reviews exquisite food or movie cameos here are the top 10 most famous restaurants in america
part two two hot broads at a hot restaurant i love it cat's delicatessen
well i know how much you love your delicatessen if you're ever in new york you most likely won't find
a better deli than cats delicatessen sure the city is filled with tasty and quality delis but
none seem to stand out quite like this big apple icon opened in 1888 katz's deli has
been specializing in over stuffed pastrami and corned beef sandwiches and great customer service
for generations what makes this particular deli so special it's all about the meat it's cured for an
entire month which gives it its unique flavor and mouth-melting properties you won't be able to find
anywhere else nowhere nowhere however the juicy sandwiches and exclusivity aren't the only reasons
why the deli has garnered so much recognition it was also where one of the most famous movie scenes
of all time was shot indeed this is where the legendary all have what she's having seen in when
harry met sally was filmed in 1989. you can go sit at the same table meg ryan and billy crystal
were sitting to enjoy your reuben just be aware that the lines are known to be extremely long i
waited a long time i can't wait anymore nathan's famous i'm sort of famous for being almost famous
one of america's most famous restaurants i mean it has the word famous right there in the name
what are the odds nevertheless nathan's famous is an american treasure that's been around for more
than 100 years and the world of hot dogs would not be what it is today if it weren't for nathan's
the epic story began when polish immigrant nathan handworker opened a nickel hot dog stand on coney
island in 1916 with a 300 alone from his friends and his wife's secret spice recipe in hand and now
nathan's famous hot dogs are a household name sold in supermarkets and stores all around the globe
to infinity and beyond nathan's famous built its reputation on its all-beef franks with its
signature crunch and claims to have sold more than 700 million hot dogs since it first opened
aside from their great taste what truly helped the restaurant stand out was its annual hot dog
eating contest that's become an independence day tradition what first started as a publicity stunt
now draws in close to 40 000 people to the event plus countless tv and online viewers
every year in other words if you're looking for an authentic delicious hot dog nathan's famous
should be your number one stop we're number one we're number one heart attack grill
heart attack grill was first opened in 2006 by former weight loss specialist john basso who goes
by dr john chief surgeon he opened the restaurant as a way to shine a light on the reality of the
fitness industry the concept of the restaurant is pretty simple and up front serve the most
outrageously unhealthy menu in america wearing a hospital gown you can devour ridiculously
large grease bombs like the octuple bypass burger a 20 000 calorie burger of course fast
food restaurants never claimed to be healthy in any way but this just seems a little over the top
it's too much basso has always been extremely clear with his customers telling them that they
should not come to his restaurant because it is bad for you and will kill you and yet it doesn't
seem to stop people from eating there and it's not like it's all overblown hype either several
deaths have been directly associated with eating at heart attack grill with the owner going as far
as showing the cremated remains of someone who died at the restaurant on live television maybe
we should all take a hint and stay away from this fake hospital if we don't want to find
ourselves in a real one i fear she's on the wrong path pat's versus gino's we went to pat's steaks
i got you a half ask any philadelphian cheesesteaks are a big deal and the quest
to find the best one in town is far from easy thankfully the search can be narrowed down to
two very famous spots pat's king of stakes and geno's stakes the rivalry between the joints has
been ongoing ever since gino's opened up shop across the street from pat's claiming to be the
one who first put the cheese on a cheesesteak creating the sandwich we know and love today
the ongoing debate is not only about who the true inventor of the now staple food was but
also about who makes the best one let's go find out so how do you know which one is best
it all comes down to the way you like your meat at first glance both hoagies are pretty similar
they use the same bread onions and the same yellow cheesy sauce making them almost indistinguishable
but if you open them up you'll see that pats follows tradition by chopping it steak while
gino's mixes things up a bit and serves it sliced to be honest if you truly don't know which one
sounds better why not try them both besides it's not like you have to make travel plans
to get from one to the other you're going to be great at whatever you choose commander's palace
commander's really going to grip on things around here if you ever want to enjoy a quality meal
all the while being transported back in time the commander's palace is worth checking out
it was first opened in 1893 in the city's garden district and has since then become a new orleans
landmark the hard to miss massive building is the go-to destination for oat creole cuisine and
whimsical louisiana charm which offers a glimpse into the city's rich and fascinating past but its
convivial atmosphere isn't the only reason why the commander's palace is so great the award-winning
quality of its food also plays a rather important role in the distinguished reputation it has built
quality value convenience it has received countless awards over the years including
seven james beard foundation awards the top recognition in the culinary world and as if that
wasn't impressive enough many well-known culinary talents have passed through their doors top chefs
like emerald agassi paul prudom jamie shannon have all helped commander's palace to become the world
class restaurant it is today so to try one of the best seafood gumbos there is stop by the
eye-catching mansion-like iconic commander's palace oh i'll stop by another time big boy
all grown up this burger and fry place is one of the oldest fast food joints founded in glendale
california in the late 1930s in fact it's even older than mcdonald's so that should tell you
a lot about this chain's resilience founder bob wyan was voted least likely to succeed in high
school and yet he would go on to open a restaurant that practically changed the course of fast food
history how exactly well big boy is to thank for the invention of a little something called
the double cheeseburger yes the double decker hamburger was first thought of by
wyan in 1937 after a group of musicians came into the restaurant craving something different i want
something different something unique that's when he had the idea to slice his hamburger buns in
three instead of two and layered them with two beef patties cheese lettuce red relish sauce and
voila that's how the first double cheeseburger was born in 1965 big boy was already so famous the
beatles stopped by the burbank location while on tour in america to this day you can still find the
beatles booths which visitors come from all around the world just to sit in it's gonna be legendary

advertising for my growing business okay i'll do it cafe du monde never heard cafe du monde
another new orleans gold mine cafe du monde isn't a legendary eatery by mistake open 24 hours a day
seven days a week since 1862 except on christmas day people have not stopped showing up at the
fringe cafe since the civil war talk about a loyal clientele cafe du monde only makes two things
coffee and vignettes but as it turns out you don't need much more than that when you know what you're
doing the coffee is a dark roast blended with chicory which is the root of the endive plant
and helps soften its otherwise bitter coffee taste don't try to soften me up you can ask for it black
or olay which entitles having it mixed half and half with hot milk of course if you're not in
the mood for coffee you can always get white or chocolate milk and even fresh squeezed orange
juice but you would be missing out on a truly delectable beverage the real stars of the show
though are the beignets they are square french style donuts generously covered in powdered sugar
and they are divine if after your visit you still can't get enough of the coffee slash vignette
combination you can always buy coffee bags and a vignette mix to recreate the experience in
the comfort of your own home tastes even better saint elmo steakhouse welcome to the steakhouse of
