors. I think builder's breakfast was the most unusual.

Some like red onion with balsamic vinaigrette or prawn cocktail would probably do quite well.

How do roasted pumpkin seeds as a garnish sound?
