We all know that Chic swears by the Firehouse, Cutler loves any Sushi restaurant but what is your goto place for a good bb quality dinner?
My favorite is Fuddrukkers. I get the 2/3 pound Ostrich Burger with no bun and a side salad. I tell them no oil or butter and they listen. It is high in Protein, low fat and damn good tasting.

I remember watching Muscle magazine on ESPN a long time ago and Shawn Ray would eat at this place called Sizzler's.
We dont have a Sizzler's here in Colorado but we do have a Fuddrucker's....great burgers
I wish we had a Sizzler's here though cause that is where I would be eating....if they still do exist. I remember when I lived on Oahu, there was a Sizzler's at the Pearl Ridge Shopping Center
But if people do go to Oahu..they should check out I love Country Cafe (awesome food)...bodybuilder friendly food just like the Firehouse
-
mcdonalds
nothing like a big mac ;D

The sizzler? It is a chain. They make a cheap cut of steak and have this salad buffet. A friend of mine was a cook there and said that they get the lowest quality of beef and then use a "heat activated flavored enzyme" that adds a smokiness flavor and tenderizes the steak. He said he never touched the food there.

on the flip side, as much as i try to avoid eating it, kfc is fuggin good
-
Gotta go Sushi. Can't go wrong with Ahi and Salmon sashimi. So damn good!

mcdonalds is good. lots of calories for not so much money. since off-season goes on for years and years for the most of us, why would we care about a few months of dieting. the important thing here is to eat a lot of calories most of the year.
-
fug you all... i am ordering pizza!!! ;D

The best Restaurant for me is at home ;) my wife is a very good cook has a wonderfull feeling for flavour (something I lack completly) she doesn't cook for me extremly offen but when she does it usually taste so good and I can be sure she ties in my diet.

Hmmm. Probably one of 3-4 Indian restaurants, and tell them to turn up the heat.

learn how to do them yourself, seriously it's not that hard.
-
Yeah, I have considered that, I know a guy who taught himself and he said the same thing.
I can also get the sushi tuna and ingredients for free because I work at a catering business... so maybe I should really look into this.
Thanks for the tip, Stark.

hahahahahhaa, oh brother "ostrich burger", what a penis puffer. :D
AHAHAAHAH!!! I'm sure he also asks for two cups of oatmeal, a handful of aminos and some steamed rice....he's a big bodybuilder afterall. The cooks probably laugh and call him queer.

Salt Grass
Ruth Chris
Bob's steak and chop house
Double Eagle steak house
Kirbys
We use to have a Flemmings as well, and to someone who said Sizzlers, we have that over here too. I've been there and for the price it's quite good.
And in Cali, it's In and Out Burger!

They have those places here in Dallas (and in a couple other towns, Houston too I think) - called Fogo de Chao. The other knock off is Texas de Brazil. They give you a red/green card that you flip over to green and waiters come over to slice off cuts of all different kinds of meat, they don't stop until you turn your card back to red. Awesome idea - plus you don't actually have to talk to the help! ;D

PF Changs!!! ;D
i went to pf changs in sacramento for the first time about month ago with the g/f.. really awesome food. i had a dish which had chicken and peanuts and it was a little bit spicy. fucking bomb food.
my personal favorite restaurant is not any specific chain...just any chinese buffet. pile on those spicy chicken and beef dinners.

Any steak house or the always safe waffle house... egg whites, chicken breast and steamed hash browns..can't beat it!

Yep! Fogo de Chao in Houston is one of the best.
-
sushi is free for me, gf is a sushi chef.
-
My favorite? Longhorn Steakhouse has the Sierra Chicken. Two nicely seasoned 6 oz. chicken breasts and you can sub the rice pilaf for a sweet potato or veggies. The Renegade sirloin is good and the salmon kicks ass. Outback is nice of course. Basically any steakhouse just hold the butter and no fried or foods.

I go to mcdonalds and order 1-8

ANYBODY HAVE ANY COOL STORIES , FROM WHAT I HEAR THAT PLACE IS AN OLD FAVORITE OF BODYBUILDER FROM THE PAST!!! DO ANY TOP GUYS STILL EAT THERE?
-
maxdave did the last videos about 2 years. i don't think the new crop of pros can afford to eat there.
-
yeah, its still there, the fucking prices are skyrocket, a meal and drink will cost you about 25 to 30 dollars
-
I use to eat in there as a young guy, would quiz flex wheeler, paul dillet, and craig
-
Last time I was in there I saw a bunch of net geeks having some sort of 'no homo bro' meet up. I literally couldn't finish my $22 egg whites.
-
Here is their menu. Much more expensive than it used to be...

-
Who the hell would pay these prices when you can get the same at a Denny's???
-
use to you could eat for 12 dollars, now its about 30 dollars for one person.
-
After the Getbig death of Bob Chick, the Firehouse saw an opportunity to capitalize on his iconic reputation and jacked the prices up. I've heard the Bob Bowl now goes for $99.99 and is their best seller.

It was pretty good when I was there in 2002 and 2005. Prices were about 40-50% lower back then.
-

That's fucking ridiculous even for L.A.!
-
I've eaten there.
-
Great BB Food
-
Ridiculously expensive for a restaurant that thinks bodybuilders are actually
A list celebs. It's an over priced IHOP. lol
-
We stopped by there last month and the place was empty except for couple of patrons at the bar and two people in the bar booths. The main dining area was empty and so was the exterior dining area.
Looked depressing so we walked across to Rose Cafe and had something that was not too memorial.

I've eaten at the Rose Cafe in the late eighties, didn't know it was still there!
-
I've ate at the rose, it's still there to this day I believe, it's just a different crowd, and was always busy so it was easier just to go to firehouse or fresh to go, fresh to go had some good stuff wasn't that expensive and was pretty good, these days the lifestyle of Los Angeles is super expensive, some people would eat breakfast and lunch at firehouse in the same day, today that would run you about 50 dollars
-
I once went there with Tito24.
-
anyone ever eat at a place called muscle maker grill
-

I already ate your wifes taco and cleaned her garden try harder punk
-
I went there about 3 years ago. Breakfast was very good and was not nearly as expensive as what it is today. I was the only guy there with any size on. That was the big surprise. It was a Sunday morning though.

$16.50 for a Bob Bowl... Only too expensive if you want it to be.

i was in venice last month for a week.......i trained at gold's and then had my post workout meal there.
very good food.......i would usually have a buffalo patty and a yam....along with coffee....ice tea and orange juice.
the bill was usually around 18-20 bucks.......the buffalo patty was what made the meal expensive.
anyhow......the place was busy everytime i was in there........place still does a good business.
by the way..... gold's is still hopping......it was pretty packed every time i was there.

That is not nearly enough food for you my ffriend. When we go I'll get you more carbs, prefferably a stack of pancakes and wash it down with some milk.
