I like that place.  Ironically, I like their beer battered cod :tu:

Bâton Rouge in downtown Toronto. I've only been there a couple of times but it has the best ribs I've ever tasted.

Honestly chaps, you won't regret it - they are a bargain. Over on EDCF folks talked a very similar pair available over there that were at least twice the price.

They are one of my favourite EDC trinkets.... you know you want them...  :pok:

lets see... the Basque Sidreria's (cider house) here in North Spain have great food and drink... it's an experience worth having at least a few times, more if possible! I can definitely recommend Chuleton (a large steak) it's my new fav steak...

I love going from bar to bar for Pinchos (small finger food, kinda like sample sized) in San Sebastian really, there are tons of things to try, and it's really a wide variety of both hot and cold delicacies to tantalize your palate.

here's one such bar (there are piles of different ones!)
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Today's Dirty Dozen Thread Necro is not tool related, but a part of MTO history, and where the Mint Chocolate Chip running joke started.

Nikko, aka Leatherman123 is no longer a member here, so I debated on whether to bring this back up, but since it is still used today I figured it was worth it.

For those not familiar, LM123 was a 14 year old kid pretending to be a 28 year old police officer so that people would take him seriously- which of course no one did.  He started a lot of threads that were along the lines of "what is your favorite ________?"  One of the more common ones was about ice cream, and he always said that mint chocolate chip was his favorite.  Hawkchucker, who passed away about 4 years ago would always ride LM123 by responding with mint chocolate chip to many of his threads.

Another LM123 classic that still exists on the forum is the comment about something falling off the side of the boat.  He had claimed to have many knives and tools but could not photograph them because his camera fell off the side of the boat when he was fishing.  Then the tools and knives started falling off the side of the boat.  Soon anything that anyone doubted the existence of was referred to as having fallen off the side of the boat.   :D

Wherever Nikko is these days, I hope he is doing well.  Yeah, he was a bit annoying, but which of us weren't at that age?  If any of you insist that you weren't a pain in the butt in your teens, then don't worry, I won't shatter your delusions!  :D

Regardless, Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite.

And I was an absolute angel at the age of 14.....except that time I pushed my friend off the side of the sailboat. But that's another story for another time.....

I do quite like Raymond Blanc, but he does come out with some right twaddle - "I like to wander among the dewy orchards [nude] first thing in the morning; it often inspires the day’s menu".

My favourite is a family run pub near me called The Bird in the Barley.   It's has a small bar and the rest of it is a restaurant. Really great food.

Always great to find a pub with good food :tu:

If we are being serious here, I'll pick Smitty's Meat Market in Lockhart, Texas, USA.

Might not be the best barbecue ever, but the atmosphere is irreplaceable. And the BBQ is damn good, grease running down your arms good.  :drool:

I won't say it was my favorite resturant. But it was probably the best one I've ever been at. Sadly, its been a long time, and I know it's closed so the name has fallen out of my brain.

They would do a fish fry with catch of the day, oysters and/or scallops, clams and shrimp (and you if you told them  you couldn't do shrimp, you got more clams), and french fries that were very crispy on the outside but soft inside. It came in about a quart and a ahlf bucket, less than half fries, with a quartered lemon, and it was cheap.

The Weatherspoons pub in town.  OK, not a restaurant but they do a tasty bean burger, chips and a pint of John Smith's all in for a fiver.  Unless I go in on curry night then its the Red pepper, spinach and chick pea curry, rice and naan (good size portions) plus pint of the same, again for a fiver.
