Given that the horizon line is slightly crooked I would say that is a real photo. Maybe the colors have been saturated but otherwise not much has been detectably done to this picture.

Um, other than that... an Indian restaurant called Ghandi's in New York. The place was not that fancy, but the food was amazing. Great, intense flavors.

The Paris Buffet in Vegas was definitely the best breakfast I've had out.

A tiny restaurant here called the 29th Street Cafe. Had lemon pesto chicken there once and it was fantastic. And the plate presentation was so nice I didn't want to eat it. Unfortunately it must have been a fluke, because I've gone back 3 times and everything else I've had there (including the same dish again) has sucked. I mean, really bad. Meh.

A beachside seafood restaurant in Redondo I can't remember the name of for the life of me :/. Best red snapper I've ever had, though.

And a mediterranean (?) food place GarboSpeaks! took me to when I was visiting, called Tarboosh in Redwood City. If I lived there, I think I'd go every day.

Chorizo!

Mexican dives are the best. If you go to a foofy restaurant for Mexican food it never tastes authentic. It's like Taco Bell dressed up in a pretty napkin and a $40 bill. The best Mexican food restaurants are always those tiny hole in the wall places where you get a plate big enough to go swimming in for 8 bucks!

yes it does. I enjoyed it, but I've never had food as perfectly prepared as I did at his other place...it needed nothing, it was perfect.
by the way, I can't believe I forgot the name of the restaurant...Spago

This may sound corny but actually the best dinner I had was the first time I ate the Crispy Orange Chicket Skillet at Applebees

Now it is called the Orange Crispy Chicken Bowl. It tasted much better when they brought it on the sizzling skillet plate so I always ask them to put mine on a plate

I am not much for adventurous food and my hubby was shocked I even tried this

The flavors are just yummy and I am sure it has tons of calories too

Honestly, the best dinner I've ever eaten out was at Joe's in Chicago. It was succulent! OMG - I've still never had such a good steak. It was also the most expensive dinner I've ever had.
Then, there was this seafood place in San Francisco we went to on Pier 39. Don't remember the name of it, but it was really good. They had great Lemondrop Martini's, also. It was here I tried calamari for the first time and fell in love with it. mmm-mmm-good!
