Each region has a signature cuisine, from New England's lobster to New Orleans's jambalaya to Nebraska’s steaks autographed by the mayor of Omaha. Cull cuisine from the nation’s many corners with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of steak and seafood during dinner at Lasher's in Long Beach.

Midwestern steaks, Pacific seafood, and Maryland crab cakes tinge an ever evolving dinner menu with the regional flair that earned Lasher's the crown as Beachcomber's Best Fine Dining Restaurant. Meatloaf exudes unprecedented elegance after chefs embellish hearty slabs of comfort fare with a glistening cranberry glaze ($21) set aglow by toothpicks hung with tiny chandeliers. Slowly braised beef short ribs blanketed in red wine natural jus snuggle up to veggies and pillowy Yukon Gold mashed potatoes ($28). Tomato caper relish, basmati rice, and garden grub perch along the pan-seared edges of freshly snared wild king salmon swimming in beurre blanc ($31) like an athlete at the world’s most decadent Olympics.

Nestled inside the welcoming crannies of a 1920s abode, Lasher's warmly beckons patrons into a dining area that spans a maze of virtually untouched period-appropriate rooms. Outdoors, diners flood a scenic patio and swig wine or beer and cocktails before breaking into a heated debate about whether or not hops can feel pain.
