I recommended this want to Nick before, but the SKP Boomers that have attended the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta the last couple of years LOVED Lin’s Chinese Grand Buffet. It is located in the Pagoda-style building on Coors Blvd. NW near the Cottonwood Mall. This buffet includes very tasty buffet items (many with a New Mexican twist like shrimp with jalapeño), a sushi station, Mongolian BBQ, and an all-you-can eat rib eye steak buffet. Apparently this is part of a small chain that began in Texas (hmmmm, that was a surprise but the owner is from southern China and opened her first US restaurant in Texas) and she plans to expand nationwide. Prices are around $7 for lunch and $10 for dinner and they do have a Senior discount.

If on the West Coast and looking for seafood, try Georgie’s Beachside Grill on SW Elizabeth Street overlooking the Pacific in Newport, Oregon. The restaurant has a creative menu and the clam chowder was outstanding. (IMHO, Georgie’s chowder beats the popular “Mo’s” chowder known all along the Oregon coast.) Go for lunch and try to get one of the many window tables to enjoy the ocean view great for whale watching.

If anyone is in the New Jersey area, off the Jersey Tpke. just before you’d get off to go to Staten island, is a deli called Harold’s. Their portions are so big that each item is recommended for 2 diners. And there are enough leftovers to feed you for even more meals once you get back home. Oh, and there is this great “pickles bar.”

I’m from Chicago and could tell you about a lot of places to get great food, but you have to deal with the city. Oh well, so if you ever get to Enterprise, Ala “Big Daddy’s ” is the place for great barbecue. Here just outside of Daleville, is Pit Stop Barbecue, it is fantastic.

Gulf Shores, Ala had a little seafood place “Sea and Suds”, and on Friday all you can eat Mullet. To die for. Even if you are full they bring more and then a to go container so you won’t leave empty handed.

I only mention this, a chain but a small chain. ” 5 Guys” the absolute best hamburger’s and fresh fries.

Oh how I love food. Now I am hungry.

Oh yea, on your way to the Key’s Tavarise spelled wrong Island has a seafood resturant that is great. May not look good on the outside but more than makes up for it on the inside.

Anyone in the Utica NY area will want to check out two restaurants: Symeon’s which specializes in Greek fare, and the Casa Too Mucha, which is the local version of a tex-mex restaurant. Both have ample portions for a fair price. Symeons would be more rv-friendly, you’ll want the toad if you’re visiting the Casa.

Syracuse has several options, but perhaps the best known is the Dinosaur BBQ, which is definitely another toad stop, as they have next to zero parking on site, though there is ample area parking nearby.
