Die, die, must try! -- Eating outside Singapore

jjpb3, how about the place where it says the best roast duck in London? Also the bagel shop?

Roast Duck? That would be the Four Seasons restaurant.

EDIT EDIT

CGK, it's there...just read jhm post #2.

I think CGK was too hungry to notice.

Also the bagel shop?

The bagel (or "beigel", to be precise ) shop is good by London standards, but I'm too conditioned by Noo Yawk, so it doesn't make my recommended list. The main thing that recommends it is that it's a ritual for LON SIN Do's, thanks to the beautiful cawhite.

Just remember that I have not been to Four Season yet. Last time in London with DFP, we went to the one down the road you took Guttorm and me before.

Martin Berasategui (tried once) and Arzak (4-5 times) are two of my favourite restaurants anywhere but I think they're somewhat distant from Barcelona!

elBulli Restorante (Roses - 177km northeast of Barcelona)

Mediterranean
El Racó de Can Fabes (Sant Celoni - 45 minutes by train north of Barcelona)

Los Angeles
Roscoe's House of Waffles and Chicken (various locations)
LG's Steakhouse (Palm Desert)
Zankou Chicken (Hollywood)
California Pizza Kitchen (Beverly Hills)
In-N-Out - the original location (Baldwin Park) **ask for the 6x6 burger - 6 beef patties and 6 slices of cheese. YUM.**
Matsuhisa (Beverly Hills)

Try the In-N-Out near LAX, munch on a burger and see planes landing on 25L.

Tried that and I snapped pictures on six airplanes (but my sister erased the pictures )

Chicago
Lawry's (Rush at Ontario) - already mentioned, but it's so awesome that it's worth mentioning again ...

Definitely for prime rib in Chicago, IMO...Lawry's it is. A few others here will probably agree with me on that... For steak? It's Gibsons (I used to favour the Rush St location over Rosemont, but now that I've gotten to know a few people at the Rosemont location, I like them equally )
