What would me your dream meal if calories did not matter?

I had a huge running day yesterday. My biggest ever since I started distance running. Believe it or not, I was not really all that hungry by the time I got home last night. I still managed 2500 calories, but you can only stuff yourself so much. Since my net negative was so crazy extreme yesterday, I can pretty much have a meal of whatever I want today will no ill effect. If you were me, what would you want to feast on?

Homemade lemon garlic flavored fried chicken with roasted potatoes and carrots. Pineapple and vanilla ice cream for desert. Gin martini & ice tea with lots of lemon. Portions of the above more than one small bite.2

Sucks being a short girl - ran as many miles as you and I don't get nearly the same calories! Congrats on your long distance running milestone; no small feat to go that far in one day.
With that said, to answer your question, if I could eat anything for a meal, it would be an all you can eat Brazilian Steakhouse. I go 1x a month to a Rodizios and it's the highlight of my month for refueling from some major calorie deficits I can achieve at times. Highly recommend going to one! Otherwise... I second the "all the pizza" comment from another poster :-)

I almost always do wings and beer when I have major calorie burns like that.1

If it was truly a IDAF I want to eat it meal? Pizza and beer.2

@sofchak I know what you mean. I run so much that I am similarly racking up high deficits on a consistent basis. Distance running is a very calorically demanding activity. You are wise to take a day each month where you fuel the monster properly.1 -
Freshly baked bread, Cheese (a variety) and Ice Wine✨3
-
-
lets see I would have 2 foot long pizza subs, a pint of chocolate ice cream, and 6 chocolate chip cookies4

Feasting usually involves icecream....so maybe a big, sweet waffle/pancake thing with icecream, cream and lotsa toppings. And a large milkshake...

Another vote for sushi if you are going out with a few different people. It's always fun to share the experience with someone else.
If it's just you then may as well do Al's Italian Beef!!!1 -

Not that I don't love typical Chicago take out stuff like Portillo's, Al's, Max's. Harold's, etc. but I can squeeze most of that stuff in on a normal day if I have lighter options for other meals. Now something like Malnati's? I have not set foot in that place in over a year

Share? Baahahahaaa ...
Pasta with all the cream sauce I can manage to inhale; throw some rich seafood into it just to keep it interesting and cheese - lots of extra cheese. Why yes I WILL have the Parmesan! Don't forget the red wine - just leave the bottle. Dessert is coffee piled high with whipped cream, and a glorious chocolate brownie surrounded by vanilla ice cream. Ahhhhhh ...

Boneless wings with a side of mac and cheese, and tap root beer.1

A giant piece of extra cheesy lasagna with garlic bread.3

Succulent steak, pizza, Otik's spiced potatoes (I make them myself), chocolate cake with buttercream icing (also made from scratch a la moi). Diet Coke, Yellowtail Pinot Grigio, crab legs drenched in buttah, French bread with garlic cheese dip, and cinnamon rolls (both again, from scratch a la moi).2

Fried shrimp po boy on super fresh baguette with spicy creamy remoulade.
Side of avocado.
Side of pan seared scallops.
Cheesecake with strawberry rhubarb topping heaped on top.
Then maybe a good craft beer.2 -
I'm not proud of this.
Sausage Dip & Chips
1 lb breakfast sausage
2 blocks cream cheese
1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes & chiles)
Brown the sausage, melt in the cream cheese, and stir in the Rotel. Serve with Scoops tortilla chips.6 -

That is the sort of thing I'd love to have a cup of at a holiday party. And then some fudge. Gotta love potlucks for this reason! If I had a crock pot full of that I'd just eat on it for a week and be sick

See, if it was a cup of it, or over a whole week, no problem. But this, in practice, is dinner for 2.

Some stuff I can fit in but I always figured an Als sandwich was like 900 cals. And then fries and italian ice....
I work around the corner from a Malnati's and there is a box of pizza in the office at least 1 day a week. Always smells delicious too.
Let us know what you decide to do!0 -
Just take me to a Vegas style buffet with some Cheesecake Factory lemon raspberry and chocolate tuxedo for dessert.
This would also be my death row last meal request.1 -
Wow, just wow!! No food suggestions. I just can't stop looking at the mileage. Impressive . 0

So many nachos and a side of pepperoni pizza.2
