  1. In Montecito, just outside Santa Barbara, the Montecito Inn is very nice and their restaurant ain't bad (need reservations). Across the street, the Wine Bistro is great for all kinds of snacks and wine. You're probably aware of Downeys, the Wine Cask, and La Super Rica in Santa Barbara.

  2. I stayed at the Biltmore once. Like most of those grand old hotels, the lobby was drop dead gorgeous, the grounds were breathtaking, and our room was well, tired in that 70-year-old bathroom kind of way. Best to go there for a drink or a cup of tea, not the night.

    Excellent cheese & fruit plate in the Biltmore Bar.

  3. Meet me at the the bar for a slug of Jack - I've got to go polish up my big silver belt buckle right now! :laugh:

    My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo

    My father says that he will leave me cryin'

    I would follow him right down the roughest road I know

    Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon

  4. I would think that the areas around military bases might be close. Some of the accounts of Germany and S. Korea fit in a general sense.

    Good point. Do you think that natives of foreign countries want to visit the areas around our bases the way we like to visit Little Tokyo, etc.?

  5. Isn't having Mc Donalds, KFC, Starbucks, etc in many countries outside the US essentially what you were thinking about?

    Or perhaps you're looking for some little Mom & Pop grocery and deli selling US stuff overseas?

    I was thinking about a cluster area where expats live and American food is available.

  6. What about Main street at Disneyland?

    Exactly, all I could think of was Disneyland (World?) and EuroDisney.

    Tokyo Disneyland has a main street too!

    Yes, I think they've all got Main Street USA. Somehow it seems a little different than going to a China Town, etc. Do they serve American food or native cuisine in Tokyo Disneyland?

  7. a tied up bag of ice to put in your pitcher if for some reason you are not drinking beer quickly enough.

    That would totally gross me out.

    I'm assuming the ice is in a plastic (or leakproof) bag so that it cools without watering down the cerveza.

  8. It's cool. And the topic is worth discussing. I think tommy's suggestion of starting another thread to do so is a good one. We're already pretty bogged down in the CF thing. FWIW, I agree that our eateries over serve us and that it's probably done to charge us more to improve their bottom line and mess with ours. Ciao.
