I like finding a deal in everything I do and going out to a nice restaurant is no exception. I do not dine out often as I feel that it's often quite expensive, and I could probably cook a meal that is almost as good if not better. However I will admit I love the fact that I don't have to clean up! That's why I always look forward to Restaurant Week. For those of you not familiar with it, Restaurant Week is a week (or two) event where a number of restaurants participate and offer a prix fixe menu at a certain price. After doing some research and talking with friends, a number of cities have an event like this including Austin, TX, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Kansas City, and New York City, to name...

When we think of Italy, there are different things that we generally associate with the country. Art, culture, and history - these are all things which we will think of in connection to Italy eventually, but there is one aspect of Italy in particular which we associate automatically to Italy and that's excellent cuisine. People visiting Tuscany will be excited about sampling the delicious gourmet food we know will be on offer to us. However, with so many restaurants in this region (around 1,800), it's difficult to know where to start. To help you on your way, here are our 5 favourite restaurants in Tuscany. Cantine Bernardini in Lucca is known for being one of the best restaurants in the area...

There are, quite literally, thousands of restaurants in Provence! Over the past couple of decades we’ve tried to sample as many as humanly possible – but we are beginning to realise that we’ve hardly scraped the surface! Here are some brief notes on just a selection of the restaurants we have eaten in (and enjoyed!) over the last few years. Most of them are in the Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhone regions of Provence (our favorite stamping grounds), with just the occasional foray into the Var and the Alpes Maritimes. Some (not all) of the restaurants have their own websites. These include photos, sample menus, wine lists, etc. One or two even have virtual tours and online reservation...

Be it weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christening or baptism or corporate and professional events, food plays the second most important part in any social gathering, apart from the reason why the event is taking place in the first place. Any event is virtually incomplete without a feast and this has been the most part of the celebrations, right from the pre-historic times. Since Sydney has become such a favored destination among tourists for hosting their events, some world class caterers have come up, serving the choicest cuisines from different parts of the world. You can get almost any caterer of your choice to serve for your lunch, dinners or cocktail parties, whether buffet or sit down...

Memphis Style Barbecue is alive and well in St. Louis, Missouri. Just across the Missouri river, in Saint Charles County, there is an awesome little barbecue joint called Lil Mickey's Memphis Barbeque. In true classic barbecue fashion, Lil' Mickey's is off the beaten path, a little hard to find, a tiny little place, but boy oh boy is it truly wonderful. Lil Mickey's menu isn't fancy either. Basically, smoked meat, served either as a sandwich or as a dinner. The dinner is served with choice of two sides, baked beans, Cole slaw, or potato salad. The sides are tasty, but at Lil' Mickey's, it isn't about sides. It's about the meat, and their velvety red barbecue sauce. The meats are traditional Memphis...

If you are like me, saving money during this difficult economy has become more important than ever. Many of you, like me, have had to cut back on spending with regard to eating out. That's why I love Sweet Tomatoes coupons. I have used them to go to my favorite eatery with my family and save. Using Sweet Tomatoes coupons allows me to keep some more of my money in my own pockets. Although their prices are very competitive, who can't use a little extra change in their pocket? Depending on the coupons you find on the Internet, you can save all kinds of money on your meals. Just the other day I visited them along with my family after work. It's one of our favorite eateries and one of the only ones we...

Bukharah - a Glasgow restaurant you shouldn't miss out! Consider this. A nice evening opening with some great spanners (and a dead Piaggio scooter) placed in the lurid editor's back yard, which ends up on a restaurant lobby I worked in. Hi, this is Rachel Hamill at your service with a little picture of Bukhara, the exotic Indian eatery in Glasgow! When it comes to a Glasgow restaurant like Bukharah, there are some teensy weensy problems. But let's make a smooth start first. Before I personally looked into Bukharah, my pal suggested that Bukharah has a "thank-you, mate" curry, which might make me bump into the restaurant's owner - Archie Shariff. But "what on the earth is meant by bump into?" - I...

One of the pleasures of any vacation is trying out the cuisine of a particular locality. If Orlando is your vacation destination then you will have a wide choice of restaurants to choose from. It would never be possible to give a complete survey of the dining possibilities in Orlando or any city in only one article but here is a sampling of low budget and high budget restaurants that have proven popular with visitors to Orlando. Since I am writing this during a time of economic recession let me start with the low budget restaurants. These are places where you can get a good meal but not dent your wallet too much. Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Cue Ribs Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Cue Ribs are the main...

The Sonora Brewhouse is the epitome of a good, clean, moderate, Phoenician pub/restaurant. Which means that I was really hoping for more. I was hoping that this place would be a little lived in, a little less polished, a little less new Phoenix. It's kind of odd that big box chain food spots work at trying to get that aged look by throwing junk up on the walls and hanging it from the ceilings. Not at the Sonora Brewhouse, they'll have none of that here, but that's okay. Yes, they brew their own beers and yes it's good and more than decent. The food is better than average and always cooked. Even when you ask for your Kobe burger to be cooked medium with the hope that you'll see some red, it'll come...

As a product of the Central Valley, there's no surprise that I've eaten more Me-N-Ed's slices than I can count. In fact, it's one of the few things I missed about Fresno while I was living in the Bay Area. So, when I had the chance to chow down at the somewhat new Me-N-Ed's Victory Grill, my expectations were definitely high. So, did Victory Grill beat my expectations? You'll have to continue reading to find out. Located in Fresno's Granite Park Sports Complex near Ashlan and Cedar, Victory Grill is supposed to be central Fresno's version of World Sports Café or something close to that. From the outside, it looked pretty unimpressive. Sure, it's got a swanky-looking sign, but the exterior...

