PatMarshall posted:Hello thread, where can I find the best BBQ in the Raleigh-Durham area? Any favorite bars? Thanks! If I'm not mistaken, when I was in the area a few years ago, I was taken to Backyard BBQ Pit, and it was very, very good. As for bars, I can tell you of a couple in Durham: The Green Room was nice and low-key, and has free shuffleboard, while Bull City Burger and Brewery is good for burgers and local craft beers.

Postmaster GBS posted:I'm gong to be in Toronto for the weekend. Anything in particular that I should scope? Caplansky's Deli at 356 College St was nice. Hungary Thai was great, but it long since closed, I hear.

Nephzinho posted:Any good recommendations for Paris? First of all, there's the old fashioned just walk around in the morning and choose random patisseries and boulangeries to get your breakfast from, same for lunch/dinner and restauranrs, near Châtelet especially. If you're looking for something perhaps a bit over-the-top nerdy, there's The Bar at the End of the World.

Nephzinho posted:That is the plan for breakfast and some lunches, but for this vacation we literally just have a spreadsheet of lunch and dinner picks. My fiance's family vacation itineraries are literally just a collection of menus and we plan what to do based on what is near/between the food and we currently have 3 open dinners in Paris to finish the trip "planning". I would suggest going to Le dernier bar for dinner. It's got silly things on the menu like a 42" sandwich and such. And the ambiance is really over-the-top.

mojo1701a posted:Thanks! I'm starting to think I might be there for at least a week (was thinking about visiting another city or two, but might just stay there for 1 1/2 weeks and do 3-4 days in Strasbourg since someone recommended Alsace to me) since there seem to be some organized day tours to Normandy and other memorial sites. In the meantime, I really want to see as much variety (local and otherwise) as I can. (I even told a friend of mine I'd check out a McDonald's just to see if they do actually call it a Royale with cheese). Strasbourg is nice, be sure to hang round the old city and visit the canals for some cute wildlife. Also they might be having one of their night-time light shows at the big cathedral, check it out if you can.

got off on a technicality posted:Also does anyone have recommendations for Paris? Looking for anything at all that's less obvious (i.e. not necessarily Michelin) / touristy My go-to is Le dernier bar avant la fin du monde, it's a fun sci-fi-themed bar/restaurant. I guess you could call it touristy.

Going to be in downtown LA, near Skid Row, in a few weeks, for about 24 hours. Looking for brunch/lunch, light early dinner, and nightcap places.

Doom Rooster posted:Headed to both LA and then Vancouver for a week each next month and would love some recommendations. I'm into pretty much everything at all price ranges. I love unmarked taco places in dying strip malls, or hip new Michelin bait. Coming from Austin, so the hardest things for me to get where I live are probably great seafood and ramen, so recs for those would be extra appreciated. I was in Downtown LA a few months ago, and they have this big indoor emporium called the Grand Central Market with many options. I really enjoyed the Thai place, I think it was called Sticky Rice.
