RESTAURANT WISH LIST

Ok I admit it, I'm bored. Like really, truly bored. Yes, I have some work I could potentially be doing. (don't we all?) But I don't feel like it. So there. Anyhoo, Tom asked me why I don't blog anymore, which just isn't true. I just haven't blogged as frequently nor written an actual review in a while. But he suggested that I come up with a Restaurant Wish List. And I thought that was a pretty good idea. I'll be revising this frequently, but hopefully I'll be able to actually go to a few of these restaurants this year. You'll notice that many of them have been around for a while, but that's the thing, I haven't actually gone to any of these landmark restaurants. Something I'll definitely have to do before I move from this coast. One day. And so, in no particular order...
