If you like british pubs, try the Rose and Crown on State College Blvd. between Ball and Lincoln. The prime rib was better than decent and the bangers and chips were very good also. (Although after a few pints of Guiness, it's hard to remember what *anything* tastes like! ;-) If you like "gourmet" hamburgers, there is a Flakey Jake's on Katella just west of I-5 that has good "build your own" burgers, chicken sandwiches and such. Kinda commercial, but better than Fuddruckers, IMHO. (There used to be a cajun restuarant across the street named Johnny Reb's that had great Louisiana red-hots but I've heard a rumor that it's closed now. ) Over in Garden Grove (on Harbor and Chapman I think) is Belisle's, an older family owned place that is *always* packed. Bring a BIG appetite because they don't believe in skimping on the portions. If they have strawberry pie, try and leave room for a slice. If you feel adventurous, there are a ton of Vietnamese and Korean places on Garden Grove Blvd. between Harbor and Beach. There is nothing like authentic Korean Kim Chee, IMHO. For italian food, try Salvatore's on Brookhurst. It's a good family owned italian place with excellent pasta and especially good Veal dishes. This ought to keep you busy for a while, but if there is something specific you would like to find, drop me some e-mail and I'll try and help. Jim

Anaheim area dining?
BR> I'll be in Anaheim next week for a conference and would like some BR> recommendations for decent (even good!) places to eat in the area You might try the Rose and Crown on the corner of Lincoln and Anaheim. About three miles from the Convention Center. Great atmosphere and great food. And not too expensive. Heywood ___ * OFFLINE 1.56
There is an Indian restaurant called Tandoor Restaurant on Katella, about two miles east of the Anaheim Convention Center. The food is rich with flavor and the cost for their nightly buffet is about $12.00.

We just happened upon the place and it looked decent so we went in. When this thread started it made me think of Belisles again, but I didn't post anything because I couldn't remember where it was or even its exact name. Chuck Weinstock

Once. Allow me to assure you that large portions are not the only attraction there. Large, porcine people are, their huge gullets swaying rhythmically as they down the Food before their faces... It reminds one of a gas pump operating in reverse. There is an awfulness (in both the current and original senses of the word) to the place, a sense of suspended horror and gasping wonder at the notion that *at one time*, some of these people must have been ambulatory. Truly, the mind boggles. As one Civil War correspondant wrote under very different conditions, "Can these be men?"
