Mine was at Les Etoiles in Rome. It was a simple fettucini with truffles in a cream sauce. The restaurant itself? I hated it. It was my only experience in Rome where I was treated like a stupid, annoying, American tourist. I really wanted to walk out. My friend practically had to twist my arm to stay. But when that dish came? Oh my God, it wasn't just food. It was a revelation on just how spectacular food could be (and believe me, I'd had quite a healthy respect for it to begin with). The waiters continued to be jerks, but I no longer cared.
So, what was that one dish that just blew you away? That you could not believe was so ridiculously delicious?
