In reply to the discussion: Best restaurant meal you ever had [View all]Patiod
(11,816 posts)my SO said there was no way it was going to live up how I described it, but at one point he was stamping his feet he was so happy;
close second was dim-sum brunch at David James' Primehouse in Chicago that was so good it almost made me cry;
jambalaya downstairs in the basement bar of a fancy Cajun restaurant on King St in Alexandria (not sure it's still there);
Oysters at a downstairs oyster bar in the middle of Pike Place Market in Seattle
a tapas feast with eight of my (now middle aged) sorority sisters at Bodega Santiago in Key West, and all eight said it was the best meal they had ever had in Key West, and also the best tapas;
Mushroom pizza and a spritz in Venice (the food was generally not good, but the mushroom pizza was really good - the mushrooms TASTED like mushrooms)
Yes, I live to eat. Chowhound is my 2nd favorite website (after DU). My SO correctly supposes that if I didn't have the metabolism of a hummingbird and wasn't sugar-averse, I'd weight 500 pounds.
