Your Favorite place to dine out?
 
So uh, what's your favorite place to dine out?

Mine is this little mexican place called La Finca (The Farm in English)

Anyway it's about an hour and 10 minutes away from my house, but guess what? I love it soooo much that I made the trip about 4 times a week last summer...

If gas didn't cost so much, and I still had a job, I'd probably still be doing that this summer also.

Lol, I'm a loser but they have the best Tortilla chips and Salsa, and great Chicken Enchiladas, and awesome Taco Salad with chicken, and everything about that place is awesome!!!

I love going to an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant called Sui Sha Ya. You just basically order whatever you want and they bring it out to you all for one lunch charge of like $8 canadian. For dinner it's more like $15, but that's when they have the delicacies out.

I went for my last birthday party. :)

If you want to include the 20 hour drive my favorite place is Casa Bonita. It is a mexican restaurant with cliff divers. It is awesome.
A five hour drive will take me to my other favorite mexican place, Taco Hut... better food than Casa Bonita but less atmosphere. It is still great!
Closer to home, here in Kirksville, I would say that my favorite place to eat is Aileron's because they have great sandwiches and good soup.

Theres this Japanese restaurant place downtown, i dont know the name, but it has the best sushi and sticky rice. Its like all you can eat, and freakeshly cheap too. I dont know for sure, but i think instead of "all-you-can-eat" its called "Dim sum"..or that just be the restaurant name. But anyways, pretty much any Japanese restaurant i like.

The Mandarin is kick ass. Lunch buffet only costs 7.99 Canadian. All you can eat chicken balls makes me very happy.

I also love The Keg. It's pricey, but aweomse. My bill usually comes out around $50 (not including drinks).

Dim sum is the name of the meal.. and Dim Sum is Chinese, not Japanese.

There's a lot of all-you-can-eat Japanese places here now and they're all crap. Food is always cold, horrible quality.. It sucks.

I enjoy this place called the Hibachi Grill which is a Japanese Steak house. This is one of those places where the chefs cook right in front of you and do tricks with knives and spatulas, it's nice. The steak and shrimp combo is the ultimate meal there...you get the aforementioned items plus many vegetables and rice.

For a cheaper and more lunchy meal I like to go to Deerhead hotdogs, which is a great hotdog place in Wilmington, DE.

Uh... That reminds me of that episode of South Park where Cartman wants to go to a Mexican Restaurant called Casa Bonita. Lol.

The Keg is definately my favourite place for dinner.

The last time I was there I went with friends for my birthday...I had a 20 oz. T-Bone steak, giant baked potato, and a couple strawberry daquiris. It was very expensive, but worth it. The waitress saw that my one friend and I (he had the same thing) had finished our meals and she started clapping lightly and said "wow...you guys are KINGS". That's another thing about the Keg...the service is unbeatable. That particular waitress was SOOO nice, and quite funny...and quite attractive ;)

Benihana's is a good Japanese grill too. Entertaining AND yummy.

umm, theres this place i used to go with my family, an oriental buffet place. The food was decent, but what kept my family coming back was the fact that they had great sushi as part of the buffet................sushi kicks ass.
in any case it was a bit pricey compared to the mandarin and stuff, for a meal for my family (three people), we usually paid around 50 dollars.

for anybody that loves around north york, toronto, the place is called oriental feast.

I love :confused: around north york sometimes. I'll check it out.


There's a nice little Japanese diner right near the sails in downtown Kelowna. It's expensive but the food is great.





And about that Casa Bonita thing. I totally thought that it was made up by the south park dudes. Maybe to imitate a restaurant but not actually refer to a real one.

Anyway, that was a great SP episode.
