San Francisco, California

One of the best chineses restaurants in SF is called San Tung on 1310 Irving Street. They make handmade noodles, homemade dumplings, and their dry fried chicken is to die for, reasonably price and prepared to wait in line.

I enjoyed The Slanted Door tremendously, but it's a bit pricey.

On the cheaper-end I liked one of the Vietnamese Pho restaurants in Chinatown, can't remember the name though...

Next time I'm there I'll try San Tung , Thanks for the tip!

I enjoyed

The Slanted Door is great! One of my favourite restaurants in San Francisco along with Aqua, Farallon and Coi. My wife and I are both fans of the House of Nanking for casual Chinese when in the Bay Area. Trucker's cafes might put the decor to shame but the food is very good. I think for a relatively small city like San Francisco it has some incredible restaurants.

Some of my favourites: -Gordon Ramsay at Royal Hospital Road, London -The River Cafe, Brooklyn, NY -Per Se, Manhattan -Verre at Hilton Dubai Creek, Dubai -Molecular Bar at Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo -Aria, Sydney, Australia -Rasoi Vineet Bhatia, London I'm hungry!

Houston, TX... two different locations... one on Richmond by the galleria; the other somewhere on bellaire.

Name? Chinese Cafe!!!

What to get? Double spicy chicken, Double spicy beef, or mix it up and get both. Beef with chinese broccolli is very good most of the time... but a lot more mild than the rest. Feel free to tell them "less" or "no spicy" if you don't like spicy foods. Stuff is amazing...

San Francisco, California

Here in Central New York, we have many owner operated restaurants, where the owner is the Head Chef, and a graduate of a good culinary institute. You can choose from French cuisine, Italian, Greek, Indian, Polish, Irish, German, seafood, and good old American steak houses. They are so good that a number of franchise restaurants closed up because they could not compete with "the locals". A good example of this was the Weathervane Restaurant, which had a super location near the NY State Thruway exit at Utica , and had fresh seafood from Kittery, Maine, and not frozen. The manager told me that he had to show a profit after one year. When the store failed to meet that goal, it was shut down by headquarters, and the building was purchased by a local group that then served an Italian-American menu. It has been very successful since. Meantime, the Weathervane has been successful in Saratoga Springs and East Greenbush (near Albany, NY).

Hey, weird... I've eaten at San Tung as well and it was great. Wish I was eating there tonight. Better idea... send your G5 Citation down to Texas and pick me up, and if you do, I'll pay for dinner.

In Houston, I always like Hunan's on Post Oak.

But let's get serious.... Mexican food in San Antonio is pretty darn good, too. Tomatillo's and El Mirador are hard to beat. (Hmmmm...making a sound like Homer Simpson just thinking about Tomatillo's green sauce.)

    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.  
    • I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
    • A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too. 
    • I replaced a 3 driving iron as it was called. If I hit it clean it went close to 180 like the hybrid does but it was very inconsistent. I had to aim left because it would fade and I could never hit it dead nuts straight. We have a lot of wind being by the ocean so a left to right wind was suicidal with that club for me. I don't have a lot of Shot Scope data so far that would show yardage as far as dispersion or proximity to hole goes, but so far everything is staying relatively tight. I am not spraying the ball, I feel like it goes where I aim, any thing off is user error and not the club. 
    • Ok, great. Best of luck to you in the future. I gave you the answer for significantly less than $20k though, just sayin.
