I don't know if anyone is interested, but I went through this thread and the burger thread, googled all the restaurants, and compiled a list of ones I need to check out. These are ones which (a) I haven't been to before, (b) ones in areas I'm likely to be at (basically near my house, near my folks' house, and near downtown), and (c) ones which had a high score on google. Obviously a lot of great places are likely excluded from one or more of those qualifications. Where multiple people recommended the same restaurant, I indicated that with e.g. "x2".
