In all seriousness I have no idea how anyone can answer this question. Unless you're thinking about food all of the time who even remembers the details of a meal? I mean, even fat people eat so much that it has to all run together, right? Worst thread ever.

Some of the best food I have had has been made by friends, family or myself. Of course I have had some fantastic meals at restaurants, but who really remembers all that. I would say recently a trip to Burlington Vermont, every place we ate had consistently good food. Most of it was local, fresh and you could tell the food was made with pride.

Best Mexican food:
Miguel's (http://www.brigantine.com/locations_migpl.html)
Point Loma, San Diego. The link takes you to Brigantine which is one of their restaurants and is located in Old Town, San Diego. Their Mexican food is hands down the best I ever ate.
I ate at a couple of spots in Mexico that were very good but I don't remember their name. Best Mexican food I got from a dingy place was in Rosarito across from Papa's and Beer. 10 years ago you could get 3 shrimp/carne asada/chicken soft tacos with all the fixins, chips and salsa, and a beer of your choice for $5.

Best Italian food was my deceased Grandmothers. Her Italian food is legendary and to this day I doubt I'll ever eat anything close to what she used to make.

Same here.  I don't even know the last time I've been to an Italian restaurant (other than pizza joints) because I know it's just not going to hold a candle to Nana's cooking.  If I eat Italian, it's either something I make at home or someone else in my family makes it.

seriously though, if you're ever in Aruba....this is a great restaurant. This and Mirandi. Don't buy into the hype restaurants you'll hear about if you choose to vacation there. They all sucked ass. Also, don't stay in a high rise...experience the actual island and stay at a low rise hotel. We like the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort. Beaches aren't packed crowded and its so much better.
Title: Re: PG's Travel Diary
Post by: charlie on February 22, 2011, 02:04:19 PM
If you want Aruba without the hectic tourism, go to Curacao.

Aruba is awesome though. Best island in the caribbean.

Rack up your Marriott points and stay at the Marriott Stellaris Hotel/Casino (the downbeach property, not the downtown property, downtown aruba sucks ass).

Flying Fishbone is one of the best places on the island.

Gotta agree with IGY on this one.  So many people don't know what good food is its ridiculous.

One of the best things I ever ate was a the 5 cheese macaroni at Z Tejas Grill on 6th street in Austin.  It had a bacon in it and was topped with char grilled chicken.  The only bad thing about it is that you are burping it up the rest of the night.  I believe there are a couple of them throughout the southwest. 

Bush's Chicken in Texas is unreal, side of gravy and hot sauce=sex in mouth.
