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.

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

Seriously, we never eat Italian out -- my dad is the best chef

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.

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.

He'd feed you until you could eat no more. Last night he made chicken and ribs but he did something different with the chicken and I said he used too much salt. My God was he offended. "That's alright ... see If I cook chicken for you..." He kills me

My ex's family is from Jersey and his grandfather used to own a restaurant in Lodi. They are Italian, his Dad makes the most amazing food ever which I have not had for 7 years. That is so sad for me! I can't imagine ever criticizing a thing they made.

I don't think I'd ever eat again. Also, when I was little I said "yuck" about something my mother made and my father laid into me. Had to be polite to the cook. I just had greasy chinese here, not so good. I love food and have had so many good things I will think on it and get back.

Oh yeah, and his Mom had a degree from a Danish cooking school, oh how I miss that food.

Best meal? All you can eat soup and salad at the Olive Garden!

OK, I'm being silly.
