Pizza a' Fetta
http://pizza-a-fetta.com/
231 N. Hemlock Cannon Beach Oregon, 97110(503) 436-0333
Excellent pies served here. You can buy the pizza by-the-slice during lunch hours, the pieces are huge and delicious. Definitely an 8 on the 'i hate myself after eating this' scale. Worth it.

Minneapolis, MN
The Duplex
http://duplexmpls.com/Page_1.html
2516 hennipen ave south
minneapolis, mn 55405
The Duplex is a converted house on a major street with excellent foot traffic and people watching. Sit on the porch if you can.....assuming its not 10 below zero. The beer selection here is top notch, the staff is friendly and usually has a two significant digit hottie coefficient(this means the ladies are good looking for any non-engineer readers). I suggest the Duplex Burger, they have excellent house made fries that come with it and they make their own ketchup. The burger itself is filling and comes with applewood smoked bacon. Its not so big that you leave feeling utterly ashamed of yourself.....maybe a 7 on the "Sweet Jesus I shouldn't have eaten all of that" scale.

Grand Rapids, MN
The Sawmill
2301 pokegama avenue
Grand Rapids, MN
The Sawmill looks pretty chincy from outside (it has a giant saw on the billboard), but don't let this fool you....excellent steak. The Black Angus ribeye is fantastic, if you follow it up with the home made strawberry shortcake you can't go wrong. The biscuits they give you prior to dinner are absolutely amazing.
Zorbaz
32946 Crystal Springs Rd
Grand Rapids, MN
If you see a Zorbaz just stop. The pizza is excellent and usually they are located on or across from a lake so the view is great. They give away a muscle car every year and the locals are always present.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
If for some reason you should find yourself in Cedar Rapids first you should ask yourself who you have recently pissed off, second you should visit 'The flying Wienie'.
The Flying Wienie
http://www.theflyingwienie.com/
103 8th Ave.SWCedar Rapids, IA 52404
The Flying Wienie is a definite hole in the wall dive joint, if you dig the aero scene this is the place for you....well if you also like downhome excellent food this may also be your place. If you go at lunch time expect a line out the front door, all of the locals hit this place early but its worth the wait. I had the double play which is two chicago style dogs with fries.....heart attack on a bun?....maybe, delicious.....definitely. The place has character, its a must hit next time I'm in town.
If the wife has you down I can also suggest (but of course have never been) the Lumber Yard II (where real men go to get wood). Its a.....shall we say all nude revenue and definitely worth a look. Will they give you a non-itemized receipt from American Express? I'm not sure, worth a shot though. Nothing says company man like a lapdance on the corporate card.

Lake Tahoe/Minden Nevada
The Old Post Office
-5245 N. Lake Blvd, Carnelian Bay, CA
- This place is on the north side of Lake Tahoe, maybe a half hour drive from Carson City, NV. The drive alone is one of the best things about this place, the road curves around the Lake Tahoe rim and the beauty is unrivaled.
- Go for breakfast, the chicks are cute and the coffee is good. Get the italian sausage links and anything on the menu. I have never had anything bad here and everytime I'm within an hour of Tahoe I stop by.
- The place is a local hangout for ski bums and the occasional richy rich who feels like slummin. It has great character and the food is top notch, drive out here and you will not be disappointed. Plus rich old ladies come in here every now and then ( I call them my 'retirement plan' ).
Russell's Bakery: Minden, NV
- No address for this place, its in the small strip mall across from Arby's near the Carson Vally Inn.
- Go for breakfast, come hungry or you're just wasting time. Get the sausage-egg-n-cheese breakfast sandwich on jalapeno bread.....just get one, its all you need. The sausage patty is the size of a burger and puts anything from McD's to shame. Seriously, come hungry.
- May want to schedule a post sandwich angioplasty.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
The Cattleman's Cafe/Steakhouse
- http://www.cattlemensrestaurant.com/
1309 S. Agnew, Oklahoma City, OK
- This is an old school steakhouse, don't bother with your suitcoat and slacks. Just throw on your fat pants and coat check your self respect at the door.
- I had the Cattleman's Strip, they don't give the size but I'm guessing at least 16 ounces and it was excellent. Bun's are served with the meal, these were really good as well.
- If you're really hungry get the onion rings and have a salad with their house dressing (its garlic/parmesean greatness) for an appetizer.
- Stone Mountain Cabernet goes well with the steak and won't knock the corporate card into a spending induced coma.
- For dessert I recommend the chocolate pie, it tastes like silk and is light as air. They gave us a free slice along with a couple pieces of chocolate cake and ice cream (its our dirty Irish good looks that made this happen eh dad? She was powerless in our prescense).
Final score: cholestoral = 289 self respect= zero
- well played Cattleman's Cafe.......well played.

Salt Lake City, UT
The Red Iguana
- Outwardly....I'm just going to say the place looks a little 'suspect' if you will. Its small, kind of loud and always packed.
- Be sure to go before 7 pm if you want to be seated in a timely fashion (less than ten minutes). In the winter you may have to stand outside if you don't go early enough because there's no bar and the waiting area is non existent.
- You're going to say I'm crazy but they have the best seafood platter I've ever had in my life. I lived in Houston for awhile and I'm going to say the Iguana was at least an arm's length ahead of anything I've had there.
- 736 West North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84116 check out www.rediguana.com
Wasatch Pizza
- Small homegrown pizza joint in the downtown area. Cool place, excellent pizza. They make some weird stuff if you like that kind of garbage on your pie (I'm a purist, thus the Widowmaker was a great option for me). Good beer selection here as well.
- If you're in the mood for pizza go here, locals come down and its a lot better than Papa John's or Pizza Hut.
- http://www.wasatchpizza.com, they have a couple locations in the Salt Lake area.
