It was delicious! There was rumor of Cafe' Havana reopening but I'm not holding my breath. Instead I think we should buy one of those massive paella pans and recreate our London experience. Also Wade, did you happen to notice how many bars you have on your list? wadE and I discussed the Paella in London while he was making his list. It was delicious!

(yeah, they changed their name to "the burger place." they're doing it wrong.) easily the best burger i've ever had. 9. bottle of budweiser, bubba's bar, owatonna, mn. i can't stand bud. however, there's something about the way they serve it at bubba's that makes it spectacular. 8. tator tots, grumpy's bar, washington ave in minneapolis. just any other tator tot, only more so. i should ask rainer what they use to make their tots taste so good. strike that, maybe i'm better off not knowing. 7. squash soup, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sandcastle-bvi.com/soggydollarbar/" rel="nofollow">soggy dollar bar</a>, jost van dyke, bvi. we went there for our honeymoon. all the food was great, but the squash soup sticks out as being the most memorable. 6. my mom's chili. great stuff, and i've never been able to duplicate it. it's not christmas without it. 5. sara's london broil and twice-baked potatoes. i usually demand this on my birthday, among other special occasions. 4. mojo rolls, <a target="_blank" href="http://zahtarbyfhima.com/" rel="nofollow">martini blu</a>, downtown minneapolis. (yeah, they changed their name to "zahtar by fhima." they're doing it wrong.) heavenly, even if i don't know how exactly to pronounce "mojo." 3. chicken santa fe salad, d'brians, dowtown minneapolis. i have an unhealthy relationship with this salad. 2. chicken fried rice, wong's, rochester, mn. i like fried rice, but have never found a place that made it as good as wong's did. unfortunately, they're now closed. 1. paella, leicester square market, london. i've had paella before and after, and nothing compares to it. 10. cheeseburger at l. phillips, soo line building, downtown minneapolis.

Mind you, I'm quite certain I ate my lifetime quota's worth at your place growing up... I can still visualize the taste, and it's been 15 years. I guess I just assumed they'd be around forever.
