Why have I never noticed this thread before, I love food! As a previous poster mentioned, I can cook almost anything better than what can be had at a restaurant. However, I still eat out often because the wife hates doing dishes, and I enjoy the experience.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to master Chinese food, and frequent Spice China in Louisville. Best Chinese food I've ever eaten, and I've tried most items on their menu. Their service, cleanliness, and fresh food rival the big chains (ie P.F. Chang's), however the prices are better. Lunch is the best value as with most Chinese restaurants.

I noticed several posters mention Pho, I don't eat Pho (I'll eat it, but soup is not necessarily my idea of a meal), however many of my colleagues do and frequent Saigon Pho & Grill on 72nd/Federal. They have good noodle bowls which I will eat such as the pork or combination.

Cheers and happy eating,
Tim
