The Best Meal You Ever Had .... The Great Meal Discussion
I'm going to have to think about 'best meal'. Snarf's rule #4 about 'no external circumstances' is throwing me. If it weren't for that, I'd pick the Icelandic-style hot dog I had at 1:00 AM from the famous hot dog stand near the harbor in downtown Reykjavik, eaten while being serenaded by a drunk local kid railing against "the CORPORATIONS!" in English. It made me feel like we were starring in a Wim Wenders film. Also, the hot dog was delicious.
My last meal would either be steak tartare followed by confit duck leg or a sack of 6 White Castle sliders -- 3 with cheese, 3 without -- and onion rings. Serve either with a martini, up with olives.

Hmm. I can only answer for recently. A month ago, I was in Plano, TX for work, and the CIO, SVP of IT Operations, and I went to Bob's Chop House. While they all went for steak, I saw that they had duck on the menu. It's really hard to find a good duck, so I got it, and it melted in my mouth. Absolutely delicious meal, highly recommend if you're ever in Plano. CIO said he should have gotten it from my reactions to eating it.
Will say it was enhanced by the drinks we had before going there, but it didn't take much to enhance that duck.

Best Meal: Bulgulgi Bap in Seoul. They had an entire huge spread on the table of all the great food, and you made your own wrap. So good.
2nd place goes to Ruth Chris. Petite filet. Not only was the food great, but the staff was amazing. We were there when my son was 6. We were the only people there with a kid. The waiter got down on his level and asked what he wanted like he was a real person. When my son said "chocolate milk", the waiter said they don't normally have that, but he'd see what he'd do. He took dessert chocolate and make chocolate milk with it and brought it out.
Best Burger: Strangely enough, also Korea. Uijeongbu in a tiny hole in the wall place just outside of the military base. The owner steamed the buns and made the burgers in a way that to this day are still the best I've had.
Last Meal: Probably a really good fajita

Oh, I eat them, but the thread wasn't about that. I thought the thread was about the best meal we ate.

I have tastes that don't go for the more expensive stuff I suppose. I've been all around the world, eaten at many places of great exhibit and taste, but the best places are almost always places you wouldn't imagine. (for me, at least. Eventually you realize, at least for many, that the places that cost a lot are many times selling an "experience" more than what the food is, and if you really want the food, go to the street and find out what is actually really popular among the people who live there. The more popular a place, no matter how cheap, is probably where you are going to find the food that is actually what they like more and tastes better...at least for me).
And interestingly enough, I've always come back to American Fast Food as what I would prefer as the best of the best in the US. At the top of it all (though, go back to when they used the real method of cooking them), the best fry there is are the ones from Mcdonalds (as long as you eat them fresh).

Not my experience, but I appreciate you expanding on this. Fast food is pretty awesome when I'm drunk, but I don't think my tastes should be taken seriously at that point.
