What's the best thing you've ever eaten?

Asked by photographcrash (809points) August 2nd, 2009

I’ve been watching the show “the best thing I’ve ever eaten” on TV, where chefs divulge all of their favorite dishes and where to find them. It got me wondering.. what’s the BEST thing you have ever eaten?
Me, I had an almond cheesecake at a restaurant called Pazzo, located at the basketball hall of fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. Almond crust, creamy cheesecake, with crunchy almond caramel on top. I nearly died with the first bite. And with the second. Words really don’t give it justice. Can you top that?

My husband makes these fried egg rolls with meat’s and cheese. They are so very unhealthy, but so good. I’m pretty simple so some ham and mozzarella is my favorite. Ya know when you are so full but you keep eating anyway because it is just so good? Yeah, the best ever.

The other thing would have to be a trash plate from our local Nick Tahoe’s. It is a hot mess of mac salad, hashbrowns, meat sauce and your choice of meat. I personally love this with Zweigle’s white pop open hot dogs and covered in mustard and ketchup. One bite with everything on it is like heaven.

I think it might have been a meal at Le Bernardin in New York, in there early years of operation. It’s been to long for me to remember exactly what it was that I ordered (fish, of course, as that was their specialty) but I do very much remember marveling that this was a new experience, and that I had never dined in such a fashion before.

Another experience was a wonderful small restaurant in Venice, Italy, that carries the same sort of memory: Man, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about pasta before in my life.

I can’t say. There could be young children here.

After spending an entire day white water rafting and coming very close to drowning that day, we went to Pizza Hut and got a plain cheese pizza and for some reason, that was the best food I ever had in my life. It could’ve been that I was super tired and hungry, or the fact that I came close to drowning.

@chyna are you in gatlinburg right now?

No, WV. Why?

Barbagiuans. My daughter had to make these for a school project on Monaco. We used Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough (cutting the triangles roughly in half) and/or Pillsbury Pie Crusts for the outer wrap to save some time. Though the ingredients sound a tad weird, this stuff is Fab.U.Lous.

I have had crab legs and pasta with shrimp and it was so delicous

Pizza puff. It’s horribly fattening and sinfully delicious.

There is a certain fish called Permit from the Florida Tortugas, a filet of which was given to me by a former employer. I cooked it on the grill after being coated in my secret fish coating recipe. I have never tasted anything as fine as that!

I went to a wine tasting in Napa, and they were serving hors d’oeureves. There was a baked mushroom with graded cheese on a canape that was amazing.

This is hard to decide, but it would have to be some type of seafood:
-Lobster Tail I was served on my recent Carnival Cruise
-Softshell Crabs from Don Roth’s in Chicago
-Scallops wrapped in bacon that my Mom used to serve
-Alaskan King Crab from Bob Chinn’s in Chicago

I spent most of my childhood in Boston, so I’m a seafood freak (the show “Deadliest Catch” makes me hungry—fun fact: I ate some deadliest catch crab a few weeks ago)

A non-seafood contender to add to my list: These mushrooms I cooked while camping a few months ago were amazing as well.

There’s an authentic Mexican restaurant I know who makes the best burritos. And I like all kinds of burritos; burritos are my favorite food (I mean one with rice and beans in them, none of those weird ones that have nothing but meat in them). I don’t get this particular burrito all the time even if I could because I don’t want to risk getting tired of it.

Fried ice cream . . . sounds weird, but is SO delicious.

There is a Vietnamese restaurant called Saigon Star, they serve fish with lemon grass and chili, it is out of this world. I forget the Vietnamese name for it.

Actually I love most all Asian foods, they would be my favorites!

crispy duck and pancakes….or possibly ramen from a proper noodle house

noodle_poodle's avatar

though thinking about it sandwiches always taste amazing if you have had them in a backpack while out on an adventure..they are always squashed and sometimes a bit damp and yet more tasty than any less well travelled snack

-My mother’s Broccoli Casserole
-Red Lobster® biscuits
-Homemade doughnuts
-and last but not least my mother’s Pot Roast

Oh goodness I have some cooking to do now this is why I try not to respond to food questions. This happens everytime!!

@sjmc1989 you know i have never eaten lobster is it really all that?

dpworkin's avatar

Actually, lobster kind of is. Part of it is the ritual of eating it, I’m sure part of it is the drawn butter, but a heck of a lot of it is that lobster is just awfully good to eat.

filmfann's avatar

Most lobster I have had has been poorly prepared. When it is done right, it is quite good, but I prefer crab and shrimp.

dpworkin's avatar

I should have said: cook your own!

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

@noodle_poodle as long as they aren’t damp for the same reason they were damp in National Lampoon’s Summer Vacation movie.

mangeons's avatar

@augustlan Yes, those WERE good, everyone wanted more. xD

I also LOVE Cheesecake Factory’s plain cheesecake, and New York Cheesecake ice cream from Baskin Robins. //nom nom P:
