Anyway, tonight we had curried chicken and rice with plantains from a Jamaican place nearby. Pretty damned good. Washed it down with some small batch bourbon and finally finished up West World.

I think my city is fairly empty of great cuisine. Food outside of the European/American cuisines is what I think of as the American-family style restaurant category (bland and not in anyway similar to it's nominal relation). There is one decent Indian place and a few hit-or-miss Thai places, but that's about it.
For my family, the best restaurant in town is a breakfast/lunch place that cycles most of their menu every week and brings in a lot of interesting ingredients (insects, frogs, etc). They do a prix fixe dinner (some kind of theme) once a month and a happy-hour (bar-food origins) once a month. They also have a food cart that parks at one of the breweries in town and does tacos and burgers. We go every week to see what they have cycled in and it is the place we take people who are visiting us.
There are a couple of really solid fine-dining restaurants, but that is difficult to get to with the mini-human.

Last weekend I hit a place in Ridgefield CT called HooDoo Brown BBQ, another top New England spot.

The two URLs linked are for an excellent BBQ review site for New England/NYC that is run by a friend of mine if you need info for the area.
And to the those that say "cuisine X can't be good outside its place of origin" STFU.

The meat with mushroom sauce is not. It's actually western influenced. But rendang is Indonesian traditional food, although it's not usually served on a rice with a bowl and egg...

Granted, I make it with fake meat, but the spirit is the same. And the sauce...as long as it is not that thin, vinegar-based sauce. Or that abomination that is mayonnaise based sauce.

When properly done, BBQ needs no sauce.

Lately though I've become re-addicted to 'Indian Tacos'... which sounds like a horribly racist name but that's what it's called on the reservation where I first learned about it. All it is is a big fat piece of bannock, shaped like a small plate and about an inch to an inch and a half thick and then cover it in regular taco toppings. Meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers... whatever you like. I suppose you could put anything on it but I haven't changed up the recipe at all. It's goddamn perfect as it is. My wife has some kind of vegetarian version that tastes great too... but I like my meat.
