What is the best meal you've ever had and where?

Best Meal
Pretoria South Africa-- Ribs at Spur

A picnic lunch atop a fire tower in the Poconos with some of the best friends I had at the time. Bread, cheese and tomatos never tasted so good.

This is really tough. But I'm gonna go with steak, a loaded baked potato, a salad, and a Coke. Definitely cooked by my mom at home.

Wow, I dunno, I have had *so* many good meals in my life (I grew up in the South)! I think the one that comes to mind though is when my uncle made barbeque from his pigs...that was some of the best stuff I'd ever had, and we had all the good veggies to go with it (squash, corn, some type of casserole) and homemade lemonade. :) Thank God for Southern cookin ;)

Rather that remember a menu or a venue, I keep in mind the advice,"Better a dinner of herbs where love is...."

The best meal I've ever had is every Thanksgiving at my parent's. My dad smokes a big turkey, my mom makes all the fixings and we feast. Needless to say I am soundly sleeping within an hour after eating.

I think almost any meal with family is a good meal -- especially the summer barbeques at my sisters' houses. Entirely too much food and fun.

Pretty sure we had this question in the end of last summer but okay. At this restaurant/inn in Old Saybrook, CT ... called The Castle Inn. The steak was called Castle Inn Black Angus Special. It was this incredible slab of meat, broiled so tender and juicy with just the exact right amount of garlic and seasoning on it...and it was sitting in this blackened sauce/gravy that was out of this world. The steak, I think was Porterhouse...but it was by far the best I've ever had anywhere, anytime.

Just one meal? The most extraordinary meals I've ever had were at the two Chinese Wedding Banquets I was fortunate enough to attend. Fourteen courses, each memorable, along with enough ritual to fascinate the western observer. There was a perfectly prepared and beautifully served meal at the Four Seasons Hotel in Munich. But I'd also have to count brie and French bread eaten out of hand, accompanied by some red wine, in the cockpit of our sailboat at the end of a long day on the water with good friends, my mother's corn chowder on a cold day on the Hudson, and any number of lovingly and skillfully arranged dinners at the homes of friends.

Oh, man, I have had so many meals that I thought was the best. Every November my husband and I get up one morning at 3am and drive to a Wildlife Refuge in Delaware to see the thousands of snow geese that have stopped there. We try to arrive by about 6:30, and after a morning watching these beautiful creatures we drive to a little restaurant nearby and have a crabcake sandwich and french fries and at that time and place, THAT is the best meal I have ever had. On many April mornings, we get up at 5am to go birding in a nearby park. After a few hours we eat a peanut butter sandwich and THAT is the best meal I've ever had. But the most recent "best meal I've ever had" was at a local restaurant where we went for dinner. I had Crab Imperial, green beans, and a baked potato.  THAT was the best!

I have eaten an awful lot of meals in the last 22 years... it is hard to say. the spinach conchiglie I got at the Pasta Bowl in Chicago was excellent.  The thai salad I got at the Noodle Shop was really good too... the vegetarian burrito I got a Chipotle was excellent as well... but most of the best meals I have ever eaten have been cooked at home by my mom.

Besides my mom's chicken and noodles? Probably the fried chicken at the Ox Yoke in the Amanas.

It was a meal we cooked overselves on a tiny cottage stove. WE were on a remote island on Georgian Bay. Good food and good friends. All I remember is the excellent spareribs and falaful and salid (there's always salid).

The best meal I've ever had was at a restaurant called "Bob's Steak & Chop House". It is very upscale steak restaurant in Dallas and is frequented by many well to do people and I can see why. The meal was absolutely fabulous! The steak melts in your mouth and the service and atmosphere is impeccable. Great place!

Best meal.. Probably at Aureole, at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. It was well over $500, but worth every penny. Mostly for the company. We could have gone to Denny's, and it would still have been as special.

After a 5 day hike that was poorly planned I stopped at McD's and wolfed down about a half dozen burgers, a couple pies and a shake. Sometimes it ain't about the food.

September 6th, 2001. I was in Vermont near Montpelier. My best friend took me to A Single Pebble. If you're near there and you even remotely like Chinese food, GO. In fact, go anyway. It is to /die/ for. I would walk a thousand miles just for a plate of their dry fried green beans. Every thing on their menu is straight from heaven. I even ate the oysters and I loathe oysters, but some how they made them delicious. I could drool on about it for days. My other favorite meals have all involved my best friend as she is just a fabulous cook and anything that comes from her kitchen is going to be perfect. Ok, I'm hungry now...

The best meal would have to be this dish I made up, I kinda just put a whole bunch of stuff together and it was awesome. It was in my Kitchen. I have shared it with my whole family, they like it too.
