Best meal
 

What's the best meal you've ever eaten?

Mine was at Delmonico's, which is Emeril Lagasse's restaurant at The Venetian in Las Vegas 1/02. I had steak and my friend & I split a bottle of syrah (is that right?) I'm not a wine person, but this was just perfect with the meal. I've never tasted anything like it before or since.

Honorable mention to mom's lasagna every Christmas. :D

The best meals i've ever had are at a place called Carl's. It's down the stairs and into my dining room -- great Italian food. Except I have to bus my own table :distress: Seriously, we never eat Italian out -- my dad is the best chef :nod:

The best meals depends on the company. A bowl of cheerios for dinner is great if you are eating it with the right person.

-My friend Heidi's signature meal is wonderful - lasagna, garlic bread, and dirt cake

-Chicken teriyaki, potted bread with strawberry butter at Patti's Restaurant

-Anything at two local restaurants - Dudley's and Desha's

Can I ask You something? What is garlic bread? I see in movies that's usually seen as something Italian, but we really don't eat anything like that as a habit.

There's this little family resturant by my house that makes the absolute best french toast imaginable, it's almost orgasmic! Add in their signiture fabulous hot chocolate and you have a breakfast made in heaven.

sourdough, butter, garlic. delish. come to think of it, my grandma didn't really make garlic bread, either. :confused:

I've seen it made lots of ways. Usually Italian bread covered in garlic, butter, and cheese. I think it's more Americanized Italian -- the fattening stuff. :laugh:

It sounds interesting. :) The only thing that is a bit close to it, is what we call bruschetta, a slice of toasted bread (our typical bread called casareccio), on which we brush some garlic and add olive oil, sometimes tomatoes, etc. For us is an appetizer before pizza, usually.

The best garlic bread is at Bob Chinn's, outside of Chicago. And it's not even an Italian place - it's seafood.

The best meal I ever had was Mexican at Don's in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Sadly, Don retired a while ago and sold the place.

Yeah, garlic bread is typically even simpler than bruschetta. Usually, it's sourdough bread (often a baguette cut once lengthwise) with a mix of butter & garlic on top, & then broiled lightly or toasted. Sometimes it's topped with parsley or melted cheese, but often it's just plain.

It's often served as a side in Italian restaurants in America, but you see it at a lot of different kinds of places, like barbecue joints & even standard coffee shops. Americans really grow up on it.

I really can't remember a single best meal, but several come to mind: Morton's of Chicago (porterhouse steak) in Sacramento, the cioppino at Scoma's in Sausalito, a Japanese sushi restaurant here in Monterey Park once prepared a special thank-you meal for us that was filled with the most amazing sushi I've ever eaten, the dungeoness crab pie at Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing ... plus dozens of amazing meals cooked by mother, sisters, aunts, etc., for family occasions.

My favorite down-home, good-time, relaxing, atmospheric restaurant, however, is still -- all these years later -- North Woods Inn.

Bruschetta is very good. I miss living with my Italian mom. :D

Friends of my parents used to have a Vietnamese restaurant. Ate there for a birthday and a few other occasions before the place went bust.. it's so delicate and delicious, I love Vietnamese food. One thing I made at home for christmas once, it's very thin ricemeal pancakes that you fill with various things, fresh vegetables, some meat or shrimps, fresh herbs (especially coriandre/cillantro or whatever you call it) and a chilidip.. mmmmm!!!

Where do you live that you never had garlic bread Romy?
