What is the single best thing you have ever eaten?

For me, it was a roast cooked by a 1st mate/cook for my parent's anniversary while on a trip in French Polynesia.
I'm sure the location and whole experience had something to do with it. However, I have yet to have anything that compares. He ended up drowning sometime later, and I was never able to get the recipe from him.

a big platter of assorted grilled seafood from the Adriatic... fresh as can be in Venice. Like yours I'm sure location and experience were a factor, but it was simple, beautiful and prefect in every way just how it was. If someone gave me the chance to repeat a meal.. I would choose that everytime

I once had a shrimp spaghetti cooked with some shrimp that were peeled almost alive and the noodles were boiled with bayou water on the back of a shrimp boat, it also had some small chunks of spam in it.
That or some beef ribs that my brother in law smoked.

Mussels in cinque terra

But it’s hard to beat good boiled crawfish

Well I’d say he gave you a good reason not to get the recipe. Took that one to the grave.
I can’t single out any one thing but the best thing I’ve had lately was a nicely seared piece of foie gras on a toast point with some sort of balsamic and honey reduction canapé at a function the other night. Catered by Margot Bouanchaud who in my opinion is the best caterer around.
I also had a whole roasted snapper in a wood oven with tomatoes and basil over some risotto at a friends camp the other day that was phenomenal.

My maternal grandmother's gumbo. She would make and smoke her own sausage, so I can get close, but I cannot recreate the whole thing.

Cajun turkey with swiss no tomatoes on white.

That's a tough one. To pick a single best dish out of all the food I've eaten in my 65 years is damn near impossible.
I do remember very fondly of my grandmother's cooking when I was a kid and two of the best dishes she ever fed me were really simple ones. One was her white beans with ham that I've tried to duplicate many times over the years, but can't get that taste just right. The other was her corn bisque. It was sweet and very flavorful and she used shrimp and sometime lump crabmeat in it.
Unfortunately, about the time I got interested in learning how to cook, she was heading down the road to dementia and there was no U-turn.

My friend's mom makes the best Indian food I have ever had. I'm Indian, and my mom hates this whenever I say it. One day they let me try some deer curry (yea you read that right). I was scraping every damn crumb from that rubbermaid container. That was hands down the best food I have ever eaten.

Not sure why this got downvoted. Indian food is some of the GOAT a food, no pun intended.

Hmmm...fresh anchovies baked with breadcrumbs, garlic, and herbs in Maratea, down in Basilicata in Italy. That’s my most recent “best thing”.
But of all time, thus far? Tough call...Jacques Genin’s Paris-Brest is at the top of the list. Hazelnut studded choux pastry filed with a caramelized hazelnut pastry cream. Unbelievably good.
Second best might have been a magical raviolo at Quince in San Francisco....it was filled with ricotta and other cheese, and a quails egg with a still runny yolk. You broke open the pasta and the egg yolk mixed with a brown butter sauce beneath the pasta. Hoo boy.

A 1 Lb California burrito with carne asada in San Diego at a place called Santana's. I've heard it's closed now but they have several places you can still go to get a similar burrito. It was the bomb.

Was fishing the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland and caught a boat load of coral trout. Grilled them right there on the boat while fishing. The best grilled fish I have ever eaten for sure.

Anything my grandmother cooked. Anyone who doesn't answer the same had a horrible grandmother.

One of the posters here a couple years ago posted something about making a deer curry. It looked awesome.
I was actually going to post that one of the best meals I've had was at one of my friends house and it was his mom's home cooked Indian food. I've eaten my share of Indian food in restaurants and love it but this was the best I've had.
