Food

Food, absolutely love it. I am a fan of almost all things food. Great amounts of enjoyment can be found in making your own meal, carefully preparing the ingredients and skillfuly crafting them into something wonderful. But there is also much to be said for eating out, enjoying the creations of a fine restraunt or even a fast food place. Personally I'm partial to KFC, theres something about the mashed potatoes and gravy, and the chickens ok although not as good as I remember it being years ago. Taco Hell, McDonalds, Burger King are all places I eat when I have a craving for junk food or just dont have much time for anything else, not a huge fan of those particular places.

When it comes to finer dining I can think of several places that I have enjoyed over the years. One is the Greek Deli in Portland OR., their food is simply amazing, even more so for their fair pricing. I'm not overly picky about my food but I am rather critical of desserts. They have some of the best baklava Ive had.
At home theres plenty of seafood restraunts I love but Benettis, an Italian restraunt, is defiantely a favored restraunt. Its the whole style of the place that I like. Particularly the fact that its casual, it feels like an Italian home. I know the owner and operator, several of the waiter/waitresses and I have always felt welcome there. I dont think I've ever had a bad meal there either.
However if I'm going to have seafood at home I think the Hilltop House is the one place I can always trust to have superior seafood, fresh and expertly prepared. They also haves stuffed mushrooms like Ive never had before and cant imagine I will again.
Las Vegas is definately a city I could stay in for a year and never eat at the same place twice if I didnt want. Although secluded in the middle of the mojave desert they have some of the best foods both seafood and otherwise that is always fresh, imported daily. I cant begin to count the number of different places I've eaten there but the Rainforest Cafe, although not only in Las Vegas, is one of the best in the city for its unique dining exerpience.
San Fransisco is another city I cant imagine finding a bad meal in. I was once at a small restraunt in China Town that was situated above another business and they had the most excellent pot stickers. Since that time I've eaten a lot of different pot stickers in different restaunt and most havent been that bad but this place was the best, hands down and I wish I could remember the name of it. I had breakfast the next morning along the whorf and I had scrambled eggs, corn beef and hash and it was freaking amazing. It wasnt overpowering on the seasoning, it was perfect.
The last time I was in Spokane, WA. I ate at this little restaunt with my ex-girlfriend and her friend and their burgers were fantastic. It was everything about the burger, they toasted the bun perfectly, made the burger just a little pink in the center, used a blend of things in their own sauce and their deserts were.....well interesting. It was the deep friend twinkie smothered in chocolate sauce and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnanom that caught my attention when her friend was talking about it, though my blood sugar and body just werent brave enough to even attempt that suicide mission.