Sometimes even a self-proclaimed "veggie-nut" just wants a good old-fashioned burger. The best part about being in Orange County is that you can find places in every nook and cranny that make really good burgers-and they are NOT necessarily made of beef, unless you order them that way. Let's fact it burgers and their natural side-kick, fries, are as popular as America's favorite pastime of baseball. To cover that base (pun intended) there is Edison Field and the Angels. For the food part, here are some of the county's best burger joints, believe it or not, the first three are owned and operated chain locations! -Ruby's Diner. The only real sitdown restaurant mentioned. Light, bright and each...

They are hard to miss; from their architectural designs to the mouth watering spicy aroma that emanates from them. They are everywhere in the world because Indian cuisine is regarded highly the world over. For example, in Britain alone, there are over 8000 restaurants today that serve full Indian dishes, and employ more than 75000 people. People have suddenly realised that they can make a lot of money out of Indian food and they have opened up eating joints that are purely Indian in style in many places away from India. A true Indian restaurant will have few or no cutlery at all that is served with the food. Indian food is mostly eaten with bare hands and in a typical Indian dinner setting. People...

Though many in Austin consider themselves to be health conscious, there are still moments in each of their lives when a good hamburger sounds delicious. Austin is home to many burger joints, and some have been around for over half a century. Hut's Hamburgers has been around since 1939. Homer "Hut" Hutson opened his establishment originally on S. Congress Avenue. That same year, Sammie's Drive-In opened on W. 6th Street. In 1959, Hut moved his burger joint to the current location of GSD&M's Idea City on 6th, and a decade later bought the Sammie's Drive-In lease. Though the Drive-In was no longer there, the dining rooms they added on were, and it's from this location that Hut's still stands...

If the Three Tenors had collaborated on a restaurant instead of "Nessun Dorma," they might have founded the popular new Tapas in Barbados. Instead, three Italians well-known in the Barbados restaurant scene collaborated to make beautiful food together. Located on the new boardwalk on the south coast, Tapas occupies the two-level space Aqua once had. It's one of the most stunning sea-front locations on the island. Tapas offers an elegant, quite posh space and, on this island known for its pricey meals, reasonable prices. Four of us will order every tapas plate that strikes our fancy (and then hoard our favorites when the waiter brings them) and still have spent less than $100US for the table. Paired...

The Rainforest Café at Arizona Mills in Phoenix, Arizona offers more than a typical dining experience. Seating for this unique restaurant is located in a simulated rainforest, complete with leafy tree, vines, a beautiful waterfall and a variety of animatronic animals. Watch large, colorful fish swim around in huge fish tanks which are scattered throughout. About every 15 minutes a sudden thunderstorm rolls through the restaurant.

The history of Dairy Queen is an impressive and inspiring one. Beginning with the imagination of a father and son in Green River, Illinois, Dairy Queen exploded in popularity at a rate of growth unheard of either before or since. Indeed, it seems that America and the world were ready for the product that DQ brought to the public, and that people everywhere had been craving this type of treat for a long time. The signature treat of Dairy Queen is of course its soft serve frozen dairy treats. The original frozen treats were simple soft serve "ice cream" cones and were first sold during a trial run at a friend's ice cream shop in 1938. The price was 10 cents for "all you can eat", and the massive...

Going out tonight? It's always hard to go out with a date or just some friends and try to eat healthy. You're thinking, "I'm having fun with my friends so let me eat what I want to!", or something like that. You go to the restaurant and eat everything on the menu, go home, and now you feel like crap! Don't worry, I am coming to your rescue, here are my recommendations! 1. We all eat out every once in a while, and the name of the game is "PORTIONS".

Portioning your food, some for now and some for tomorrows lunch, will help you keep calories low and even save some money...

Note: menu offerings and prices may vary. The Yum Yum Tree is synonymous with great chicken salad in Jacksonville. This is no ordinary chicken salad, and the folks that own the restaurant know it. Only white breast meat is used, and the combination of spices and seasonings that make up the rest of the salad are a mystery even to the most loyal of patrons. I've long since given up trying to recreate it, and console myself by visiting as often as possible when I get a chance to go to Jacksonville. The Yum Yum Tree also serves their own version of tuna salad, which is quite good, as well as crepes and a variety of salad dishes. The Marco Polo crepes are filled with chicken breast, broccoli, and...

Pork, beef, dumplings, and home made desserts are key elements of a Czech style dinner. The meat is prepared in a variety of ways, from hearty stews and soups to baked or pan breaded. In several heritage communities across...

Restaurants reflect the cultural and traditional food of the society it belongs to. There are many good restaurants in every city and country of the world but there is not doubt in it that few of them are the simply the best because of providing high level cuisine along with neat and clean atmosphere with light background music. And when it comes to Canada, there are many famous restaurants in Quebec, Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. These are considered few of the exceptionally best in dining as compare to the restaurants of American cities of New York, Washington and other European cities. There are more than 4000 restaurants in the island of Montreal. Few of them have received great reviews and...

Dining at all the restaurants in New Hope, PA that served burgers took some time and deciding was quite the task, but when it came down to my all time favorite burger, the King of Burgers went to the Kobe Burger at Logan Inn in New Hope, PA. First let me describe the burger to you, it takes two hands to hold, it's dripping with natural juices, it's meaty and steaming hot. It's covered with delicious sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers with Boursin cheese on a soft, onion roll. This Kobe Burger will literally melt in your mouth. The taste is so flavorful. To further your taste bud experience munch on some tasty fried asparagus, which happens to be an aphrodisiac along with some steak fries. For...
