Catch of the day: Grille 700 at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront<\/p><\/div>\n

By Mark Chesnut<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether it’s the highest-priced haute creation or home cooking, the United States is chock full of regional cuisine to delight the senses. And with a bit of research, you can easily enjoy mouthwatering dishes that represent the best of any destination, without stepping foot outside your hotel. Here are a few ideas to get your juices flowing.<\/p>\n

Adam\u2019s Mark Buffalo<\/a>
\nBuffalo wings have become so famous that many people don\u2019t realize they\u2019re named after the city in New York State where they were invented, not some mythical flying beast. The Adam\u2019s Mark Buffalo is home to Deco, a restaurant with an upscale variation — called char-grilled bourbon barbecue wings — on its lunch menu, but for the biggest and most authentic variety, choose from the sports bar menu, sauced with your choice of mild, medium, hot, barbecue or Italian flavors.<\/p>\n

Baltimore Marriott Waterfront<\/a>
\nGreat views aren\u2019t the only thing you can savor at this Baltimore hotel; Grille 700 restaurant serves an array of tasty local favorites, including Maryland crab cakes, crab and artichoke dip, and jumbo lump crab cakes served over wilted spinach.<\/p>\n

Cheyenne Mountain Resort<\/a>
\nLocated in scenic Colorado Springs, this hotel\u2019s Mountain View restaurant serves a truly local meal. The buffalo short rib features great range bison rubbed down with ancho chili and espresso; beer enthusiasts will want to wash it down with Laughing Lab Scottish Ale, which — in spite of the name —\u00a0 is made in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle<\/a>
\nSignature dishes at the hotel\u2019s ART restaurant include Pacific Northwest items, served with the kind of gourmet touch you’d expect from Four Seasons. Chefs Kerry Sear and Jelle Vandenbroucke use locally sourced products for much of their menu, which features favorites like spiced wild king salmon.<\/p>\n

Wyndham Riverfront<\/a>
\n7, the main restaurant at this New Orleans hotel, serves what it calls “contemporary New Orleans” cuisine, with flavorful dishes including alligator ravioli, barbecued shrimp and grits and Louisiana crawfish pie with wild mushrooms.<\/p>\n
