What is your favorite meal that you leave your house to go eat? It can be as simple as a big mac, or a complex sushi dish.

Mine depends on the restaurant. I like Burgers from Portillos, but my all time favorite place to eat is East China Inn. I don't know how big of a franchise it is or if it's only in the Chicago area, but their Chow Mein and beef is orgasmic. So good.

What are yours?

I went to a habachi once, and they cooked this really fucking good yakisoba, and the presentation was pretty swag too. Didn't taste anything like it. I haven't had it for years, I'd like to try it again once I travel back to Japan.

I would kill to go to either China or Japan. Asian food is the shit, and I really like the culture. One day I'll have money...one day.

There's this family owned Thai restaurant in my are that makes delicious country pod thai. The sad thing is how cheap and risky the place (and doubtless many others like it) looks if you haven't been there before.

I usually tell people that everyone should attempt to travel to Japan at least once in their life if they can afford it, especially if you've never traveled and have primarily lived in the Western hemisphere. I haven't met a person who hasn't enjoyed Japan, and some people have said it was eye-opening.

The thing about Chinese food that I've noticed is that it seems to be heavily affected by local cultures more than any other cuisine. Chinese food in China is different from Chinese food in the US which is different from Chinese food in Japan which is different from Chinese food in Korea. You might be surprised if you ever go to Shanghai and try a dumpling there. Even Chinese food from different domestic cities are very different.

1. McDonalds medium fries. $2.50 for salty salty potatoes. Worth.
2. Sushi nigiri pack. More expensive reserved on special occasions. Sometime when I want to splurge I combine it with medium fries. $8.50.
3. Tacos. Only on Tuesdays because they go for $2.50.

honorable mentions. A bowl of pho for $9.50. Every once in a while it is the shit. But too often it can get pretty old for me unlike the other ones.

and yes my tastebuds are sensitive to price.e

edit: @ Raptor. How affordable is the food and other stuff in Japan?

Hmm...
I would say food in taiwan overall. Fried Pork Chop: MM.

Stuff in Japan is usually kind of expensive, but I moved from Japan before the earthquake occured and I heard prices changed after that. Not sure how it is now.

Lmao I was still in Japan to do some stuff when that earthquake happened. Shits scary yo

Did no one ever tell you guys about delivery?

I have a fear of chefs spitting on my food or doing worse stuff to it, so I rarely go out... I know, I'm weak.

going out i usually get something along the lines of eye fillet steak with chips, salad, beer

found this great place that delivers chicken parmigianas (again, with chips and salad) to my house though so i've been eating a lot of that lol

I'll be damned if I go to a restaurant and order anything besides the steak
went to this one place in manhattan recently that had chicken fried steak and that shit was glorious

If it is about restaurants as real restaurants, it depends on which part of Italy I am and the peculiar dishes of that place

If it is about restourants as generic, we got pizzerias

oh, i saw one restaurant had this meal

iirc it was steak, with cheese, wrapped in bacon, enclosed in pastry. looked fucking great but wasn't available the day i was there

I always go with a cheeseburger and fries. Always. Unless the restaurant has spicy chicken wings. Then I order the hottest kind they have, and the wings are never very spicy. Only Buffalo Wild Wings and this local bar near me have really spicy wings. Of course, anything considered spicy to me is considered inedible to mostly everyone else. I even have some hot sauces in my fridge that my trucker uncle got me from North Dakota. They are unrelenting. I'm the only person I know that can handle more than a drop of that stuff. Anyway, I guess my favorite restaurant is a local steakhouse. Nothing spicy there.
