What's the best meal you ever ate. When and Where? Restaurant links, photos, anecdotes greatly appreciated.

Can be fancy schmancy or barebones.

    lasagna from bella monica in raleigh. anytime my mom makes spinach pie or her homemade spaghetti. you all will laugh at this, but I also had an absolutely unbelievable thin crust pizza from pizza hut once. the crust was like slightly thicker (not as thick as hand-tossed), and was just drenched with pizza sauce and cheese, it was amazing.

    you're right, i'm laughing at the concept of something from pizza hut being described as the best pizza someone has ever eaten

    did you order it from the pizza-shoes?

    Haha, I love Pizza Hut. Kind of feel like you either love it or you hate it. And I love it coming from an area known for real pizza. Would I take Pizza Hut over a real slice? No. But are there times I crave Pizza Hut? Absolutely.

    Idk for sure the best meal I've ever ate, but the last time I was truly impressed/taken back by something I ate were arincini balls that I tried at San Gennaro feast in NYC.

    for the record I am totally fine with the hut. considering it to be the best pizza I've ever eaten is a bridge too far

    Man, this is tough. Top of my head, I'd have to say the tasting we did for our wedding at our venue. World-class stuff. Filet mignon was out of this world.

    The meal I had the night I proposed to my now-wife was also pretty amazing. Another filet mignon. That was more of the vibe and atmosphere and the anticipation of popping the question which made it so special.

    Homemade anything is absolutely acceptable, but try to describe what about the item (besides love) makes it so special; is it that way it sits out overnight, just a tad extra butter, extra crispy...?

    None that jump out and scream "BEST EVER FOR SURE"

    I had a Filet Oscar out in California a few years ago that was pretty amazing/memorable. More recently I had some incredible authentic ropa vieja while in Naples, FL.

    For total experience at a high end place probably Humuhumunukunukuapuaa (Humu's) at the Grand Wailea on Maui for my wedding anniversary a couple years ago. The restaurant is these thatched hut buildings on stilts over a salt water lagoon full of fish (and live lobsters that you can request for dinner) bout 100 yards from the Ocean, so right off you have a setting that you could eat cold leftovers at and be fully content. I dont remember exactly what we ate, there was abalone chowder that was perfect, some different fish preparations, everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned well with some surprising flavors, service was pretty impeccable i.e. attentive but not ever present and overbearing. You had tome to just relax and enjoy the view,vibe, food, but they were watching and right as you might need something they happened to come by with it. Highly recommended for a special meal out on vacation.

    hard to choose from a few meals i had while in Europe. when i was in Lucerne, Switzerland we checked out this all organic/locally sourced Thai food place that blew my mind, and we did a family style thing of like 7-8 dishes off the menu. My mouth is watering just thinking about. Also def the fried pork knuckle i had in Germany. The meat in both of these countries was

    I'm gonna say my late grandmother's ziti.

    She made these awesome meatballs to go with it and some spicy sausage in a sauce that had chunks of stew beef. She'd put a blanket of mozzarell' on it and then stick it back in the oven real quick to melt the cheese on it.

    And, of course, some garlic bread to mop up the leftover sauce.

    Goddamn, that was good. My mom — who is not Italian but learned the sacred recipes — makes it and it's pretty close to what grandma used to make.

    The Food & Wine Pairing at St. Francis Winery & Vineyard in Santa Rosa, CA.


    • It is a 6 course tasting menu that they pair their wines to the courses.
    • Some of the courses have multiple wines that are paired with the food.
    • There is no limit on refills, so you can keep drinking as much as you want.
    • The servings are smaller, but it is all high end food.
    • They have an amazing view of Sonoma Valley.

    Best part of the whole thing? It's $68 for the entire meal.

    I ask my mom all the time, "ma, why can't I get my stuffing to taste like yours? It's your recipe!"... she always says "it's missing the love".

    I've watched her make it for years. I do the exact same stuff... I mean it's good but it's no 'ma's stuffin'. So, she's gotta be right. It's the love.

    Off the top of my head I'll say the Bacon Cheeseburger I had at a place called The Icehouse outside Austin. It's a total fucking dive, but the food was absolutely divine. Paired with a beautifully chilled Lone Star or three after a 14 hour work day, not having eaten since breakfast, and surrounded by my coworkers... Man that was sublime. It was probably made by some 380lb shedding dude named Ralph or something. I don't care.

    I'm sure I've eaten better food on its own, but god damn that was probably the best meal I've ever eaten. I'm going to have to think hard for something to top that.

    Oh god... where do i start

    Butcher & Singer in Philly had one of the best ribeye's i've ever had
    Cenacolo Verona, IT - Sit down meal, 7 courses, all you order is wine. Everything came out of a wood oven or the back yard. Insanely delicious/simple/fresh
    Eventide Oysters - Portland, ME - best oysters i've had in my life

    I have so many more places with "best dish" status but i'll leave this for now.

    Probably this Brazilian Steakhouse 4 or 5 years ago. I went in starving, and I kept the green rolling. So many different types of amazing meat, and all kinds of other stuff.

    Without a doubt Delmonico's in NYC. Best steak I've ever had, best sides I've ever had.

    I just saw this thread!!! You guys should download this cool app I found called Snappatizer. It's a food ranking app. It's all about the food, not the ambiance or experience. And then you can creat a stack and rank all the burgers you have had against each other or pizza, etc.
