14. once in iceland on a business trip, i was treated to an amazing 9-course meal

it was at that point the best meal of my life. most courses had little mousse vegetables or something, and the seafood was fresh caught and amazing.

the only restaurant that ever outdid that was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, i took mrs. unblock to the london, gordon ramsey's restaurant in new york city, for our 10th anniversary. it was out of this world, but so was the bill; hence, once in a lifetime....
