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?

Poutine with a side of hot wings.3

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 :-)

Italy... I would eat my way through the entire country

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
