My wife and I love to go to a pub, and enjoy a nice cold brew and a sandwich. We don't have any good pubs down in LA (we are moving back north very soon. Since home for us is in Oregon, I consider that "local".
Any McMenamins (house special steak sandwich, and a hammerhead)

When I get a taste for seafood, my favorite thing to do is go to the Nestucca river on the Oregon coast, rent a cheap boat with some crab pots, crab for a while, and have steamed crab right there at the dock. Fun time (though hopefully soon, I won't be renting the boat or pots anymore).
