what dishes are always best when made at home?

Each year at this time I look forward to picking that perfect tomato from the garden, cutting it int thick slices, cooking some high-quality bacon, lightly toasting some whole wheat bread, spreading some mayo and mustard, adding a few leaves of romaine. Pile it all together and digging in. I have never had a BLT at a restaurant the equals what I can make at home with garden fresh tomatoes. I am a faily good cook, but good restaurants can often beat what I make at home. What dishes that you make cannot be topped at a restaurant?

Jambalaya and gumbo. I think it is because you are so set on your own style that when it isn't exactly the same it is easy to critique.

Crawfish etoufee--either it's short on crawfish or short on flavor when I'm stupid enough to order it somewhere.
Agree on the BLT, but you put mustard on your BLT?

Grits. Some places can do corn grits great and some places have a killer shrimp and grits. I've never had edible normal grits at any place but my home or someone else's.

This is exactly what I did for lunch yesterday. Except no mustard. It overpowers the tomato. My tomatoes are small right now so I had to use two to make the sammich.

Almost any "cajun" dish. Jam, gumbo, any rice and gravy dish.

A lot of people will say gumbo but the gumbo at work is better than any gumbo I've ever had at anyone's home/tailgate/etc IMO.
I do think jambalaya is better at home but I'm admittedly not a jambalaya fan anyway.
