Anything that my mom or my husband makes. Or for that matter, if they made it together, I could eat with them and be a happy woman. From mom: her stewed kabocha, stuffed cabbage and oden. From my husband: his thai curries or grilled cheese sandwiches.
(I like iluvbacon's post.)
I went to school and worked in C'ville for a bit. Greenberry's for coffee is a local favorite (and their tea selection is impressive too). I agree with others about Continental Divide, Bodo's, Albemarle Baking, Bashir's and definitely a gusburger at White Spot. I recall a Blue Moon Diner close to the Downtown Mall which had good ole fashioned delicious dishes. And if you like BBQ, go to Big Jim's BBQ on route 29. It's unabashed, Nascar-loving, Virginia BBQ. Not sure if it's changed since last time I was in C'ville was about 7 years ago. But you can't go wrong if you stay in the Downtown Mall and have limited time.
No. Would like to try one of her baked goods.
Karashi - Japanese mustard. Super spicy but very good.
toss up between roasting and braising....I'd have to say braising.
Good steaming bowl of Pho - Vietnamese beef noodle soup.
Great all year round.
My inspirations are my family: my mother because she always cooked nutritious but oh so good food. My grandmother because she made traditional Japanese dishes that I will always cherish. My greataunt who has such a fantastic love of food. And my husband who made sure I was very well fed when I was in school (and still makes sure I'm well fed now).
Outdoor space. Living in Manhattan...grilling is just not possible. Which is why we're moving off the island and getting a place with a big terrace!
If I'm on my way home and I know I'll be eating alone, then a slice of NY-style pizza (plain, of course). It is one of the most satisfying, easy, quick and cheap things that you can't go wrong with. If I'm already home, then I like to do crackers, different types of cheeses (we usually have at least a Pecorino, a blue cheese, and soft cheeses in the fridge), olives, cherry tomatoes and salami slices. Cheese and crackers with a little fig jam is quite satisfying. And we always have at least 5 pints of ice cream in our freezer to finish off with. If all else fails, I'm pretty happy with steamed and salted edamame.

If I knew it was my last meal I would like to have prime rib, baked potato with sour cream, sauted vegetables and chocolate. Chocolate for sure. Having your family around will make it taste even better. Thanks for the contest.
I'd want my best friends around, and we'd eat steak. Really really good steak. Prime rib or delmonico with a red wine and beef reduction. A delicious spinach salad. Some interesting fruity dessert, like the orange cardamom roasted pineapple we had at Solo. Yum.
well, last supper would be on the beach, Cape Cod,served to us...
tacos for my son and a plethora of seafood, cooked all different ways, for my husband and myself...
with a delicious salad, and dessert of creme brulee, sundae or apple crisp for my son.
Salmon with goat's cheese and a mixed green salad.
With my daughter and wife -Porterhouse steaks, Potato salad and lemon meringue pie
My last supper would have to involve my dearest family and friends. Also, because I've been doing the low carb thing, I would have to have all of the starches, pastas, fruits, breads, and desserts possible. Lasagna... spaghetti.... brownies.... fresh baked bread with honey... potatoes.... strawberries.... yum.
I went to a special dinner where all that was served were "last meals." Mine would probably be all dessert - banana cream pie, lemon bars, chocolate eclairs and varied italian pastries.
The "meal" would be quite eclectic - but would definitely include jumbo king crab legs, a variety of very fresh oysters, a steaming bowl of Pho, a platter of buttery roasted asparagus, wild mushroom risotto, a rack of lamb. filet mignon, grilled Alaskan halibut, linguine with clam sauce, a Cobb salad, authentic tacos with guacamole, blueberry pie, lots of chocolate and of course, Champagne and Beaujolais. I'd want my Mom, sister and her hubby, my "love of my life" husband to join the celebration and my Dad would be there in spirit. And I hope I have enough time left to think of all the yummy things I've forgotten here... By the way, could the last meal please be at least a week long?
