Fingers and Claws Resataurant - Gaithersburg:

Who says I can't get some free advertising :D

Seriously though, being in the business, a place I like to take my family for special events and such:

Amichi's (Little Italy-Baltimore) - They have one of the most original and good tasting appetizers I've had. Used to be a favorite when I was in school, now I can actually afford to order a soda with dinner, and not just water :D

If I am ever in Gaithersburg I will look your
place up.;)

Is the Palace that Korean place with the
fancy doors right across the street from
that little mall and next to the car
dealerships on Ritchie Highway? About
1 mile away from the Glen Burnie Mall?

Chesapeake Chicken's not bad if you're hungry and want to get some take out for when you get home. Don't like to eat there.

Favorites?

Chipotle (Mexican) chain.

Killarney House (Irish, great food and beer) Davidsonville, MD

The Narrows (Pricey date restaurant) Kent Narrows, MD

Adam's Ribs (BBQ, decent ribs, awesome chicken) Numerous locations

Cafe Mezzanotte (Italian) Severna Park, MD

My house (Ribs, crabs, fish, Cajun food, you name it...) Hard to get reservations though. :p

It must be the place I am thinking about.
Crain Hwy is the main road where all
the car dealership are on right?

Do you ever go to Lotte Plaza in
Ellicott City?

[Talapia]

I'll just show up and say I know the owner :D

Okim, I think Summit Station is closed, at least that was what was on the grapevine. It's something else right now, don't know what, but that area has gone to chit.

Talapia, if you like Korean, check out Woo Mi Garden (sp) off Georgia Avenue in Wheaton. Good "Galbi" and "Nangmyun" combo, a little pricey, but sometimes you just gotta have it.

The entire Silver Spring/Rockville area
is a treasure trove of good eating.
Just a lil bit far for my casual dinning
though.

I have to agree with BB on the Chipotle's. Definitely the best mexican place I have been too. It is cafeteria style but it rocks.

Oriental Manor, Pho Dat Than, I can't add much more to what has been listed above except the following:

1) Bay Country Chicken (formerly English's Chicken) Just order the chicken NOTHING else. The chicken is kettle fried with Old Bay seasoning ... definitely a must try for great fried chicken. Just off of 13 N (Salisbury Bypass in Salisbury next to the mall)

2) Penang (Bethesda) I have not eaten at this location but have been to one in NJ. It is a mix of Asian pacific cuisine. First time I had fish head soup was there. I think my wife (soon to be at that time) was testing my intestinal fortitude.

3) My house. Great filipino cuisine adorned with her additions from the US. Basically whatever she cooks ROCKS!

Do you ever go to Lotte Plaza in
Ellicott City?

I'm not too familiar with Glen Burnie. A friend of mine recommended them when I went there. I believe Crain Hwy is Rt3 and Ritchie(Rt2) is one block over. Price is usual Korean Restaurant level and the flavor is good. But the service may be a bit slow/dim at times.

Lotte Plaza, HMart on RT40 and BeSeTo (same plaza as HMart) are the three places are I go for some quick, cheap Korean food. I just don't like parking in the Lotte shopping center. Too many old Korean people not paying attention and dinging my car. :mad:

Silver Dragon has Jja Jang Myun for ~$6. It's ok. Just go a couple of miles west on Rt40, just after the Home Depot.

[okimavich]

Pho Dat Than is decent and it's actually Viet owned. The spring rolls there are a bit bland. I prefer to make my own :p

I went to the Woo Lee Oak Resteraunt
in Arlington and they have a new one
off rt 7 in Tysons. Food was good but
man was it expensive.

talapia, if you want to load up on korean barbecue and sushi, make a trip over to Annandale, VA and go to Il Mee. Its all you can eat short ribs, ribeye(bulgogi), pork, chiken, sushi. Overall, their food is average to good but its cheap compared other alternatives.

If you like that, then you'll love Baja Fresh and CA Tortilla. About same price, one just owned by different corp. ;)

I've been there a few times. They're pretty good. Just don't eat there go out afterward, because you'll be smelling Korean BBQ the whole nite long. I still love NTKG's mom bulgogi though. Lettuce, rice, scallions soaked in sesame seed oil, and a sliced of bulgogi. umm mmm good. She prolly put some crack in them things, I can't seem to stop myself from eating 'em. :D

I used to think so too. Even Chevy's Fresh Mex used to be on my list ... then I did a direct compare between Chipotle, Chevy's and Baja Fresh using their carnitas (pork) dish. Chipotle beat them all hands down. (Had to settle an argument over the best Mex recently. One comparison taste and the argument was won.) Mmm... research. *burp*

Consider that a challenge. :p


...and no, I'm not asian. ;)

That's one of my dad's favorite places. He would try really hard to have dinner there whenever he landed in Reagan National. :) I never saw the bills, so I couldn't complain ;)

But you is mexican !!! :D :D :D

JK ... man Chipotles has made a believer out of me. If I am not mistaken all of there meat and vegetables are organic and fresh. And unless you like to eat habs whole they spice the meat just right !

