thefridayfive :
1. What's your favorite restaurant in your city? Well, it's not in my city, per se, since my city is fairly small, but it's in my region. Hands down, has to be Peter Luger's, a traditional German steakhouse that serves the most delicious porterhouse steak imaginable.
2. What do you like to order there? And yet, when I go there, I often order the lobster. Because their lobster is MAGNIFICENT, too.
3. What's your favorite appetizer, at any restaurant? At any restaurant? That's kind of a silly question, because I'd never think of ordering fried calamari at an Indian restaurant or pot stickers at a burger joint. So I'm going to answer for Peter Luger's, and say that without a doubt, it's the bacon. A single slice of quarter-inch thick house smoked bacon that's flash cooked under a 1200-degree broiler. It would make a vegetarian weep and ask for seconds.
4. What's a restaurant dish you've tried to make at home? A pasta dish who's name I can't remember, but it has sausage, sautéed onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, in a red sauce and topped with chunks of fresh buffalo mozzarella. Usually with a hearty pasta, like rigatoni or orrichetti or best of all, raddiatori.
5. What would make you refuse to go back to a restaurant? Bad service, hands down. And of course, bad food, overpriced food, bugs in the salad, but most often, bad service.
