If you could have one meal cooked for you, what would it be?

It would depend on the mood a fair bit. Today, it would be brisket and burnt ends from Q 39 and smoked sausage from Jack Stack. I'd probably do blanched field fresh sweet corn, roasted green beans and properly executed french fries. If I'm feeling like an appetizer, candied bacon is probably on the list.

Desert is tough because I like it all. It's hard to beat a good chocolate cheesecake, and that would probably fit best with the meal listed above. But I can be talked into about anyone's specialty. I recently made these Rated R cookies, and hell, I could probably go for that.

Other options that I just get tremendous joy out of (I presume that's the objective here). A good fire grilled ribeye, street tacos from this one outfit, and a smothered burrito from the burrito lady in town. Depending on the mood I'm in, especially if I'm ill and feeling like hell, there is little more comforting than a smashburger with grilled onion and roasted pablano and french fries.

I've had some higher end food, and while it was definitely good, and I enjoyed it, I get more joy out of a properly executed simple hearty meal. Also, I can be talked into some stuff if it is a specialty. Like weird stuff like a really ****ing good Italian Beef sandwich - shouldn't be on anybody's last meal, but if it's a good one I'm probably down. Same with like a really excellent club sandwich or something. Food can hit in ways that little else can.

Interestingly, there is a series on a YouTube channel called Mythical Kitchen, where the guy prepares an interviewees last meal and then they have an interview while they eat. It's surprisingly good content, and some of the choices dudes make are really interesting. And some of the answers are really profound. If you're going to check it out, the best one I watched was Andrew Rae. The Gordon Ramsey one was pretty good and so was Jason Kelce.
