The Best Thing I Ever Ate

[In58men]

This is one my favorite TV shows that frequently comes on Food Network. So, just like the show what is the one meal/dessert/snack etc etc that you have ever ate. Maybe one day somebody can use this thread when out of town.

The best thing I ever ate was the New Mexican Spiced Rubbed Pork Tenderloin at Mesa Grill inside Caesars Palace. It is owned by Bobby Flay and it is hands down the best dish I've had. If you're in Vegas this is a must try.




Edit: visit Yelp.com to look for your restaurant and a picture of the dish if you're trying to find.

Best ever? That's a hard one. Depending on my mood, it'd be one of these two:

I've talked before about Momma's fried chicken. Seabell Thomas was a restaurateur in Baton Rouge, running the Silver Moon Cafe. At some point, rent on her place became too much, and she shut down. She started doing by-appointment-only catering out of her house. If the party's big enough, she'll put you up in what I think used to be her garage. If it's small, you're probably gonna eat off a folding card table in her front room. The menu is fried chicken, red beans and rice, gumbo, greens, mashed potatoes, cornbread... I can't think of everything she had. Everything is nothing short of amazing, and it's bar none the best fried chicken I've ever tasted. By far. A few years ago, she put out a cookbook. She signed me one and sent it to me in the mail. First thing I did was turned to her fried chicken recipe. And it was something like this: 8 chickens, flour, and then listed a few seasonings. But no amounts. I had another meal at her place about a year after that and asked her - "Momma... I got your recipe, but there's no amounts. Can you tell me how much, I mean roughly?" And she said, "Oh, it's just the normal amount. And love. You can't forget the love."

The second was at a restaurant in Vegas. An Italian place in the MGM called Fiamma. Best lobster gnocchi I've ever had. They also have a tomato butter that's amazing, that I haven't been able to replicate yet.

Ultimately, if I had to pick between the two, it's Momma's every time. But I've had dreams about that gnocchi.

I've eaten at a lot of expensive restaurants all over the world but the #1 and #2 best things I've ever eaten occurred at the same restaurant on the same day:

Qui in Austin, TX.

Unfortunately...
