Up the hill from me in Auburn, Ca. in the gold country is a micro brewery called the Auburn Alehouse. It's in the same building John travolta hung out in in "Phenomenon". His Garage was built out front.
I go there and have their "pastrami cured salmon Rueben sandwhich" and a couple IPA beers. This sandwhich with about almost an inch of transparently thin sliced cured salmon with sourkraut and horseradish on rye bread is so good I can't stand it. With each bite I experience the texture of the bread and soukraut, then the soft, succelent cured salmon. I take a bite and just sit back on my barstool and look at it piled there on my plate, my tastebuds begging for more. I found recipes for pastrami cured salmon and will try to reproduce it. What's your favorite thing to eat when you go out? For me a distant second is Veal Oscar at a different place.

Whenever someone else is buying, I'm not argumentative or finicky.
I learned a long time ago, it's best to only eat out only when someone else pays for it. ;)

(Or when the wife wants to...)
 
The Alehouse's PU 240 is delicious. I recommend that.
What is PU 240? BTW, folks. This place has a a great informal atmosphere. My wife and I aren't the white tablecloth types and this brewery with giant beer vats overlooking the room is perfect. It used to be The Shanghai Chinese Restaurant connected with the fantastic old Shangai Bar, may it rest in peace.
 
We live on venison for red meat and love it to death....however when we go out to eat it's always seafood...don't care for beef.
Wyatt...that sandwitch sounds better than sex!

It has to be fried seafood, because eventhough not particularly difficult to do at home, it is pretty messy with too much clean up time and lingering aroma afterwards.

Now if I'm steaming oysters, making deviled crabs or jambalaya or something, no prob. But to get a bunch of different varieties, get them all prepped and cooked within a reasonable timeframe of each other is just too big of a deal!
 
Right now I am on a fried shrimp po' boy kick. Dressed with mayo, ketchup and tabasco sauce and a side of steak fries. If I'm really hungry I have a cup of Crawfish bisque for my "salad".

Prior to that it was fried softshell crabs.

Don't have a chance to dine out much, but if I did I think I would be heading for Indian restaurants these days. I go through phases, and I'm in a kind of eat-stuff-that-makes-your-eyes-bulge-and-your-scalp-sweat mood, so a good chicken vindaloo would be just the ticket.

I'm making do with the frozen chicken tikka masala entrees from Trader Joe's, but that's a pale imitation.
 
Wednesday's at the Beau Rivage Casino for the afternoon buffet. All you can eat for $13.00 for the wife and I including desert. They will have a big roast beef, baked turkey and baked ham. All kinds of potatoes baked, mashed and sweet with marshmallows, lots of hot vegetables. Huge salad bar with lots of fresh fruit. Always some baked Salmon. Fresh shrimp all you can eat with cocktail sauce. Deserts are just to many to mention but I am partial to pecan pie and banana foster. Cookies and ice cream lots of coffee and the waitress just keeps filling your soft drink glass.

Just remembered all of the bread and hot rolls and cornbread, pizza baked in a stone oven heated with a wood fire.

The plates are as big as a serving platter with nice big cushion backed chairs to enjoy your meal. Nice silverware and two forks and lots of napkins

Hell, Take a look for yourself. The food line goes even further around to the left.

my all time favorite thing to eat when i eat out is the Sonice Drive-In bacon cheeseburger toaster sandwich with tater tots and a cherry limeade to wash it down. p.s. i occasionally add an order of onion rings to my meal when im extra hungry

triple baconator meal

po6fc2n74s1ehm8.jpg


3 meat patties, 3 slices of cheese, and 9 slices of bacon goodness.
1,360 calories, 40 grams of saturated fat - and that's just the sandwich!

The new sea salt fries make it that much better :)
 
Food

Current favorite would be Eggplant Parmesan, accompanied by angel hair pasta garnished with nice marinara, with crisp salad. Local purveyor is Olive Garden, believe it or not, in Sarasota, which has superb cooks and ditto service.

Call me Surprised, but Happy!

Bar-b-que this time of year as it had been too cold to cook any myself. I really like seafood and always enjoy going near the ocean so that I can get fresh.
