Ok, I’ll play (and catch-up at that):
Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, UK - when we were stationed at RAF Upper Heyford back in the ‘90’s, we’d drive down to a restaurant in Aylesbury once a month for “American Night” - all the prices listed on the menu stayed the same, except they were, for that one night only, meant dollars, not pounds, so a burger that was, say, £9 became $9, which was a little bit of a reduction for us, and on top of that, we could even pay in dollars, so no need to do pesky conversions.
Buckingham, Buckinghamshire, UK - one of our favorite places to eat during that time period was a pub/restaurant in Buckingham called The White Hart…and MrsT liked it because it was one of the few places anywhere near us that had a salad bar (she likes salad bars, I’m finicky about them).
Columbus, Ohio, US - sat right across the street from each other are two of my favorite restaurants…Schmidt’s, a big German restaurant known for its cream puffs as big as your head and in about two dozen flavors, and The Mohawk, an upscale tavern that serves classic American dishes and excellent drinks.
Dayton, Ohio, UK - has to be Central Perc Cafe, a proper tea cafe, owned and operated by a couple originally from somewhere around Manchester, UK. No frilly US-interpreted idea of an English tearoom, this is more like a working-class diner, but with the usual tea cafe standards.
Edinburgh, Scotland - don’t remember the name, but way back in the ‘90’s, we’d driven up from England for a week or so, gone out to dinner to some Italian place recommended by the small B&B we were lodged at, and MrsT was very much off with her troublesome digestion. She asked the waiter if he could recommend something that would be mild and easy on her stomach, he disappeared, and a few minutes later, out popped the head of the kitchen, in his chef’s whites, asked MrsT several questions about how she was feeling, told her not to worry, he’d make something just for her, and he did (don’t remember what it was, but I know it hit the spot for her).
