I asked my friends a simple question: "If the Food Network came to Lubbock, which local restaurants should they go to?"

I'm presenting to you the answers that came back to that question. All I asked was that they include one sentence as to "why" they chose the restaurant(s) they chose. Other than that, here are some raw opinions from your friends and neighbors on who should be featured on the Food Network.

Seoul

1) I have never eaten anything from there that I didn’t like. I even learned to like kimchi from there; 2) if you order the right entrees, you get all the traditional Korean side dishes (banchan); 3) the customer service is amazing, as the owner always remembers us when we visit; and 4) the portions and price are also right on the money. Pun intended - N. Harpster

Sabroso

The food is always on point and the staff is amazing - I. Klafka

98th & Slide Hot Spots (three suggestions)

The new New Brooklyn place: The fried meatballs are the bomb!

Back 40: Nachos are stacked with all the love on each individual chip!

Gator's Bayou: Best crawfish bisque, especially with a side of a grilled cheese or hushpuppies! - D. Robinson
