I would slap 10-15 people to get to their bread pudding.

Might've been one of the double barrel reserve bourbon county's, which i tried at the festival of barrel aged beers here.

Off the top of my head, a couple meals come to mind....one was a duck confit that I had at a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale that just happened to be across the parking lot from our hotel.

The other was a pistachio-crusted tuna at Dauphin’s in Mobile. Great meal all around - fantastic atmosphere with views from the top floor of the high rise building, great bread and hibiscus butter, great apetizers, great charbroiled oysters in a cast iron pan, great entrees and desserts...





My current favorite food item is the Dynamite Lobster appetizer (off the sushi menu) at Half Shell in the Hard Rock in Biloxi.



I love to eat, and for nearly a decade we traveled quite often all over the country for my kid to chase world titles in martial arts. I’d look for nice restauarants in every city we traveled to and had some very good meals over the years.

ETA: Almost forgot - stuffed lobster at Monkey’s Bar in Costa Rica was phenomenal. And my son still says the whole-fried snapper there was his best meal ever.

Veal medallions at the airport Hilton in Queens, NY on 12/30/95. I actually received a compliment as I was relieving my bowels in the restroom of some bar in Times Square the next day. I was mortified and couldn’t respond to the stranger outside the stall. But when someone tells you, in that situation, that whatever you had for dinner last night must have been awesome, I figure you take their word for it. It was a really good meal.

Was it the monkey bar in the jungle beside the riu palace?

Hard to say for food. But drink is easily 80’s era orange julius from the mall.
