QOTD Best meal I’ve came at Corsa Cuccina at the Wynn Casino. My wife’s cousin works there and he hooked my family up with an incredible family style meal of their best apps, salads, and entrees. Their knowledgeable staff also helped by bringing us bottle after bottle of superb wine that went perfectly with the tremendous food. The grilled pizette with mushroom puree, robiola cheese, and white truffle oil was probably the highlight.

QOTD: The best meal ever? Tough one but I would say, wild mushroom soup followed by filet of beef at the Saddle River Inn.

WOW!!! Fantastic Ep!

QOTD: My wife and I ate at the kitchen table at Grant Achatz restaurant Trio in Chicago. 29 courses and 13 different wines. We drove an hour in some of the worst chicago weather to get there! It was absolute magic. In the presence of a true artist!!

At David Paul’s in Maui after my wedding in February I had my best meal ever. Many courses, many wines, a great time.

I like it that I’m never completely sure if it’s your mother or Chris Mott.
We ordered a bottle of the St. Jean; it sounded very exciting.
QOTD: Favorite meal: at the Taos Winter Wine Festival – De La Tierra in the resort El Monte Sagrado: a Robert Mondavi Wine Dinner with Soup of Duck confit and Spanish Chorizo, Paillard of Turbot, Doding of Napa Cabbage (this course impressed us most as it was served with Pinot Noir), Mustard Crusted Rack of Elk, and Raspberry and Coconut Cream Pineapple Ravioli. The Chef, Ruben
Tanuz had left the restaurant by the next year, and we still haven’t figured out where he relocated, but we are willing to follow him.

QOTD: Pork Tenderloin Churrasco, with Aji Amarillo (Peruvian chile)- Pineapple Sauce. From Bon Appetit 09/2003. WOW!! Funny, it was a red wine (I don’t remember which one, specifically) but it was the meal AND the company (family & friends)which stole the show this time. Go figure!

QOTD – Inn at Little Washington outside D.C. Ridiculous!!!

QOTD: Tasting menu with wine pairing @ Canoe, in Toronto

QOTD: A small restaurant in San Francisco (Cafe Mozart). A great cut of fillet mignon with sweet Bearnaise sause. It was easily the best dinner (food, atmosphere, etc) that I can remember.

QOTD: Also, Game-Hens with roasted potato.

Great, great show and thank goodness, the Barroux isn’t sold out yet. Just placed my order.

QOTD: Les Crayeres (Chateau Boyer) in Reims, France otherwise know as Chateau Pommery. Unbelievable dinner with the little woman. I also remember having a Chardonnay by Laurent-Perrier that I had to have and though it “did not travel” I ended up contacting the winery and they were gracious and accommodated my request.

Cheers!

P.S. Go Ravens! Beat the Cheats!

Qotd: Christmas 3 years ago we had an 8 rib standing rib roast with yorkshire pudding and plenty of wine and all the family. Awesome fun and awesome company…..the $500 bottle did pull this lurker out now back to the shadows.

QOTD – Best meal at a restaraunt: small bistro along a canal in Bruges, Belgium with the wonderful woman who is now my wife. Totally great for the setting, the experience, and the food (which was amazing). Finished with the best chocolate mousse I’ve ever tasted.

Best meal that’s home cooked (which is the overall best): Beach condo during vacation, fresh tomatoes off the vine and great mozzarella baked into a fantastic tomato tart enjoyed with my family.

QOTD: Strip Steak with grilled asparagus at a restaurant in Jackson Hole, WY. Forget the name, but it was at the Four Seasons Resort. Most amazing steak I have ever had. Wish I could remember the wine I was drinking, but it was few years ago. Oh well.

Great episode Gary, I will have to keep my eyes peeled for the St. Jean.

Gary did you get the Mp3?

QOTD>>> really tough question…I’d have to say at Knickerbockers in Manhattan. Blue Cheese Truffle oil fries and French Onion Soup, and a Brouilly.. and ofcourse many loved ones to share with..

The dry-aged porterhouse and 2004 Caymus that I had after passing the NY Bar exam. The sweet taste of success!

Without a doubt the best meal that I ever had was at Fogòn St-Julien in Paris while traveling with my then girlfriend and now wife, when we became engaged. It was a Spanish restaurant that basically served tapas and paella–we order the tapas. The menu just said that we would receive 7 (or so) tapas, without any description of what was being served. We asked what the tapas were and the waiter said “whatever the chef has prepared today.” So we left everything up to the chef which resulted in the most amazing 8 individual plates that I’ve ever had–the pork belly was my favorite.

Cheers

QOTD: When my Mom and I went to Ireland, we stayed in a really nice mannor/hotel and we had a really delicious dinner there. Breakfast was pretty eh, but dinner was fantastic. I remember there was this melon sorbet that was so creamy and rich. It was great.

Great great episode! Double great!

QOTD: My favorite meal was at my 21st birthday a couple years ago. My family and I got together at Maggiano’s Little Italy and had an amazing family style dinner of different pastas, chicken, and veal. My mother brought with a bottle of Champagne that was given to her when I was born and we popped it open and enjoyed it with my family over a lovely dinner.

QOTD – Tuff call. I’m going with this crazy chicken + potato + carrots and ranch thing that my buddy wrapped up in tin foil and cooked in a camp fire… Yep I think thats it. Sounds elementary but man it was stupid good.
