theprofessor Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 You're able to have one, last meal, in your hometown (1 hour radius) Money is not an issue Where do you go and what do you have? I'll start .......... Metropolitan Grill, Seattle App: Dungeness King Crab Cakes Wine: 2006 Beringer Sbragia Chardonnay Entree: 16 oz. Prime NY Strip Accompaniment: Asparagus w/ bernaise sauce Dessert: 5-layer Carrot Cake or Bananas Foster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) If it were my last meal? A Sunday afternoon, in my home, with all my family. Potluck. Now one single meal at a restaurant? In Saint Louis, it's Niche, hands down, IMHO. Edited May 9, 2009 by cre8tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I've been to the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. Good stuff. For me, it'd be a pepperoni pizza. Probably Chicago thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 If it had to be at a restaurant, maybe just go to Salt Grass Steakhouse for a 16 oz. ribeye with bluecheese butter. Either that or Lombardi's pizza in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm cheating here because it's actually an hour and 15 minutes from my door, but for me it's The Blue Claw crab restaurant in Burlington, NJ. The $40 (it was $32 back when I used to eat there frequently) All You Can Eat dungeness and snow feast is my favorite meal in the world. And the owner, Norm, is a hell of a nice guy.

Big John Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Might be the Salt Lick BBQ outside Austin, TX. And taking a supersonic jet to get there in under an hour? And no real good places within an hour from here for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) And taking a supersonic jet to get there in under an hour? And no real good places within an hour from here for me. In that case, probably the Ruth's Chris in Minneapolis. ETA: Or Fogo de Chao where I would die of protein poisoning.

Take off the wine and dessert and that was what I ate. Nothing in Tucson really jumps out at me, but I would go to my favorite butcher shop and have him cut me a 1 lb Filet Mignon and I'd be headed for the grill...... Did that once, best freaking steak I have ever had.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 If it was an hour from my house it would probably be Smith and Wollensky's in Chicago for a massive porterhouse. If it WASNT within an hour, it would be with my buddy Tory McPhail at Commander's Palace in New Orleans and his tasting menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrograde assault Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'd just have one of my buddy's pull his pit into my backyard and go for bar-b-que and cold beer. Can't think of anything better than that for a last meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
