Don Pablos?????
Let me know next time you are in DFW, I'll take you to some real Mexican places. Don pablos is decent Tex Mex, But there are better places out there. Esparza's in Grapevine, for example

Don Pablos was introduced to me by one of my Mexican friends. She and her husband go there several times a year. And yes, she calls it Tex-Mex. No one makes enchiladas or salsa like my friend Lolly. I am always open to finding new and better dining, so will let you know.

Believe it or not, the best meal I ever had was in the UK. The meal was at the Warren House in Northumberland. It far surpassed anything I ever had while in France. Below is a link to one of their menus.

Well now, I owe an apology to all here for misinformation. I was eating a tasty steak last night (medium rare, cracked pepper), mentioned our discussion of steak places and my endorsement of The Golden Ox, and received a look of such astonishment that I almost spilled my wine (but, of course, I didn't spill a drop).
The steak place that I was describing is not The Golden Ox (which does prepare an excellent steak), but The Black Angus located down in the stockyards (thus the interesting atmosphere). I had the right place but the wrong name.
Once again, my deapest apologies for my error.
Either one will beat any other steak place I've been to.

The Hereford House in KC is pretty good for steaks as well.

Not the boats where you are thinking of, it is the boathouse.

Yes there are several boats nearby if you are thinking what I am. There also used to be several Hereford House's in the KC area but they have closed a few of them. You thinking of a KC trip?

For wicked asparagus casserole, and to watch the Flyers on Easter Sunday, Ex Wife Numba 2's Nana Jean's house. She puts hardboiled eggs in there, with the asparagus, and it is freakin' amazing.
For Italian food, period, Desafiamos' Pop's house. His mom makes this lasagne that will rock your world. His sister makes the best tomato sauce in the universe.
For sandwiches, Cavazzinis in Wilmington, DE.
For burgers....this place....can't remember the name of it....across from the Wawa off Kirkwood Highway in Elsemere, DE. The guy who runs it, and it is a rugged looking place, used to be a catering chef. Every once in awhile he will get a wild hair and make Monster Burgers. I stole his idea, and make them now myself, albeit on a somewhat smaller scale. The dude has to use at least a pound of ground beef. Really good.
For seafood.....this place I cannot remember in Seaside, Oregon. I remember sitting outside on a deck, drinking massive amounts of beer, and pulling clams out of a bucket and dipping them in butter. Amazing. We drove UP THE BEACH at 100 mph to get to town, and that is no shit. This was back in 1985, so hopefully their local environmental consciousness has been raised. Beautiful beaches. Totally deserted.
For sushi, Fuji's at the Emporium in Bangkok. There are other Fuji restaurants at Seri Center, and Central BangNa, and other places I have not yet tried, but the one at the Emporium is markedly the best one, so far. They make this one avocado thing that looks like a big green worm. The fish is SO fresh.
For prime rib, no doubt about it, Walters on Union Street in Wilmington, DE. The cut they gave me was monstrous, it was pink, it was beautifully marbled, and it was so juicy and soft that you could cut it with your fork. No need for a knife. Des and I ate there one time. I took my son a few times. I also went by myself when I was swinging solo.
For pizza.....believe it or not, I like Pizza Hut. There are a million places that make bitchin' pie in Philly.....and the debate over the "best place" can be cause for throwing punches around there....but I just LOVE a nice, hot Pepperoni Lover's pizza, deep dish, with extra fucking cheese. Now THIS will blow you away: you can GET IT HERE IN BANGKOK. They will deliver to your HOUSE! You have to get lucky, and hope that they have an English speaker to take your order.....if not, it is a pizza roulette. No way to predict what kind of assed up pizza they will bring. It could have FISH or chicken on it....even fucking HOT DOGs.
Al just turned me on to this other pizza joint here.....you literally just call 1112 on your cell phone, and an English speaking Thai chick will take your order. The pizza is ok. Not as good as Pizza Hut. But you have the security of knowing that you will not get Vienna Sausages and fucking tomatos on your pizza when you open your door.
For Tex-Mex.....my grandma Lola's house in Segundo, Colorado. She used to make tortillas fresh from scratch in the morning for my great-grandfather, Richard, and she would make real thin eggs like you would use for an omelet, except she would pour green chili onto it, layer it on the fresh tortilla, and then put a little layer of mayonnaise on it. He and I would put them in aluminum foil, then go fishing. When we got to the water and opened them up, they would still be warm.
Best shit in the world, and made with love.
Rest in Peace.
