Updated 12 March 2019

Powerhouse Hollywood couple—and parents of twins—David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris may live in New York, but their busy lives take them all around the country. David, a professional chef who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu, started a catering company in LA and became a Food Network star. Neil has been a successful actor for most of his life, but his long-standing passion for all things delicious grew over the years, and he’s now seen as an authority on food and dining too. With all the traveling they do, we asked them which U.S. restaurants they savor the chance to eat at.

About the restaurant
Set in a historical landmark, this is one of Michigan's best restaurants. This place is wonderful for events and big parties. This establishment is known for fine food, which has a menu that focuses on seafood and wonderfully cooked steaks.

The Prime Rib had great flavor and my wife’s Sea Bass was very tasty. So many excellent choices on the menu. Our waiter “Brian” was exceptional with his menu suggestions and service. What a wonderful evening with family, highly recommend.

About the restaurant
The decor of this New Mexican restaurant is as impressive as the food. Located about 20 minutes outside of Albuquerque, this massive hacienda boasts many rooms. The terra cotta fountains, plentiful chips, salsa, guacamole, and green chile are what make this restaurant a true wonder.

About the restaurant
I have been here a few times, and every time I come to Chicago, I simply can't skip out on this place. Top Chef winner Stephane Izard creates innovative and creative food. With its small plates, you'll have to resist yourself from ordering the entire menu. Strong, flavorful food that is better after every single bite.

About the restaurant
Lidia Bastianich, acclaimed chef and TV personality, created Lidia's, which is the quintessential restaurant for rustic northern Italian cooking. Set in an old train station, the farmhouse atmosphere is perfectly rustic and elegant at the same time. The dishes are flavorful and will leave you beyond full of delicious food. When ordering, go for the pastas, especially the pasta trio that's cooked tableside. If you can find room in your stomach, you'll have to try anything with the gorgonzola sauce or the mushroom arancini.

About the restaurant
Okay let’s be honest, have you ever had a bad meal at Momofuku?! David Chang brings his seasonal, always changing, Asian-inspired menu to a bigger, badder and tastier level. Always great food done Vegas style.

About the restaurant
Looking for the best sushi in Orlando? This is your place. The dining room is like a Vegas nightclub, but the food is as authentic as eating in Japan. Whether you sit down and share dim sum on lazy Susan's, or order straight from the gigantic sushi bar, this iron chef does it right.

About the restaurant
If you're in the mood for Italian cuisine, this is your place to go. Make sure to book ahead because this tiny Trattoria fills up fast. From homemade, rolled pasta to perfectly cooked Bistecca Florentine, this LA favorite is a no brainer.

I frequently dine here with a group of 8-10 friends about once a month and I always pick this place because the waiters and staff are very accommodating and we all love the food. The bruschetta, Alimentari salad, and lemon pasta are some of our favorites. We think of Angelini as our go-to place.

About the restaurant
With a tiny dining room and a multi-course tasting menu, Ventri never disappoints. It's over-the-top, expensive and probably some of the best Italian food you will ever have.

Our second dining experience, for four this time, at Vetri Cucina proved as high-level and rewarding as our first visit for two a few months ago. Attention to every detail is recognized and demonstrated by every associate and server. From the moment we were greeted warmly and the entrance door was opened for us, to the excellent and noticeable coordination of every staff member dedicated to ensuring our optimum dining experience, we enjoyed every explanation and every taste of each course and each paired wine. Most sincere kudos and highest recommendations from our group of four.
