Last place you ate at

@honeycomb nope.

Phnom Penh
Take out butter beef, deep fried garlic MSG coated chicken wings and beef luc lac.

 

The Starlight Casino in Queensborough...

$12 "Weekend Brunch"... Was pretty good... Didn't take advantage of the Omelete bar...

Note: Discount for those with a players card. 5, 10, or even 15% OFF food...

 

Makes me thirsty just reading it.

 

Hy's last night. The best steak joint in town IMHO.

 

How does it compare with Gotham Steakhouse?

 

Hy's has the same steak as Gothams for 30% less. You can also get $100 gift cards for Hy's at Costco for $80.

 

That is what I was going to say, Hy's is 30% cheaper and I find certain items better there than at Gotham, the tartar being one of them. Gotham used to have a happy hour where they gave you a free, small steak sandwich if you were drinking in the lounge. They were really good but the drinks were expensive and you didn't get a free sandwich until the second or third drink (3 x $9).

 

Smokehouse Sandwich Co. in Richmond
Had the Samson and the Billy. Both sandwiches were good but the Samson was top notch. A bit on the pricier side and weird location but the food is quality. The honey lemon ginger drink was average and a bit too sweet though.

 

The Samson sandwich looks really good.

 

Hoang Yen Vietnamese Cuisine on Victoria Drive
They're known for their Bun Cha Ca and Bun Rieu (#24 and #25 on the menu). I had the #23 which is essentially #24 but with squid cakes instead of fish cakes.
