Good info! I'll keep that in mind, when we visit again.

Shrap's buying.

Call me and we will go, it is worth the trip...

Will do!

Here in Annapolis we have a rich selection of great bars and restaurants- something for everybody. There are literally hundreds of places within a five mile radius. I usually gravitate to one of the joints that has a raw bar, and sit and eat raw oysters and drink local brews. That or one of the couple of "authentic" Irish bars for Guinness and Shepherd's Pie. (The one two blocks from where I work is owned by a guy from Dublin who re-created it in the style of his favorite local back home- raw wood floors, scarred wooden bar top, and a menu to die for-- and best of all, not a TV screen in the place.)

The competition for our dining-out dollars is fierce. In order for a place to survive in this environment they must serve top-notch food and keep prices in line. We the dining public are the winners for that.

Thai, Mexican (not Tex-Mex), French, Italian restaurants all tempt me when I head out for my weekly foray.

Shrapnel, on another food post, you mentioned chicken fried steak.. One of my favorites, but hard to find a really good one.. We spend lots of time in Montana over the course of a year.. Any tips on where we can find a great chicken fried steak??? thanks.

eat at home alot........

you should try the aluminum warming tray liners from sams or costco under your chickens. cheap and real easy cleanup. no flaring is a plus too.

Following on what I've mentioned before about the quantity of great little Mom & Pop ethnic restaurants, I stopped into a small Israeli place I'd been meaning to try out on my way back from Bass Pro shooting the new G19 I bought recently.

This is a shawarma and salad. Roasted turkey shaved from a verticle rotisserie and reheated in a pan, served in a pita stuffed with whatever additions you want added in there. I had this one stuffed with hummus, pickled onions, pickled red cabbage, and their version of a hot chili paste. Really good and really filling.

The Israelis pickle all kinds of vegetables. They would probably pickle your azz, if you stood still long enough.

Price? Free. After I told the owner working the rotisserie it was my first time there. I got the feeling they don't see many big gentiles in the place. The little place was busy and I quickly found out why with the food. Everybody was friendly and they all seemed fascinated by the Harley shirt I had on from Cherokee, NC with a big painted Indian face on the back.

Il Posto Italian Ristorante in Hollywood for lunch yesterday. Spaghetti with mussels and calamari, crusty bread and garlic rolls with marinara for dipping, and salad (already gone in this pic). $11 + tip OTD and a cute and friendly Slovakian girl to bring it to me.
