Rep Power: 2 | I would have to say Emeril's in NOLA, it keeps me going I want to return and eat there again. Local can't say any knock off my socks, some are good but can't say I would recommend any of them. You would think for a town of about 4 million, and known for its eating out the most, there would be some real big name chefs here, but I know of none. I guess if we are talking the whole city, would have to be best service Vic's and Anthony's, best food Pappadoughs Seafood, best steaks Salt Grass, best entertaining Rainforest Cafe, most to do, Aquarium Downtown. But getting to these now with the traffic, the construction, the price of gas, would rather stay at home and cook my own meal.

Rep Power: 1 | This is a hard one...I like Snug Harbor in Grand Haven, Michigan. Right on the channel going into Lake Michigan so I can watch the boats and I love their portabello mushroom wrap or chicken burrito. Yum.

Rep Power: 10 | We have a restaurant called Hayden's Lakeside Grill. I really enjoy eating by the lake and watching the geese and ducks. All the tables have umbrellas and the tables are rod iron. Just so relaxing and the food is excellent.

Rep Power: 10 | I guess since mostly we only have chains here I am going to have to say the Olive Garden. Although there is a nice Mexican restaurant that just went in out near the dog track.
