With Slavic favorites like stuffed peppers, goulash and roast goose on the menu, Three Brothers Serbian Restaurant is the place for an Eastern European meal. Calling the restaurant "cozy" and "homey," Rachael ordered Borek, a spinach-cheese dish similar to spanakopita, made with phyllo sheets.

Rachael enjoys a beer at this spy-themed spot serving bites and drinks. Prefer a cocktail? Order the Great Spytini, which is served James Bond style: shaken, not stirred. Another must-try is the Squeak-Easy Cheese Curds, golden fried nuggets of cheesy goodness topped with parsley and Parmesan.

For Rachael, "walking into this place is like walking onto the set of Happy Days." Though she stopped in for breakfast, you can eat around the clock at Miss Katie's Diner. Its huge omelet selection and diner favorites make this '50s throwback a huge score. Did we mention breakfast's served all da

Milwaukee's German influence can really be seen in its food. A visit to Mader's family-owned restaurant is like a visit to historic Bavaria. Since 1902, generations of the Mader family have dished up popular specialties like its famous Pork Shank and housemade Sauerkraut in this traditional setting.

Enjoy "breathtaking" views of the White House and city monuments along with craft cocktails and dessert at this rooftop bar. Rachael ordered the "tipsy" bananas flambe, which is prepared tableside and served with ice cream, chocolate syrup and flaming banana liqueur.

As a famed ambassador of Spanish cuisine, Chef Jose Andres's multiple Jaleo restaurants have become a DC institution. With more than 30 "small plate" tapas to consider and as home to Marc Murphy's favorite paella (stated on The Best Thing I Ever Ate), Jaleo gets a hearty "Ole!" from DC locals.

Since opening in 1963, Clyde's of Georgetown has attracted tourists and bigwigs alike. Even Rachael Ray said Clyde's had "bipartisan support" after feasting from their seasonal menu with stellar prices. Vote for yourself with the local fave: Crab Tower made with a coconut-curry rice cake.

For incredible Seattle waterfront views, Baja-style decor and even kayak rentals, head to Agua Verde for an affordable Mexican lunch or dinner. Try a fish, portobello or yam taco served with organic chips and homemade salsa, and wash it down with a mango margarita that Rachael calls fantastic.

With its warm decor, friendly vibe and 14 neighborhood locations, Caffe Ladro is a favorite among Seattle locals. Each location serves up pastries made in-house from scratch and a varied selection of coffee beverages. Rachael called the Medici Mocha with orange zest her "new favorite coffee drink."

Locals head to Bick's for an eclectic, frequently changing menu that puts modern twists on old favorites, from spring rolls to garden salads and a selection of meat and seafood entrees. Located in the Broadview neighborhood of Seattle, Rachael says its location helps keep the restaurant affordable.

Serving craft beers to Seattle locals for over 25 years, the Redhook Brewery offers a variety of light and dark brews to please any beer drinker's palate. Rachael recommends taking a tour of the brewery, which costs $1 and includes up to five samples of beer at the end.

Popular with the locals, Rendezvous Bistro offers a sophisticated, cozy escape for a casual night at the bar or full evening in the dining room. Their eclectic American bistro fare rotates seasonally with dishes like grilled venison, elk tartare, crispy lamb belly and the only raw bar in town.

What was once an old cinder block factory is now home to 15 tanks of some of the tastiest brews this side of the Rockies. Unwind by Snake River Brewery's brewpub fireplace with a pint of toasty Snake River Lager and a homemade soft pretzel. Don't forget - happy hour means half price deals!

Soaking up Jackson Hole's Old West flavors means a stop off at Sweetwater Restaurant. Hankering cowboy cuisine? Grab the local favorite, elk, served up as sausage or a braised shank. Of course, you could also just order The Cowboy - a huge roast beef hoagie with cheddar, mushrooms and horseradish.

Hiking the mountains of Jackson Hole takes fuel, so the Bunnery Bakery & Restaurant has developed a clever OSM blend - oats, sunflower seeds and millet - that power-packs a fresh assortment of baked and griddled sweets. Dine (and save) like Rachael with a kick-start from the crispy O.S.M. waffle.
