So, there's an Indian place in Los Angeles, called Jaipur, that makes the best fish vindalu I've ever had. It's magnificently spicy, and unbelievably fresh. Goes perfectly with a sweet rice pilau with nuts and raisins, maybe some garlic naan. They also make the best gulab jamun I've ever had, for dessert.
There's a Mexican place in Old Town San Diego-- can't remember what it's called-- that makes enchiladas and Baja fish tacos to die for. Margaritas were pretty good, too.
I found this one hole in the wall in Chinatown in NYC-- don't remember what it's called, probably couldn't find my way back if you paid me-- but they made dim sum that was just out of this world.
Probably the best breakfasts I ever had were at the Cash Store in Davenport, California, just outside of Santa Cruz. Incredible pancakes and waffles, amazing omelets and scrambles.
Lou Malnati's Pizza in Chicago makes deep dish like I never had anywhere else. Total pizzagasm.
Again, I don't remember the name of the place, but I found this little curry shop in the East End of London that made sweet and hot curries like nobody's business. Gorgeous.
There's a little place in Jerusalem, right off of Kikar Tzion (Zion Circle, downtown), that makes excellent Ethiopian food. Their injra is the best I've ever had-- really biting!
And while we're at it, there's a cafe at the corner of Rav Berlin Street and Gaza Way in Jerusalem that makes the best humus in Jerusalem, and makes deep-fried kubeh (bulgar dumplings stuffed with meat) that are just outrageous.

Best creme brulee I've ever had? Hands down, it was on the QE2, two summers ago, sailing from London to New York. The food on that ship was phenomenal.
