What was your most memorable restaurant (in a good way) meal?    

Please save the "wild Cimmerian bull brisket smoked over the embers of a decadent civilization" for another thread.

When I was a kid, there was this place nearby called The Round Table (had a medieval theme) that we'd visit from time to time. I have fond memories of stuffing myself with their delicious spaghetti until I could barely walk, and I'd have to lay down in the car on the ride home. But man, was it worth it.

In recent years, one of my favorite meals had to be at the Austin Steakhouse in Las Vegas. Best steak I've ever had in my life, and I didn't have to pay a dime since I was the bachelor and my buddies covered the tab.

When I was 5 years old, my parents would sometimes take me to a local A&W, where I would get a barbequed beef sandwich. I LOVED A&W BBQ beef! When the waitress took our orders, I would sing in my childish treble "Beef on a bun with barbeque sauce!", and again when I saw the waitress approaching our table with a loaded tray. When I was eating an A&W BBQ beef sandwich accompanied by a rootbeer float, I knew that the kings of the world did not dine as fine as I did!

Nowadays my favorite eating place is a Mongolian BBQ called The Hu Hot.

Cornish hens marinated in olive and garlic. Grilled over on a fire pit in a state park. Rice and beans on the side.
Cold beer in the cooler. I was camping 15-20yrds away from a well used animal trail near a lake.
Deer were coming and going all night. My two pitbulls spent half the time barking at bear and the other half of the time begging for a piece of hen.

Wild boar sausages and mash in a Lake District pub (the name evades me) after a five mile hike. All washed down with a couple of pints of fine English ale.

Lamb stew at an Irish Pub in New Zealand. Wellington, I think.

I have some very good eateries around me now. A great smoke-pit BBQ place and a Tex-Mex-Cajun restaurant. Tempting to go to either too often.

The best meal I ever had was a chicken dish here. We went there after the Django Reinhardt festival in Samois sur Seine a few years ago. I was very conscious that I was too scruffily and grubbily dressed for such surroundings, but no one else seemed to mind. There were some acoustic guitarists spilled over from the festival performing jazz manouche on the terrace and the food was delicious. Pricy but worth it!

Brunch at The Court Of Two Sisters, New Orleans, Louisiana, on my honeymoon. Sun shower in the courtyard, jazz band in the dining room, andouille, cornbread, muffaletta, fresh omlettes, the works. Never had better since.

I enjoy going for Indian at Clay Oven over in Encino now. Goat curry, paneer, garlic naan, etc.

An Air France flight to Paris. We were on our way to Moscow. Delta canceled the flight from Buffalo to New York so we got an Air France flight out of Detroit. Bumped up to business class. Crab claws, Duck ala Orange, wine, Cognac. Fresh baguette with a cheese platter.
The French do have the finest cooking with the Italians almost neck and neck with them.

Steak. Always steak.
We have a resturant here called The Taste of Texas. Very pricy, but Crom, what steaks! I wish I had the money to eat there more.
Another time I was at a resturant in Monterrey, Mexico called El Mirador. I had the steak. No potatoes, veggies, or anything else. Just a huge steak that covered the whole plate and a couple of cold beers. Mmmm....

That's doubly impressive as it was airline food - it's been one of those cliches for years that airlines serve rubbish. MInd you. it was Air France, the French don't tolerate bad food

My gal made me a steak, but it was rare/bloody and I gave it back to her. Although she nuked it in the micro, it came back as tender as butter! On the side, some slced cucumbers with capers (how did she know I love capers?) and green beans with almonds.

If I had this in a restaurant I wouldn't have appreciated it as much.

every meal is a delight for me since I met my wife ( she is French ) as for favorite well it is hard to choose

I've had many memorable meals: rich, satisfying moussaka from the diminutive (and now defunct) Spartan Restaurant in Halifax, Nova Scotia and an East Indian chicken currie from a complete hole-in-the-wall in Waterloo, Ontario that might've been made in heaven. Last December at a little restaurant called The Beer Brothers in Regina, Saskatchewan, I enjoyed something even more memorable: a Moroccan Bison Stew that tasted like absolute mortal sin.

There are no bison in Morocco (at least, the last time I checked), but there are plenty in Saskatchewan. Based on that amazing, slightly peachy, meaty stew, I've concluded they all deserve to be eaten.
