Sunday recovery

Sometimes a guy just has to eat out. Particularly the morning after. Joel DiPppa writes:

I admit it, I am a fan of the nightlife in this town. After a night out, sometimes, you wake up Saturday or Sunday and just want to get a filling and tasty meal in your stomach. Instead of a normal brunch stop, I will often head to Casa Manana.

Along with the salsas, the queso blanco is a great starter. The salsas are tasty and each with their own character, and heat. The queso is flavorful and smooth - a nice slow start to a good recovery lunch. The burritos (pictured) are truly noteworthy. They are stuffed full of any number of fillings and just hit the spot. ALso, if you are wanting to get a quick reminder of the terminology in Mexican food, the menus at Casa Manana have definitions and explanations to job the memory.

Any other recommendations for a non-standard brunch or recovery lunch from blog readers?

DIM SUM.

Nothing quite as restorative to me as the Chicken Tikka Korma over at Star of India -- especially served up with a hot cup of milky, spicy chai.

When I am truly sick (as in ill, not suffering from my own choices), a pint of egg drop soup from New China Taste tends to do the trick.

I'm also a big fan of Casa Manana....love the salsa verde and the patio is one of the best in town.

I ate at a "New Mexican" style restaurant last week in Phoenix that was hands down the best Mexican I've ever eaten and I've eaten a lot.I've lived and feasted in Texas, Southern Colorado and all over New Mexico. It was seriously one of the best meals of my life. The name of the place is Los Dos Molinos and it's housed in an old hacienda that belonged to the actor Tom Mix. If you're ever in Phoenix be sure and check it out.

It was better than the Grand Canyon...
