I think the best meal I've eaten at a restaurant was veal head, tongue, and brain at a 1 star place in Paris. The brain was amazing.
Also I had pasta with boar sausage at a place in Florence that was memorably good.

I went to Pok Pok in Portland tonight.
Wait time: 180 minutes for 5.
Dishes:
1) Six fresh whole natural chicken wings marinated in fish sauce and sugar, deep fried, tossed in carmalized phu quoc fish sauce and garlic and served with Vietnamese table salad.
2) Charcoal roasted natural game hen stuffed with lemongrass, garlic, pepper, cilantro served with spicy/sweet/sour and tamarind dipping sauces.
3) Boar colalr meat rubbed with garlic, coriander root, black pepper, glazed with soy and sugar, grille dover charcoal and served with chilled mustard greens and chili/lime/garlic sauce.
4) Crispy broken crepe with steamed fresh mussels, eggs, garlic, chives, bean sprouts, and Shark Sri Racha sauce.
5) Northeastern Thai hand-minced spicy charcoal roasted catfish salad with fresh galangal, mint, dry chilies, lime, and toasted rice powder.
So loving good. I think it might be the best meal I've ever had. The place was ridiculous down to earth and friendly too, considering the amount of buzz it has generated over the last few years. Bill wasn't even that bad.

The best place that I have ever eaten is the time when as a young man i visited the Mohonk Mountain House with my family. I don't remember exactly what it is that I ate, but it made a long lasting impression.

Good stuff. I love beef stew but I can't make it anymore because my wife got some sort of bug that made her throw up everywhere the same night I made a nice beef stew. So now the thought of beef stew makes her faintly queasy.

I am not eloquent enough to do justice to the meal but I got ASMR from like every dish to the point that about four courses in I started wondering if maybe I was having some sort of weird seizure or stroke instead. IT was like, okay, if you've ever listened to Thelonius Monk, sometimes he plays these chords that should be dissonant but aren't, like he's thinking about the music four dimensionally or something and he can hear a harmony that's beyond the notes, and that's what it was like, but with food, and also the way that the tastes unfolded was unreal, like each bite was being somehow organized as a sequence of tastes across my tongue and up my spine and directly into the pleasure center of my brain. ANd I lost track of time completely. i probably sound like a total douche right now

My dad and his twin brother are in town for some golf or something. I had them over for dinner tonight and overcomplicated a classic southern dinner of fried potatoes, pork chops and corn on the cob.
I soaked the babby potatoes in water while the pork chops brined for an hour in a solution of salt, sugar, and molasses w/ fresh bay leaf and cracked peppercorns. After brining, I patted dry the pork chops w/ a paper towel, dusted lightly w/ hot hungarian paprika and seasoned with fresh ground black pepper, bagged them up and dropped them into my classy sous-vide bucket for ~3 hours at 65.5C (that's medium rare, and more than enough time to pasteurize the meat):
When the pork chops were almost done I blanched the potatoes in boiling water until almost done, then set them aside to cool and steam off excess moisture for a bit. As the pork chops came out of the bucket I added some rosemary, thyme, fresh garlic and parsley in butter over medium heat until fragrant, then got the potatoes going:
While the potatoes browned I unbagged the pork chops, heated my trusty cast iron to approximately the heat of the sun over a bigass gas burner and got to work searing the pork chops, just ~30 sec on each side and a quick sear of the fat along the edge:
I didn't take any pics of boiling the corn because it's loving corn. The pork chops were perfect and pork chops safely cooked to medium rare will totally ruin well-done pork for you forever, pushing it into the no-man's-land of overcooked steak and burned toast. The potatoes were crispy and delicious and I have leftovers to fry with eggs for breakfast.

Just cooked up the roux for my Chicken Creole (technically Chicken a sauce piquant, but that just confuses people). I'm going to try and take pictures as I throw everything in the slow cooker tomorrow. Using home-grown tomatoes and peppers for the first time.
