Anthony's Home Port. Crab legs. They're cheap here.  Alittle St.Michele Chardonay (None of that lousy Cali wine here, only the Best Washington state wine) ;)  Top off the night with a stop at Krispy Kreme donut shop. :) Total for two for the aforementioned (with Starbucks after the wine): $70

For less expensive meals, there is a family owned Mexican restaurant just down from our house, great Sonora-style Mexican food. Total for 4 with 2 beers $40

Buffalo Burgers!

I almost watermelon my pants when i was at the Con and went to the Big Buck's Brewery.  I was dang near 2000 miles form home....and i could still eat a buffalo burger! Hadnt seen any other place that had them on the trip down.  

It tasted a bit different because i imagine the bison wasnt free range fed, but still it was damn good.

My secong favorite is ham that i get from a local farming commune just outside the city i live in.  They have all sorts of stock and an apple orchard.  And they feed the pigs the over-ripe apples from the orchard....well you can only hope to imagine what the ham tastes like.

Hey Rip, I got a bottle of Ste. Michelle Chardonnay in my fridge right now as a matter of fact.  Of course I cook with it far more than I drink it.  I don't really care for whine, I mean care to drink wine, but I love to cook with it.  :)  Used some last night as a matter of fact.  Deglazed a pan with it, then added some garlic before throwing in a can of tomatoes.  made a great sauce to go over sauteed chicken and rice.  ;)

Favorite regional food?  you mean favorite food local to my area or favorite food that's local to an area not my own?

Local...  fresh yellow fin tuna steaks (grilled, blackened, or seared).  once a local restaurant had a daily special where they pan seared the tuna steak, then deglazed the pan with Captain Morgan's (or some other spiced rum) and then proceeded to make a pink peppercorn cream sauce.  Was absolutely fantastic.  I don't think that restaurant is open anymore though.  :(  The Fish House does a tuna steak with a wasabi cream sauce.  

Other regions...  hell, I like everything.  BBQ, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese...  :)

Nifty, is Della's Mexican Rest. still around in Pensacola? It was the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. It was there late 60's early 70's.

Nifty, don't EVER tell my wife you cook with St.Michele, she'll throw an empty bottle of California wine at you (one she just used for cooking with...) :)  Then she'll say this to you.
