I've lived in/traveled to so many places it's difficult to say which was the
"best" restaurant. Trattoria Tiramisu in Bettendorf, Iowa had fantastic
food. The service left a little to be desired. It's a little hole in the
wall situtated next to a coin-operated laundry

The Rock Bottom Brewery in downtown Minneapolis was fun. The waiter sat
down with us and told us all his troubles... that was a little
disconcerting. But they have fantastic Asiago cheese dip, yummy! He got
the recipe for us. (I've posted it in the past.)

Lucky's Cafe in Addison (a suburb of Dallas), Texas. Great breakfast!
Country fried steak with cream gravy, 2 eggs, biscuits and fried potatoes.
Wow!

I haven't been to California since I was seven so I can't speak to west
coast eateries.
