Anything from Stogel
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

First you need to define "Great Restaurants"   ;)

But I can't wait to see the turns this thread is going to take although it will probably ultimately end up in some debate about the kashrus of <insert restaurant>
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Or maybe you just don't dress well on Shabbos.  :P

The irony is, I don't even have a very advanced food palate, but I don't take kosher restaurants seriously besides for maybe 5 in the USA, a bunch in Israel etc.. But I gotta tell you, dining without wine is a gross injustice

You have made it perfectly clear your focus is on wine.

Odd, opens for me, trying again. I view wine essential to any dinner. I don't like foie gras, it took me time to appreciate pate, cavier and nuanced stuff, but I certainly don't view fine dining as steaks

Thats silly. Besides for the fact that every trip to israel Amichai lourie slaughters a lamb and does nikkur too, this trip he slaughtered goats too. Israel has phenomenal restaurants

Also Israeli restaurants allow non mevushal. This is Asado Egel at Haknanit
