re: What is the greatest thing you've ever eaten?

My Grandmas Banana Pudding

A good filet mignon is hard to beat, but I will say something that has always stuck with me is the lobster I had when we went to Maine. Nothing about it was chewy, and it melted in your mouth. I’ve yet to ever eat lobster that compares anywhere near to the one I had at some podunk restaurant off the highway in Maine.

A close second would be the Rueben sandwich I had in NYC. Don’t remember the name of the place, but it was a block or two from the bull on Wall Street.

A close third would be Turtle Soup from Commanders.

The "SPECIAL FILET" AT Four Seasons Steak House In Okinawa Japan. Teppanyaki off the chart. Not like shite here.

My mom's gulab jamun

A perfectly fried filet of a speckled trout that slept in the Gulf of Mexico within 12 hours of being cleaned, seasoned simply with cayenne and salt, cornmeal and thrown into the hot grease.

Lobster Spaghettini w/ Black Truffles from Neptune Oyster in Boston's North End.

I’ve been to the Los Angeles location just to try the spaghetti because I learned how to make it several years ago and have been making it ever since. It was just as good in the restaurant.

Conant is a talented dude.

For the thread - I have had so much awesome food it’s so hard to choose. However, Caesar salad is my favorite food item on the planet. I had one at Born and Raised in San Diego that they made tableside and I probably got more pleasure out of that than anything I’ve ever eaten.



I now make my own cae-sal at home just like this. I even microplane the parm. It’s actually very easy to make right.

Fish caught after a long day of hiking cooked over an open fire. Don't know why, but it always taste better.

Fatty tuna in Japan. Ate it every chance I could over there. It’s like butter.
