I have some middle-eastern heritage, so I think my last meal would have to be a big assortment of mediterranean food made by my grandmother: stuffed grape leaves, kibbie, hummus, baba ghanoush, kabees el lift, etc. and then top it off with too much baklava for dessert.
I can't decide between the tasting menu (wine pairing included, of course) at Atelier Crenn or an In n' Out burger (double meat, no cheese, raw onion) and a strawberry milkshake. Do I go fancy or do I go guilty pleasure food? Hmm....
@Monique vdB, I guess that depends on how much time exists between finding out it's your last meal and the arrival of the Reaper. If he's already knocking then go for the burger. There is nothing worse then having to rush a meal as appealing to all the senses.
You neglected to mention Italian pastries for desert! And for that you would have to come to Boston for either Mike's Pastries or Cafe Vittoria. Now, they both have pros and cons. Mike's is not a sit down site. You grab it and stroll Hanover St. However Cafe Vittoria is a sit down and if you want to ppl watch its great too, and it is known for its 'colorful' clientel, (if ya' noo wadd-a mean...). But don't worry 'bout dat cuz I used to know some of da guys. ;))
Oh this is a hard one to answer. I would have to say a prime rib with mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and some German chocolate cake with a boulevard wheat beer. Or pizza if I was short on time, BBQ chicken pizza, with the beer still and the cake.
Roast lamb with kumara and pumpkin cooked by my mother-in-law followed by hot apple pie with cream and vanilla ice-cream (assuming the end is not long after the meal otherwise I need dairy-free ice-cream).
If I know this is my last day on earth, most probably I won't eat a thing on the day. surely it is the meal I had the day before. looking at my current meal routine it would be rice and curry. Oh god! I should change my meals
I would definitly eat a mix of cakes from my grandma - if I had to choose one I would take "Frankfurter Kranz" (Frankfurt wreath) like on this pic. That's something to die for - a lot of buttercream, biscuit dough, marmelade and caramelized almonds.
I'd start with tenderloin tamales from Reata in Fort Worth, then gorge myself on the buffalo ribeye and the chile relleno. A Billionaire Margarita to pair with my tamales and a Fort Worth Old Fashion to go with my ribeye.
I would either do a meal of my Italian favorites (buffalo mozzarella on anything, lobster pasta, and a simple gelato) or a meal at my favorite Persian restaurant in Houston its all good there... no dessert.
