Anyone had a good meal at a restaurant lately?

Ordered Ox tail last night at a Cuban restaurant. Very farging delicious.

Ate at Smash Burger for the first time last week in Denver.  Maybe it was because I was starving but I thought it was really good.  Had the Colorado Burger (how original) - Grilled green chilies, cheddar, pepper jack, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a spicy chipotle bun.  Smash fries were also very good.

Went to 5 Guys my last night there.  OK, nothing great.

I HATE Five-Guys. There's nothing memorable about that burger.

I had Smash Burger while on Long Island over the holidays...I too thought it was pretty damn good for what was more or less fast food.

5 Guys blows, IMO.

I liked 5 Guys when it first opened but they raised the prices but about 30% after it was opened a while and the quality took a nose dive.

It's still better than all the other fast food craphole out there.

I have a SmashBurger around the corner from me. Ate there a few times, and it's not bad...but I never find myself running back to it. A little too juicy/greasy for me. There are so many places like that now and they're all practically next to one another. Within a mile, there's the SmashBurger, Five Guys, Bucu Burger, Pop's Burger, Zoom Burger, Johnny Rocket's, Steak and Shake, Bobby's Burger Palace, and other non-chain burger places. They're just everywhere.

In-N-Out for the win (in the non-gourmet burger category). Have they made it out east yet?

[Zanshin]

Not in my burger-saturated area, which makes me believe they have not.

Ha - the only two that are in my area are Five Guys and Steak and Shake.  I do think there is a Johnny Rockets in the next town over.  We also have a Red Robin.

Went to an Indian wedding last night. Their menu is vegan (although the food was bangin) so we went out for food before it started. Wound up at Big Fish grille in Glen Mills. I had the swordfish with pecan crust, potatoes Neva and spinach. I've had worse meals.

I'm shteintin up a storm this morning from the curry

[Rome]

Never been a fan of Indian food.  Probably the meat and potatoes Irish upbringing.  Spicy food in general doesn't agree with me, though, so I tend to avoid it.

That swordfish sounds excellent, though. 

[ice grillin you]

[Tomahawk]
