restaurants
This is a blatant and ugly manifestation of my type-A tendencies. To the best of my memory, this is a personal log of the more than insignificant dining experiences of my life. All of the places I have traveled to are listed.
CLICK on the names of the restaurant for the restaurant’s website.
CLICK on the parenthetical years for the photos and/or blog review if I’ve written one up.

Great blog! Gorgeous, gorgeous photos. I also love that you’ve included Hot Doug’s to the Illinois list. True foodie….
In case you aren’t aware (doubtful, but just in case), Arun’s is quite tasty and thoughtfully presented, as is Cafe Lula. Both are off the beaten path.
Happy eating!

museincongnito: Thank you for your kind words. I have not yet tried Arun’s, although I have heard praise thrown its way. I will have to look into Cafe Lula.

I note a distinct absence of Australia so far. It sounds as though you would love Tetsuya’s in particular.

mistertim: Thanks for dropping by! Alas, Australia remains the last continent for me. I need to make it there. And, yes, Tesuya’s would be one of the first places I’d want to visit. I have his cookbook, but not his skills or resources.

A most impressive list! Excellent blog! However, being a bit of a Maine-iac (I know, I know, terrible pun) I couldn’t help but notice that Maine somehow failed to make the list of US states…

awb – Thank you for your kind words and for stopping in at the ulterior epicure. I’m a Maine-iac too, but, unfortunately, your home state remains one of a handful of U.S. States that I have yet to eat. Are you still in beautiful Hanover, or is that part of your life over now?
ulterior epicure said this on February 1, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Yay for lovely, pretentious old Hanover! Yes and no–I am currently a Dartmouth student, but I am studying in Lyon this semester, which leads me to another question: Paul Bocuse, Pont de Collonges–is it worth it? I noticed it on the list, but no remarks. I am currently eating little other than (delicious) bread in an attempt to save up enough of what little money I have for a special pilgrimage to Bocuse’s flagship, but I have been considering other places as well…l’Auberge de l’Ile, Nicolas le Bec, Orsi, Christian Tetedoie…unfortunately trying to hit them all up would break the bank, but any insight you might have would be greatly appreciated!
awb said this on February 2, 2009 at 8:17 am
awb – Most excellent. Lyon is pretty, no? I’m still in the process of writing my reviews. First, take a read here if you haven’ already. Then flip through the photos here. In the meantime, I’ll email you with some further thoughts.

I hope you visit our cellar in La Rioj (Spain). We love food and we make one of the best wines in Spain (OGGA Reserva).
Congratulations for your web and restaurant!!! Awesome

How about a trip to Madison, Wisconsin? I know you are from the Midwest.
