Shrimp and Grits from Hymens in downtown Charleston man.  That's easy.  Best food this side of heaven.

Filet from Jack's Grill in Redding (http://www.jacksgrillredding.com/index.html (http://www.jacksgrillredding.com/index.html)).  I've eaten steaks at every "rated" place in this country and I still haven't had a better steak than Jack's. 

If you visit the site, read the Legend.

sushi. tuna. :D

The other option would be what would you ask for your last meal? ???

Mine if I was facing the e-chair.  uncooked popcorn and oil. ;D

And just let it all pop. ;D

fitness/DIET. if you eat it, it is your diet. but you are probably right it should be somewhere else.

It's funny that I stumbled upon this post and it is now lunch time and the wheels are turning...

My pick for a birthday dinner would be a 1/2 rack of bbq babybacks, grilled shrimp, and a rib eye steak!

I think it's time for me to go to lunch........

As long as my wife serves it to me wearing nothing but a smile and a bottle of champagne, she can bring me a bowl of goat and I'll be fine.
Title: Re: birthday meal?
Post by: BaldRob on January 18, 2007, 11:08:02 AM
Hmmmmmm.... I'm going to go with a Rib-eye (rare), two lobster tails, steamed veggies, cheesey garlic mashed potatoes, and for dessert... Eli's Cheesecake!!

Mmmmmm..... getting a little hungry!!

I'd have a hard time picking a FAVORITE meal. But I'd guess I'd have to go with chicken mole (heavy of the spice & onion), beans & rice, a side of grilled veggies, and a top shelf 'rita (rocks, no salt) with a Dos Equis Amber chaser. Dessert would have to be flan with a little Tarantula Tequila on the rocks.

Other notables would include lime/ginger sirloin stir-fry (I have a great recipe), lemon grass chicken (Tyler, go to Le Cheval in downtown Oakland...crazy good), and BBQ'ed anything.

i guess mine would be a porterhouse (that i cooked, cause mine are the way i like 'em) with some of the wife's stuffed potatoes. to drink, i would have either fat tire or some breckenridge ipa. dessert..... probably mississippi mud pie.   yeah, that would work.

Sorry guys, couldn't resist the Breck reference. It was a fat pitch right over the center of the plate....had to park it in the bleachers.

Fru Fru Martinis? With the wife, I'll fru fru it up (of course, she always gets a double). If I'm flying solo on Ketel One Airways, there is only one mixer that goes with K-One and that's ice. Maybe a garlic olive & a cocktail onion if I need a little something from the veggie group. Gotta be healthy, ya know.

You seen the sodium content of Bloody Mary Mix, Rob? Might as well just pour some Vitamin V (Vodka) over a salt lick. Don't get me wrong, I love 'em, but 30% of your USRDA of sodium is in one 4 ounce serving of mix. And, I have a feeling you drink 'em like I do....4 oz. of mix means a small Bloody Mary. NO SMALL MARY'S HERE!!! Cheers!

That just sounds wrong...
Title: Re: birthday meal?
Post by: schro on January 18, 2007, 04:18:47 PM
I would agree that "Sac Town" is not a very endearing term. A lot of people like to poke fun at it by calling it "Cow Town" (mainly L.A. Laker fans). Personally, I still consider myself a Bay Area guy that now happens to live in a suburb of Sac/Cow Town (Sacramento).

Speaking of dirtiness, for my b-day I would have to cheat a little and skip the meal all together and go directly to a dessert consisting of whip cream, chocolate, and a beautifully non-clothed gal(Christina Ricci since it's my b-day). You guys can have your steak and goat :D

We have one in houston.   I've been 3 times or so.    First time I made the mistake of eating too much from the salad bar, so I didn't try as many different kinds of meat as I could have.    But yeah, if you are a meat lover, you have to try the place at least once.
