GTKY: Last Meal

becausescience

If you could choose anything from any restaurant or place, prepared by anybody, what would you choose as your last meal?  And don't forget dessert!

Or all time favorite meal would work too if last meal if too morbid for you.

becausescience

Perfectly medium filet mignon.  
My mom's mac and cheese and twice baked potatoes.  
Prosciutto and cream cheese - wrapped asparagus.
For dessert NY style cheesecake with fresh strawberries.  


Mmmm food.

I would resurrect my mother and have her make me Galumpkis! 

ShawnnaO

A really, really good Asian buffet. 

npkat

My dad's Spaghetti and mint chocolate chip ice cream!

becausescience

@Cowboycorgi I must admit I had to google that one.  Did she teach you to make them too?

@ShawnnaO Oooo that's a good choice too.  And now I want an egg roll.

@becausescience I used to live in a small town with one Chinese buffet and it was amazing. I would eat there all day every day if I could.

I now live in a big city with more Asian buffets than I can count and they're all absolute garbage. There's one that's decent but you have to get there right away or else the food tastes like metal from sitting out all day. And it's crazy expensive.

This is a really hard GTKY...mostly because a lot of my normal faves sound disgusting right now lol. If I had to choose, it would be something Italian...either eggplant parmigiana or my mom's spaghetti with a balsamic tomato mozzarella salad and the most garlicky/buttery bread.

bookishbaker

Lobster, crab rangoon, and a few desserts: a concrete mixer from Culver's, turtle cheesecake, and one of those chocolate chip cookies baked in a cast-iron skillet with ice cream on top.

I'd probably die from the meal itself.

Stuck in quote box. 

The Sands Casino in Atlantic City, NJ does not exist anymore, but when it did, it had the biggest, best buffet I had ever seen. It really was unbelievably gigantic, and didn't taste like buffet food at all. They had real chefs at each station, making stuff fresh all the time. I'd go there and eat every single thing that was not meat. I'd definitely have bananas Foster for dessert. It's my favorite dessert, but bananas upset my stomach. If I'm gonna die anyway, though, might as well.

Cowboycorgi

@becausescience, she did, but mine are never as good as hers were. Maybe it is the magic of the memory, or maybe it's because I try to make them healthier and she used ingredients like lard! Lol!

Omg, the idea of lard is so gross, but I know that it made a huge difference in my German grandma's recipes.

My mom makes a meal we call "roll steak" and it's smothered in her homemade gravy.  My favorite meal of all time.

A Polish girl! I have been craving galumpkis the last few weeks! 

kitandcat

So much bruschetta. And tortellini. Definitely with garlic bread. OMGGGG I'm drooling.

rsquaredr

Thanksgiving dinner. My grandma in laws real stuffing and my mom's mashed potatoes. 

Garlic bread and bar ranch.

Tiramisu. Ice cream. A milkshake. 

ivfgotthistwice

@Cowboycorgi my mother in law made those this weekend! 

I would have to choose my mother in laws pierogies, homemade Mac n cheese (how can you go wrong with that) and ice cream! I loooooooooooove ice cream

k318

A bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and fries, mayo ketchup and BBQ sauce, with NY style cheesecake, chocolate covered strawberries and whipped cream for dessert. And an allagash white to wash it all down..

becausescience

@Cowboycorgi I feel like most of the food my mom makes is better than when I try to make it. 

amylonghorn

Uncle Julio's Mexican restaurant. Chips and salsa and queso. Guadalajara platter with chicken fajitas and cheese stuffed bacon wrapped shrimp dipped in butter. Sopapillas and chocolate pinata for dessert. 

*drooling*

calecorvus

Oooh, a good rare steak, some eel sushi, and a little cheesecake and french silk pie for dessert. 

babybluu

I second @rsquaredr with thanksgiving dinner. I freaking LOVE thanksgiving dinner lol. 

But if I have to be original, I'd say a juicy prime rib, with mashed potatoes and brown gravy and home made macaroni and cheese. 
For dessert, a crisp. Maybe peach crisp. With vanilla bean ice cream. 

PS I gagged the entire time reading this thread and writing my response. 

mdfarmchick

My mom's lasagna and my grandmother's fresh baked sweet potato rolls ((I want them so bad now and haven't had them since she died 12 years ago)). And my great uncle's Lima beans. I don't even know what I want for dessert because it is totally unappealing right now. Ha. 

kalawa

This delicious dill and cheese dip from a local restaurant where I am from. And their shrimp caeser salad as well. It's so garlicky, and I want it NOW! And since it would be my "last" meal...strawberry cheesecake. An entire cheesecake. The strawberries would kill me faster...but oh well!

LiveNLove44

Giordano's Chicago deep dish pepperoni pizza, my mom's cheesy vegetables, and oatmeal fudge bars (try them if you haven't! https://allrecipes.com/recipe/10872/fudge-bars/). I'd probably accompany the meal with a mixed drink, vodka diet (boring? I like 'em) to take the edge off

orbmaker

A dozen or two raw Pacific oysters. Dry Rose. Eggplant caponata and fresh ricotta on freshly-baked bread, still warm. Perfectly roasted & super lemony-garlicky chicken. Broccoli rabe with red pepper flakes. Then strawberry rhubarb cobbler with vanilla ice cream.

bookishbaker

I'm so fascinated by this thread, which feels kinda morbid but I don't care! 

savedbygrace1213

Definitely some high dollar, juicy, flavorful, cooked to perfection, prime rib! Along with a roll with that honey-cinnamon butter, and some seasoned fresh roasted veggies. For dessert probably some snicker cake (which is a german chocolate cake with gooey caramel and chocolate in the center) and maybe a slice of ice cream cake from DQ!

crossfitbabybump

Crab legs... until I died. with a crap ton of butter and lemon!

Dessert? Tiramisu. Oh yeah. If I had any room for it after my crab legs.

@LiveNLove44 ooommmggggg Giordano's!!!

I grew up in the Chicago burbs and I love Giordano's deep dish!! We just moved from Columbus to Des Moines Iowa last month and no joke... two weeks before we left they opened a Giordano's in Columbus 15 minutes from my house!!!!!!! We were able to go once before we left and it was so so so amazing. 

LiveNLove44

They just opened one that isn't too far from us, but would require a day trip-type commitment, so we haven't been yet. My brother and his family live DT Chicago, so we definitely go when we can for the real deal!

megpeg

Sushi- any kind, crab legs, frizzled Brussels sprouts with bacon, pecans, and balsamic reduction, Mac and cheese, and for dessert creme brûlée.  
(Gagging while reading and writing this, ugh) 
my only redeeming grace is that DH decided to go on a cleanse last week and is not eating meat for 6 more days. DS is going to be a nine year old chef by the time this trimester is done.

@crossfitbabybump this is me too. I would just eat crab legs until I exploded. I love the boiled red potatoes and corn on the cob too. There's a restaurant in Nashville, South Street, that has the crab and slab. Sooooo amazing. I wouldn't even need a desert with that meal.

@fiddleRN79 - that sounds so NOM right now! The best crab legs I ever had was at this place in Savannah, GA called String Ray's. UGH! The butter for the crab was to die for!!! And it was fun watching shark week on the TV while we had seafood

Same thing here, even the dessert!

great, now I'm hungry lol

emineminem

A mission style burrito from my favorite taqueria in SF with my grandma's famous buckeye cookies for dessert. (We call them black balls because we dip them all the way in haha)

cford08

The entire menu at Pappadeaux. Creole seafood ftw. I'd be dead by the third entree
