What is the most amazing meal you've ever had?
taking off from the ickiest food thread...
What is the most amazing meal/food you've ever had? I grew up a very "picky eater" due in no small part to having a "dining table dictator" for a father, it was only as an adult (and through my travels) that I expanded my palate. I've been blessed to have had many incredible fine dining experiences but... My most amazing meal was at a tiny tucked away restaurant in Venice, Italy - Osteria Vivaldi in 2003. My friend, a native Venetian, was a friend of the chef. The chef insisted we not order off the menu but sent course after course of his freshest dishes to our table. Carpaccio - several types of the freshest fish caught a few hours before, sliced paper thin, accompanied by a complimentary herb or fruit with a squeeze of lemon and local olive oil...sea bass and peaches, tuna and capers etc... Baby Venetian Shrimp over fresh polenta Fresh pasta, with black (cuttlefish) ink, tomatoes and parsley The most decadent and perfect tiramisu I've ever had... With copious Italian wine pairings & aperitifs along the way. Everything was incredibly fresh, caught/grown and made right there. I feel spoiled, for life, for having had this meal!

The most amazing meal I ever had was just last night. I attended a Seder dinner with my girlfriend. I am not Jewish and I enjoyed the delicious home cooked kosher food and even more so, the diversity of people that shared the meal, their thoughts, the ritual, the community that I was a part of for that moment in time.

Dinner with Arturo Sandoval and his band and my buddy Danny, we had just produced their show for a corporate client. Fresh salmon sushi and sashimi with fresh Hass avocados. BLISS. An evening to remember! Danny died in 2009, I am so blessed to have shared that trip and evening with him!

hmmmm I really don't know about this one. I love food, and usually think the present meal is the most amazing. I guess it sort of depends on what you are hungry for as to how amazing a meal is.
I thought my breakfast last Saturday was the best breakfast I'd ever had. Sweet has cooked some amazing meals, I cook some amazing meals Then there are Grandma's meals ok now I'm drooling.... The family reunion meals are usually to die for. I just don't know will have to give this one some thought

hard one
Good question. It's hard to answer. I'm lucky to have had many many good meals in my life. Of course I am grateful for them all. I think I have to say my twin's wife's stepmom, is a gourmet cook, invited us over for dinner, and she made beef wellington with asparagus wrapped in bacan, and a bunch of fancy foods with sauces I can't pronounce, and some kind of dessert with strawberries and whipped creme. Had to be the best meal I ever ate.

I partied like it was...
Reno, 1999
I was the guest of my brand new in-laws. They gave us an all expense paid honeymoon at the El Dorado as a wedding gift. One of the restaurants there was absolutely divine. There was a buffet (which I love...I am a TOTAL buffet kind of girl) but I remember that I ordered my meat off of the menu and it. was. heavenly. The absolutely most tender and thick filet mignon, peppercorn crusted and topped with a decadent cream sauce. Oh. My. Gawd. *drool* There were tons of delicious sides and desserts, but it's that one steak that I think of when I think of my best meal ever. |

Two candidates: 1) Whatever it was I ate my first meal after returning from China, and 2) A heavenly steak dinner at a little restaurant in New Orleans. All future steaks are measured by that one.

A male friend of mine, who used to live in the Greensprings area - down near Ashland, Oregon - invited me out for supper one hot August night to star gaze and taste a decadent meal he was making for us. His private property was gorgeous (gazebo, springs nearby, tons of pine trees, deer, owls, cicadas), but he lives in France now.
Anyway, everything was natural (organic)- his food preference identification is Vegan... We had a roasted vegetable medley, made and dressed in olive oil and sea salt and various herbs he grew in his gardens: beets, parsnips, carrots, baby red potatoes, kale, walnuts, and anise. When the vegetables were tender from roasting, he added crumbled feta and baby spinach leaves to the mixture and served it with freshly baked homemade bread. We had a special wine from France (where he is from) with the meal, too. Can't remember the vintner's name or anything, but the meal was out of this world. I had no idea what marvelous cooking skills he had, but I was aware of his expertise in herbs. He was a fabulous gardner, well versed in many subjects and conversation, excellent food and star gazing with wine made for a wonderful, relaxing evening.

The most amazing meal I've ever had was on our 5th wedding anniversary. I had been out of town on business for 2 weeks. Our anniversary was on a Friday and that's the day I drove the 5 1/2 hours back home. Upon arrival my wife greeted me at the door in her robe (minds out of the gutter, chuckles). I had already made dinner reservations, she had no clue where we were going. She handed me my robe, asked me to get a shower and I'd find a surprise in the bedroom. I showered, went in the bedroom, she had gone out while I was gone and bought me a dark blue Armani suit, new dress shirt and tie. I got dressed and went in the livingroom to wait on her. This was one of the rare times I didn't watch her get ready as she had the door shut in the back bath where she dressed. She came down the hall, man, I fell in love all over again. We left for the restaurant, I think I ran off the side of the road a couple times cuz I couldn't stop looking at her. She was absolutely stunning in this long skirt that was slit way up high on the thigh with a matching jacket/blouse type thing.
I know we had steak because of where I made the reservations, lol, this quiet intimate steak restaurant with just the right dim lighting. The food was not what made it the most amazing meal ever. It was the look in my wife's eyes as we spoke. It was the coy flirting nature of her's. It was the sound of her voice. It was the energy that flowed between us. What made it amazing was quite simply, her. I shall never forget that night as long as I live. I can close my eyes and still see her in that outfit and feel that energy. And yea, when we got home, it was on!! |
