Great stuff! I've been to the Maggiano's behind the Downtown Philly Marriott (not to mention two different locations in ATL multiple times).  |
That's the one that Cappy was talking about! 
Now I'm really hungry

You had better bring your appetite (and your credit card) when you eat there.

Well, I would head to Philly, meet up with the posse, and go to the restaurant owned by the Iron Chef. I don't know the name (or even his name) but it is in Philly. For dessert I would fly to the Dominican Replublic and have a cup of really awesome coffee with this really awesome dessert my friend from the Dominican used to fix. Don't ask me what it's called because I don't have a clue. Matter of fact, I'm not even sure if it is a Dominican dessert...I'm just guessing.
Watch out posse...I'm headed your way!

They don't live here anymore and I've been out of contact for years (which is why I am really craving that dessert!!!).

If I knew what was in it I could try to make it myself! I just remember that it tasted awesome. It was kinda like a creme brule' - that's about as far as I can describe it.

 Sad to be taunted with a new dessert. So close, yet so far.....

A really really good steak house.
We have a local place called Vanilla Bean cake company - dessert time.
As for Italian: Hey I can do just as good and just as quickly.

There's a Maggiano's in KOP, Posse folk. We could make that our next outing????????
For me, several places.
I love Ruth's Chris Steak House in Buckhead. I've been to a couple others but their food, for some reason, was better. Maybe cuz the company was paying! 
There used to be a little place in NYC called Dino Cassini's on 7th Ave, not terribly far from the train station. BEST Italian food evah. We used to go there when I worked in the city many moons ago.
For more casual, I gotta say I LOVED Oven Grinders in Chicago. Possibly it was the company, but whenever I'm there....I'm there. Geno's on State St in Madison was good too.
For dessert...DEFINITELY the Cheesecake Factory or the Trellis in Williamsburg. Marcel Desaulniers' restaurant, and he is the undisputed KING of chocolate!!! Great food overall too.
