Thanks for all the great suggestions. I'm sure it will take me awhile to work my way through all of them, but it's a job I'm looking forward to!
I have tried some of your suggestions already - Lonnie's, Vietnam Kitchen, Qdoba, Café Lou Lou, Hero's, Karem's, Gumbo a Go-Go/J. Gumbo's, and Yang Kee Noodle have all been crossed off the list. I thought most of them were pretty good, but none were among my favorites... maybe I just didn't order the right things? Well, all except for Qdoba - they're one step above Moe's in my opinion, but not as good as Bazo's or Chipotlé (btw, anyone know why we don't have a Chipotlé around here? I think they would do pretty well). Yang Kee Noodle was okay - definitely better than Iching, but not terribly exciting. Vietnam Kitchen was a little better than Annie's Café - I should check them out again and try some different items next time (their menu was a bit overwhelming with so many choices). I liked Hero's but I've got a sister in the Bronx so I keep comparing them to places in New York, and they seem to fall a little short... but they're still the best New York-style pizza I've come across out here.
Still haven't found a really great burger or a favorite Thai spot (I'm exceptionally picky about the Thai since I lived in Bangkok for a bit). And I'm still trying to track down the mysterious taco vendor on Preston Hwy.
Again, thanks for all your suggestions.
Sanjay
