Internally reminiscing about possibly the greatest (and by that i mean largest) meal I've ever had.
For my wife's birthday a few years ago I made reservations at a Brazilian steakhouse. A very fancy all-you-can-eat restaurant in metro Detroit that serves a huge variety of meats and other dishes. The awesome part of the experience was the tableside service!
Many waiters would make their way around the dining room with every kind of grilled meat you can think of. Six different fine cuts of steak, pork, lots of different sausages, chicken, lamb, goat etc. Every diner received a little card that was red on one side and green on the other, to indicate "I've had enough" or "keep it comin!". There was also a regular self-service food bar with all kinds of accompaniments to the meats. Mashed potatoes, salad and the like, along with traditional Brazilian dishes.
Determined to get my moneys worth (it was about 75 USD per person with some drinks) I made it a point to try and eat at least one serving of each meat and I of course accepted more of my favorites. I know many of us here are familiar with traditional buffets
, but there was something so fulfilling (pun intended) about having endless food just brought to your table, it made you feel like gluttonous royalty!
There were a few times i forgot to turn my card over to red and waiters kept stopping by with more meat, I knew i was full but said what the hell and plopped some more down on my plate. I left the place being the most stuffed i have ever been and it was the only time I've ever had the meat sweats. I had to tilt my seat back a little further for the drive home just to take a little stress off my stomach
This was before the pandemic and back when I was still pretty thin. Now, with lets say an increased stomach capacity, I bet I could give that place a run for it's money!
I wanted to hear about others' most legendary restaurant meals. While still fun to hear about, a bunch of carry-out eaten at home is a little mundane.
What is the once in a lifetime meal you ate at a restaurant?
