Anyhoos, it's prolly too late to slow this beast down, but here are the other food threads it should have been posted on (IMHO).
We had a pot luck breakfast today at work for someones last day. Everything from pastry, pancakes,and bacon, to Huevos Rancheros. So Yummy! Oishii :mrgreen:

The Cheesecake Factory in SF, overlooking Union Square, is fun... but I didn't think they took reservations except for large parties.
They have a HUGE menu. Their food is fine, nothing extraordinary, except for the cheesecake... so save room for dessert! :)

Eh? No love for the Jambalaya? Pork chops? :(
I've been to New Orleans and had a lot of jambalaya... so have high expecatations. Plus, I make my own home-made jambalaya.
If you're up in the SF Bay, hit NOLA in Palo Alto:
http://www.nolas.com/ NOLA's jambalaya is BETTER than the jambalaya in New Orleans! :woot: Plus it's a FUN joint.
As to the Cheesecake Factory, I like their food and I've never had a bad meal there. :applaud: Garlic mashed potatoes and a good pork chops, I'll take second and thirds! :bow: Just stating that while I like their food, their entrees are nice, but not extraordinary; it's their dessert that sets them apart... and their HUGE menu, which is cool. Good ambience too, except for the noise.
Damn, it's only 10:41, this thread is making me hungry! :banghead:

We had a place down here called Orleans that was really good, but they shut their doors... Sad.

Yeah, it's a bit raucus inside, but no more than a Chinese restaurant. :rolleyes:
One thing I didn't understand in New Orleans... I had jambalaya from at least six different places and none of them were that good... it's as if the restaurants don't take jambalaya seriously. :headscratch: Akin to the way Chinese restaurants don't really take chow mein seriously I guess. But I had lots of other outstanding cajun and creole dishes in the French Quarter.
Not to mention getting hammered every night! :drink:
Perhaps the best pork chops and garlic mashed potatoes I've had recently were in Placerville at Cafe Luna. It's a nice place, overlooking the river on old historic Main Street. Went there in February on a fluke, on the way home from a snowboarding trip to Sierra-at-Tahoe. Wow, talk about serendipity. :woot:

Had dinner with some friends a while back and the pork chops and garlic spuds at Lucille's wasn't too bad... It's sorta hard to find a decent non-chain restaurant nowadays... :sweat:
Cheesecake? My house. Once I could no longer go to Junior's I spent years trying to recreate Junior's Cheesecake.
Poisoned half my friends and family in the process.
Then two years ago Junior's puts out a cook book with the reciepe in it. GA!!!
Fav "cuisine"? Italian.
I absolutely love McDonald's, Taco Bell, Togo's, Nation's, etc. (BK's is too sweet)--- but never twice in a row. If yesterday's lunch came from McD's, today's has to come from somewhere else. (That's my version of being sensible and balanced.)
