    I saw this show on the Food Network that has different chefs talk about their favorite meal they ever had. So, what's yours?

    Mine - a local restaurant has an ahi tuna shrimp scampi with green beans and a potato medley on the side. i had to tell myself to eat slower so i could really enjoy the taste of it.

    That show led my friend and I to a place called Serious Pie in Seattle. The mushroom and truffle "pizza" was amazing!

    Aside from that, you'd have to pry my sisters homemade huckleberry jam from my cold, dead hands!

    Man vs. Food on the travel channel led us to Matt's Bar in Minneapolis to try one of their Jucy Lucys... ahhh-mazing

    I had been there before the episode airs on the reccomendation of my best friends brother, but good lord thats a good burger.

    The best thing I ever ate, the first thing that came to mind was the prime rib at Walter Payton's Roundhouse in Aurora, IL. Perfect.

    There was a restaurant in San Diego that made the best barbecue. It was originally called Skewers and then it became Savory-Q . It wasn't the normal bbq, and I've never been able to find anything like it. It's somewhat sweet and sour and very greasy. I've tried looking for similar taste in Chinese, Hawaiian, and other restaurants to no avail. After I moved away from San Diego, I'd still go there whenever I visited family. It was a bit of an annual pilgrimage. Sometimes I'd even get a bunch, freeze it, and bring it back home with me. The restaurant survived many changes in ownership, but the latest owners changed the entire menu and recipe. I'm still very, very sad about it.

    Right now, my mind immediately goes to the BBQ pulled pork pizza my husband brought us home from We the Pizza in DC after a business trip. One of the owners, Spike, is one of our 12 year old's favorite celebrity reality chefs. (We watch lots of food shows!) So, as a treat, my husband ordered a pizza from his place to surprise her with. It made the trip home in a suitcase quit well! (He picked the pulled pork because she loves BBQ por/ribs/McRib, etc.) oh. My. Goodness, I'm not a huge fan of pork, but it was TOO DIE FOR delicious! It is the most recent "Holy Crap, that's good!" thing I've had.

    Bruschetta and a bottle of Montepulciano Vino Nobile on a terrace in Montepulciano. I think it may have been partly due to location though, lol

    One time I went out for Japanese for my birthday.

    After having some good wholesome sashimi for dinner, all I really wanted for dessert was unagi don (that's broiled eel) over fried rice.

    And I guess the chef overheard that it was my birthday, because he came up with the most incredible eel over fried rice I've ever tasted. The fried rice had egg, scallions, peas, carrots, and probably crushed up unicorns and fairies because OMG IT WAS SO GOOD. And the eel was broiled to PERFECTION. Just melt-in-your-mouth-with-flavor perfect.

    It was amazing.

    I once ate a cheese sandwich from a street vendor in Paris that was the best meal of my life. The bread was so crusty and I knew I had never had anything like the cheese growing up in a town of 1700 in rural Montana. It was the only time I have been overseas and I was in high school, so it was a formative experience. It was the best cheese sandwich ever.

    OH man...it's a push between a few different things.

    1.) Turkish Delight from "Turkish Delight" in Seattle, WA...the rosewater kind.

    2.) The Lamb Roganjosh from "Royal Taj" in Columbia, MD (Just the right amount of heat)

    3.) The huckleberry BBQ cheeseburger from the "Coeur d'Alene" in Moscow, ID (Fond memories of dating my husband and hanging with friends)

    4.) (I KNOW, 4!) The mud pie from the Lolo Creek Steakhouse in Lolo, MT

    I have had a lot of exceptional meals over the years. The best thing I have eaten in the past year would be scallops over pesto risotto at Crossroads in Rosseau, Ontario. I could have eaten 3 plates of it!

    A saltine cracker and ice chips. It was after not eating all day due to surgery. It was delicious....eye-rolling-ly so.
    There was also that dry piece of beef and piece of cheddar on a hamburger bun after I had my first son. Same deal...they didn't let me eat all day.

    The Dun Dun sauce at Mary Chung's restaurant in Central Square, Cambridge, MA. I would bathe in that stuff. It is perfection. Every time I visit, it is a required stop.

    This pastry at in Old Italian District in Philadelphia. It was the most amazing thing I ever put in my mouth EVER. I can't remember what it was called but I swear it talked to me to pick it out of hundreds of other wonderful looking pastries. It had chocolate and cream drizzled with fruit in the middle with the flakiest yummy pastry known to man!!!!!!!!


    Oh- There was an old italian lady singing in the shop. She had tons of make up on and dragon nails. I think she was about 130 years old.
