Chimichanga chile colorado enchilada style at a place in South Tucson. I can't recall the name (if I ever knew it). Every time I go to a new SW restaurant that has chimichanga on the menu I give it a try. None has measured up.
The scallops in coconut lime sauce at Celestin's in Sacramento was pretty. Last time we ate there before it closed Patrick Celestin told me how to make it. It's hard to get really good scallops though.
The veal stew my friend Tony made when I visited him in JH. It counts as a restaurant meal because he owned a restaurant at the time (Anthony's).
It's hard to cook anything that's as good as a really ripe peach, though.

Salumi, Seattle. I had been a regular patron there and frequently spent my Friday afternoons there sharing incredible food and wine with a friend or two and the proprietor.
Prior to their rise to rock-super- stardom and Armandino Batali's (Mario's dad) departure as the day-to-day operator Salumi used to offer the opportunity to book a Saturday night dinner once a month. I was honored to attend two of these, one being a birthday celebration for yours truly. The menu was designed over meetings with Armandino. There were 14 people in attendance. Tariff was $100 a head. I chose and provided the wine.
The menu for the evening is attached. Unfortunately the only copy I can find is prior to adding all the wines, but let me assure you they were spectacular and copious in quantity. Dinner started at 6 and was over at 1am. Armandino stopped offering these events within a few months of this. Not sure if we had anything to do with that.

Wasn't it just national hot dog day? I feel like you could dedicate an entire thread to just the goodness of hot dogs and associated tube meat.
Hot Doug's in Chicago was great for gourmet/crazy hot dogs.
Happy Dog in CLE is fantastic haute white trash dogs
The various brats, metts, and wursts at Andechser am dom in Munich are memorable.I still call it The Jake.

I was totally bummed when I heard Doug had decided to shut it down. Never made sense to me since the place was mobbed every freaking day. If you're ever in Denver check out Biker Jim's in the ball park neighborhood. Or, in my hood, there's a great little hole in the wall dog shop called Harley's. Killer tube meats...

The best thing I've ever eaten
Probably have had better food before, but Pizzaria Locale in Boulder is always really really good. Diavola with their chile oil and a bundino for dessert. Crave it on a regular basis.
Duo and Root Down in Denver are also awesome places to eat. D Bar for dessert.

Sucks that Gepeto is gonna die from Prion disease, but I guess you can only eat monkey brains once.
Roti at the Fat Virgin near bitter end club on virgin gorda.
Donuts at Bunny the micro bakery in Chicago(sadly closed).
L'Ami Jean in Paris, especially this Parmesan soup they had.
Chateaubriand in Paris, magical night.
Minibar in Cafe Atlantico back about 15 years ago, when it wasn't 275 dollars. I had no idea you could do that with food.
Had a wonderful 'midwest omakase' at Arbor Project in Chicago several months ago. Was 100$ I believe for 7 courses, all were huge portions and evening lasted nearly 6 hours. If you are in Chicago, and can't get a table at one of the Alinea group spinoffs or alumni restaurants like Elizabeth, highly recommend this place. It's odd, in an office building, but one of the more unique meals I've had in the last several years.
Mamas fish house was good, but I didn't get the hype.

This is Hamachi Kama, and it's the best part of the fish. Most legit sushi joints will have it.
