Haiku Friday: Favorite Restaurants


So, my birthday surprise was a visit from IPLawGuy, and tomorrow we will head down to the Wisconsin Dells to do some skiing. On the way, we will stop in Tomah, Wisconsin to dine at Mr. Ed's TeePee Supper Club, pictured above. It's kind of a snowmobiler's paradise. Plus, they have food.

So, what's your favorite restaurant? Tell me about it in haiku! Here, I will go first:

IPLawGuy eats
Fried stuff and garbage and beef
He'll love Mr. Ed's!

Now it is your turn... just make it good and fun and 5/7/5, and no one gets hurt.

Comments:
Vitek's barbeque,
I'll get a gutpack to go,
Unbelievable.
 
My fav as a child
The Lido on Lake St. Clair
Best onion rings - yum

down in Florida
my favs are tied to those I
meet to share my meal

Living in Durham
cornucopia of food
locovore haven

But best restaurant
in the comfort of our home
at our own table
 
I can't think of anything, so I'm going to let my cat Donny handle it this week.

I like chicken and
I like liver, Meow Mix Meow
Mix please deliver.

He says "close enough."
 
Donny the Cat: Is that even a restaurant, really?
 
Best Philly cheesesteaks?
D'alessandro's! South Philly
Is for the tourists

American's fine
Provolone is good as well
But no Cheez Whiz, please
 
Steaks that melt in your
mouth like butter. Family
sides. Vegas. The Palm.

The Angry Dog. The
best burger in Dallas. And
cheese fries. Delicious.

Schmaltz's. Ninfa's. El
Conquistador. Dubl-R.
Baris. In Waco.

But, older I get,
I would take mom's home cooking
over anything.
 
The Pig and Fiddle
More than thirty beers on tap;
Rabbit stew is scrump!

Va Benne Cafe
Puttanesca is the best!
Dessert: gelato.

Dakota Jazz Club
Surly tap; Fries with bearnaise.
Music is great too.
 
Pierce's Pitt Barbeque
Truckers pull off on shoulder,
Jump fence to get food
 
Naples influenced
St. Paul original – Punch
Knock-me-out Pizza!

Near Mont St. Michele
Wife of 3-Star Chef
Translated menu.

One item puzzled –
“A symphony of worm brains.”
The amuse bouche?

Gulp! We had consumed.
"Madame, s'il vous plais,
Le menu Francais!"

Laughing nearby guests'
Hilarious solution –
“Medley of warm brains.”

Note: I say I am a haiku purist because I resist multi-stanzas of haiku, but perhaps I'm just lazy? This true story could not be told in 17 syllables. Much left out even with four times that many. At one point I said to the chef's wife, in all seriousness, "I didn't know worms had brains." My husband, his parents, who were with us, and I laughed for two days over this. By the way, the food was divine.


 
Rebecca -
I'm not sure if I am happy I missed out on a visit to Mont St. Michele or sad that I didn't have the opportunity to try such a strangely intriguing meal.
 
Highland's Bar and Grill,
sweet home Alabama, try
friture de la mer.


 
Frescoes,I believe
We're in Tuscany tonight,
Pink roses,she lifts her veil.


Flickering candles,I order
Scallopine,the lemon
Scent arrives.Mangia.

Perhaps we will walk
Through the villa's gardens after.
A nightingale sings.

Her name? Arezzo,
Violins you from moment one.
Stop! Pasta and kisses.

 
Pierre,he eez gon...
Gon' like scallops in Coquilles St.Jacques bless me for I 'ave sin!

I 'ave eaten all
Of your deen-aire and mine too...
Je regret.Keez me!

Our toes meet under
Ze checkaired tablecloth...Merde!
Serviette...meesink!

You are not the only one who knows a foreign language,Mustang Sally!
 
Oh,give me a break
Geoffrey! Your French is for the
Feelthy pigeons! Go!





By the way,I remember the stink you raised in Pierre's Bistro (which is no more,probably because of the little incident you recall. When the police arrived to arrest you for taking a swing at Pierre for running out of napkins,they discovered mold on the Mousse au Chocolat. I blame you personally)over that missing napkin. You always lost your napkin at dinner,because it slid off of those sleasy sharkskin slacks you used to wear. Hit the road,Jack,er Geoffrey!
