What is the best meal you have ever eaten in your life?

Place in Rome. Ended up being seven courses or so, food wasn't great and service was slow.

But it was on a hill overlooking entire city on a mild summer day. It was beautiful.

Also had a decent tenderloin and shrimp at the strip club last weekend.

Popeyes spicy tenders after waking up at 4am and fishing and drinking all day

back in the day for Christmas, my uncle (big time chef in texas) made lamb chops with some type of nice glaze that was cooked perfectly. The sides were garlic mashed potatoes that were thick, yet creamy. Also had brown sugar, sweeted carrots. Homemade bread.

I never remember being so satisfied with something in my entire life.

I'm sure one of my meals at Commanders would rank as best.

Bangkok Cuisine when it was on Carrollton next to Rock N Bowl

I also remember having a stellar meal at Catahoula's in Grand Coteau about a decade ago.

As a kid growing up I had some great meals at the old Red Bull Inns around Pittsburgh

On a lesser scale, Gus's in Memphis and Hawk's in Robert's Cove

Baked Peking Duck with roasted asparagus and tres leche for dessert at Union Square Café in NYC.

Per Se in NYC a while back. Don't recall exactly what we had but it was 7-8 small courses including a dessert. Everything we ate had such intense flavor and the service was outstanding.

Deer hunting with my dad and two brothers in Mississippi. We hiked for miles. Finally he gave us our sandwiches which was just bunny bread and ham. shite was so good.

Those type of meals are always the best. Miss going deep sea fishing with my grandpa and dad. My granny would make us a bunch of sandwiches like that and we would all take a break from fishing and just talk. My grandpa can't fish anymore and broke down on me when telling me about the issues with cancer he is fighting right now when I went visited over Christmas, miss those days out in the gulf.

Raw Oysters fresh out the sack. Slurp em right out the shell Baw. Best meal every time.

Probably the meal I'll always consider the turning point in my life was at my grandmother's table while I was in high school.

It was during the summer and I had been at dance camp. It had been endless fast food meals and she brings out a traditional Southern veggie dinner. I scarfed that down like I had never eaten before. That's when I first started to take an interest in real food and left my days of frequent Taco Bell, McDonald's, and frozen microwave meals in my childhood.
