With the exception of Emerils and Delmonicos in New orleans, each celeb place I have ever been too, has been average or below average?

Now I see the HOB in chicago has a new menu designed by "Aaron Sanchez", big freaking wow! I just figure that means I am paying $3 more for a "Aaron" Quesa-DILLA, than the old one they had one menu!

I loved Emeril's NOLA.
Last time I was in Vegas I tried Ramsay's Burgr. The in-n-out was 5 times better and 10 times cheaper.

I thought I saw him walkin' up to The Hill
With Elon, Tulsi, and Don

That was a good place. Do they still have the second one at 159th and LaGrange?

There should be a Johnny Garlic's in every city.

I haven't been to many...Everybody I know loves flays restaurants. I'd like to try a batali restaurant but reviews are mixed. I've heard good stuff about topolobampo and frontera and I think the commercial products are good.

Ive had good meals at McDonalds and Wendy's.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I wish the best restaurants would move away from being steak places.

F'ing McDonalds just jacked up the price of a McDouble to 1.19 from .99 cents.

isn't the girl and goat one of these kinds of places? a friend of mine was in town a while back and went there and said it was outstanding.

Went there to celebrate our 1st anniversary. Loved it. The whole experience was outstanding. Ate escargot ravioli, beef tongue, pig face, and of course goat in addition to more normal things. I'm not one to eat such eclectic food, but when in Rome. Highly recommend it.

yeah, i went there for my birthday a few years ago and it is great, i'd love to go back
had to make reservations like 2 months in advance

my friend told me if you get there right when they open you can get a seat at the bar and still have a meal...you'd just have to put up with eating at the bar.

I had a surprisingly good meal at Graham Elliott's. GF wanted to go since seeing him on Master Chef.

Went there a few years ago with my wife (I think I posted a review on this board) and found it to be really good and worth the money. Bonus is that you don't have to dress up -- jeans are promoted as the proper attire.

Aren't most of these "celeb" places just owned by corporate conglomerates, and they are just slapping the name of the chef on the front door?

The whole concept of a chef being a celeb is ridiculous. It's spawned a generation of douches in the same vein as reality TV

"celebrity" chefs aren't really anything new, it's just gotten out of hand like most everything else

I used to love Yan Can Cook.
