Steakhouse · Charlotte, United States
“The draw is comfort and continuity: martinis, steaks, a room with history and service that makes the ritual feel personal.”
Fried chicken · Dallas–Fort Worth, United States
“Go to the original Roanoke dining room, order the fried chicken and let the family-style sides do their work.”
Thai · Los Angeles, United States
“Go for bright, spicy Thai food and natural wine. Fried chicken, crab fried rice and string beans make a convincing first order.”
Pizza · Los Angeles, United States
“Start with pizza, but treat it like a full dinner: a salad, a blistered crust and a table worth lingering over.”
Italian steakhouse · Los Angeles, United States
“Bring people who like sharing. Build the table around one serious piece of meat, then add the focaccia and whatever vegetables look best.”
Israeli grill · Philadelphia, United States
“Build the meal around the hummus and salatim, then add the grill. It is the kind of table that rewards ordering widely and sharing everything.”
Steakhouse · Tampa, United States
“Come for a full-scale steakhouse evening, but pay as much attention to the wine program as the steak. This is not a quick dinner.”

Restaurant · Sifnos
“You're in Greece. It's lunch. You're at a taverna by the water. You like white wine. Here's what you do. It's always served cold, usually in a nice little jug or metal carafe with nice small cups, not a fancy wine glass. And it always hits. Greece has been making wine for four thousand years. Every taverna pours something local, by the carafe — sometimes a glass jug, sometimes a battered metal pitcher. None of it is precious. All of it works. Trust the process.Tip within a tip: Pantelis on Patmos. A taverna since 1950, on the harbour. Sit outside, order the Symi shrimp, ask for the house white. Life is good.”
