Skyfall Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 The tasting menu at per se in NYC Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2 Niiiiiiiice!
Natedog Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I have fond memories (or the lack thereof) of my time in NYC... Nothing quite like waiting along with the rest of the city at 4am after a night of drinking for some Mamouns. I spent a month in New York and ate mamouns nearly every day. My nickname by the end of the trip was falafel!
Frofro Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 A couple of meals at 'Gustos' self-service buffet restaurant in Rome, on honeymoon. Great occasion, great company, great choice, and a very pleasant surprise after being gubbed in all of the tourist trap eatouteries...
canadianbeaver Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 This is an incredible and delicious read guys!
ramon_cojones Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I'm not a huge fan of high brow dining because of its preciousness but I do eat out quite a bit and lots of casual restaurants that are very good. Best meal would be a toss up between some of my mother's cooking on special occasions, sushi at michelin star LA restaurants, and farm to table winebar type places. One of the best bites was perfectly cooked hangar steak with rocquefort butter, crispy onions with wild mushrooms and fingerling potatoes with creme fraiche all with this pinot/syrah blend red that caused me and a buddy to chew, lean back in our seats and take a deep breath it was that good. I've eaten at a few nyc places that were recommended by a food snob friend of mine that all fell short so I suppose I've been a bit spoiled. 1

TiminBC Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I eat well, too well but I do remember a chicken biryani in Yangon Myanmar last year. I was walking for 5 hours that morning including the last hour looking for this specific restaurant. Nothing too fancy but god I remember I could taste every flavor and every bite was a great taste. Ironically the plate of Biryani and sides cost $2.20
seamus Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Craftsteak in Vegas was my last one of note. Wagyu tasting menu, stellar.
Ken Gargett Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 ^ I tried the tasting menu at the L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in London (paired with wine). That was probably the best meal I've ever had (and the most expensive). i've just seen the wine list at the robuchon in china. amazing.
dafrey23 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 If you've got a few $$$ to throw down on a completely unique experience, I suggest é in Las Vegas. Impossible to get into, but amazing food. If you're in Chicago and can get a reservation I highly recommend el Ideas. Another unique experience with amazing food. And it's BYO, so you can bust out some of your cellared stuff.
Jeremy Festa Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Great thread. It really is hard to say 'best' meal or restaurant. I have several of what I would call 'food moments.' My highlights to date are:- Cabeza de Cerdo at Ortiga in Brisbane Oysters straight from a farm on Moreton Island Moreton Bay Bugs at home The Langoustine Linguini at Locanda Locatelli in London A tasting plate at Roka in London Braserade de boeuf at 1789 in Val D'Isere My wife's Yum Nua My barbecued quails And a pineapple and mango I once had after a surf up Double Island Point And so many more, but these moments are still vivid! Buon Appetito!
Ken Gargett Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Every meal I had in San Sebastian! mugaritz? others?
android Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 mugaritz? others? Ken...yes absolutely amazing, also Bar Nestor, Martin Berasategui and Ibai (total sleeper)
ogus Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Peter Luger's Caviar Russe Megu Le Cirque My go to restaurants and all delicious These are on the bucket list for sure
Rushman Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Besides my wife's cooking, hands down El Aljibe in Miramar followed by Shangri La in Cuidad Juarez Mexico. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=19.390053,-81.404450
Squali Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 23oz Porterhouse at St Emo's 14oz Blackened Filet at Peterson's ( just last Saturday night ) Both served with a huge lobster tails ! St Elmo's is known for its huge shrimp cocktail with wasabi in the cocktail sauce (wow !) Both are in Indianapolis , Indiana Hard to beat ! 1
ckearns Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Ken...yes absolutely amazing, also Bar Nestor, Martin Berasategui and Ibai (total sleeper) I recon Martin Berasategui's is the best in San Sebastian. Out of it, Mugaritz, and Arzak it was hands down the best. Still not as good as the laundry, but dam good.
Bill Hayes Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Lake House in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia - tasting menu Royal Mail in Dunkeld, Victoria, Australia - lunch, scotch fillet steak Morimoto in The Modern Hotel Honolulu - tasting menu and bottle of sake Freshly caught yellowfin tuna sashimi on live-aboard spearfishing trip to Coral Sea, Australia
prsoderberg Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 St. Elmo's in Indianapolis, Indiana. It's a classic steakhouse, but it's the company that makes it so special. My college friends get together every few years and we always meet at this restaurant. You can't beat the shrimp cocktail!!! 1
jimb2u Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 The tasting menu at per se in NYC Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2 It's a tie for me...I have had the tasting menu at Per Se several times and it is always an experience I want to repeat as soon as possible I celebrated my 50th with some generous friends at 11 Madison Park in NYC and the combination of the superb amd very imaginatve food and the company of 5 very good friends makes for a choice that's too tough to call Jim
Guest Elektrobot Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 St. Elmo's in Indianapolis, Indiana. It's a classic steakhouse, but it's the company that makes it so special. My college friends get together every few years and we always meet at this restaurant. You can't beat the shrimp cocktail!!! Wow, thats just a few blocks from my house! I live and own a business in downtown Indy. Do you guys ever go to Nicky Blaine's or the Buddha Lounge when you're here? They are two of our few remaining cigar friendly havens. I"m very lucky to have lots of great resturants close by. I just came back to the forum to post about the bone in ribeye I had last night at Webber Grill. It was top notch!
Babaloo Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I'm from NYC, so there is so many I've been to. Hands down , I would say: Peter Lugars. 1
BoomerSooner Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Had a dinner at Bobby Flays place at the Atlantis Resort in Nassua .... Excellent