No matter how good it is!:D

Me and the wife went...we had marinated
beef and short ribs. Bill was around
$90:eek: :eek: I about passed out!

Never again. It was good but not
THAT good.;) Could have got the
same meal for $14 at one of my
regular dives.

I haven't tried the Carnitas, but I thought the steak ultimo was better from Baja. Maybe they have the free extra salsa and chips.:D :D

[Talapia]

I can't eat any type of burrito or wrap anymore.
I ate a microwave burrito about 10 years
ago and it got me really sick. Just the
sight and or smell of anything like a
burritto makes me queasy.

[BubbaBlue]

I don't do the burritto anymore either. Chipotle will serve it to you in a bowl. You get more that way too. :p

Try the carnitas with one scoop of green and one of red... or two red if you like it toasty. I like the green too cuz its got tomatillos in it.

Ah geez... all this food talk... guess I know where I'll be stopping on the way home. :rolleyes: :D
.

[terpfan]

i rarely go out to eat anymore. i hire my mom to bring me food for $400 a week, since she retire recently. home cooking is the best. there was time in my life, when i went to restaurant for 2 meals a day.(korean) after awhile, everything starts to taste the same. with all the msg they use, it is not good for you. :) seriously, if you go to any korean restaurant for every meal for awhile, everything on the menu will start to taste the same.

[terpfan]

also there is no such thing as chinese carryout that does not use msg. :)

[okimavich]

MSG = mah-she-suh goodness. :D :--|

How is it that MSG seems everywhere now? It's in the friggin Mr. Peanut!

[terpfan]

it's difficult to completely avoid it, however amount of msg that restaurants use is unacceptable.

ive never got anything but the ham meals and the ceaser salad at chespeake chicken, i always used to go there when i worked at pintail, but it is a little pricey if u get a big meal

my favorite restraunt in south carolina has to be prossers BBQ, hit it every time i fish down there on saturdays, heck ill even go out of my way to go there for lunch

[drhnter]

I see you guys talking about the Korean restaurant in Glen Burnie, it has a great all you can eat buffet, also if you are in that area there is a good little Thai food restaurant and a good Vietnamese restaurant across Crain highway behind the Food Lion grocery store..:beer: :beer:

[Dr. Bubba]

I tried eating joints once but I found that I got higher when I smoked em. :p

Hippie:p

[terpfan]

this is little off the subject, but how about instead of salting your bait, use msg instead. i wonder if fish will like it???:D

[surfsidesativa]

Is 5 guys a hamburger place? If so we have
those up here in MD/Va also.


yep, same place. i spelled it wrong the first time but this (http://www.boinabraza.com/)is my favorite...

[bmcox86]

five guys is awesome also
gotta love moes too

[okimavich]

If the fish don't, I'm sure some Asian restaurant would be glad to cook it up for you. :D

[big brother]

gonna start some thread drift.
Tastee Diner on Haywood Rd in west asheville,
meat and two veggies $3.95 last time i was in.
Open from 5 am till 2 pm.

[Talapia]

Dude, are you kidding me right now? I specifically ask to have MSG :D If you ain't thirsty after the meal, then it means you didn't get enough MSG in it. Something about asian food and no MSG doesn't sit right with me. It really does make the food taste better. My dad always jokes around and says if you add MSG to water, you got soup.

BTW, we don't use MSG at Fingers and Claws, seriously. I had to look at every F'in label on every single case of food, condiment, spice, etc. b/c a customer called and said he was coming in and if there was any MSG in the food, he would die :eek: I chit you not, it took almost all afternoon, and when he did come in, he didn't thank me for checking. I should have just sent him to the chinese place next door. :D

MSG...mmm mmmm good. I eat what taste
good to me. Life is too short to worry about
all the food that can kill ya.;)

I have started going to Bull on the Beach
at OC for BBQ sandwiches...they are
outstanding!
