I will play along and comment on your discussion.
Q: Best thing you've ever eaten
A: High Roller sushi roll at Sushi Roku in Las Vegas.
It is made with lobster, asparagus, tuna, golden Osetra caviar, wagyu beef, and truffle oil.
:D
Pizza from a nearby pizza place run by a real Italian when I was a child. Blueberry pie at a nearby cafeteria. Candy out of a candy dish on the coffee table at my grandmother's house when I was a child. I liked whatever she put in there except something called horehound drops. Those were awful.
The "coffee and donuts" dessert I had at Gavin Newsom's favorite restaurant, The French Laundry
Nutella French toast at the diner down the road from where I used to live
Calamari with balsamic glaze and hot peppers at Cassarino's in Providence (great conclusion to an afternoon at Desire)
Kona coffee rubbed NY strip at Capital Grille
Frank Pepe's New Haven style pizza, preferably meatball ricotta
Mole chicken with a spicy margarita at Temazcal
Freshly made pizza from a local pizza shop.
Freshly caught fish and lobster grilled on a Caribbean beach resort.

WTF Tetra Ape?
Nutella is the devil’s spread. Did you know that the innermost circle of hell is a giant frozen plain of Nutella. The worst sinners are embedded in said plain with Satan himself in the center. Just eating Nutella isn’t going to consign you to the inner circle or anything, but it is frickin’ disgusting.
Oh yeah…to answer the original question. Best food I ever ate rhymes with schmildebeest. You got a problem with that you damn dirty apes? ROAR!!!
I don’t need any of that fancy stuff.
A good burger grilled in your backyard Garden fresh cucumbers pickled in vinegar and sugar Homemade lasagna prepared the way I like it - I don’t care for most “authentic” Italian restaurants. Sauce too bland, no flavor
^ Have you tried freshly killed wildebeest? It’s like frickin’ ambrosia. ROAR!!!

I think its tge simple things or what evokes memories. Like when I was a kid we had a family friend who grew his own potatoes. I've never found another potato as good. Or home smoked ham and chicken.
"WTF Tetra Ape?" No wonder there aren't any famous lion gourmands.
My next door neighbor's "burnt chicken" - made on a charcoal grill, tender and juicy inside, slathered with his own homemade bbq sauce and burnt to a crisp outside.
Pizza from "The Old Judge" which was a bar attached to a small bowling alley in South Hackensack NJ. My uncle Ed was such a fixture there, they let me sit at the bar and drink beer with him when I was 12.
The "Cavitini" at the Russian Tea Room media.2oceansvibe.com This is a top notch cocktail. One is never enough.
Honorable mention beverage: "Morton's State Street Manhattan". Like a regular Manhattan, but with a chunk of steak on a cocktail pick and a Luxardo cherry. facebook.com

Anything at all from Chelsea Central. One time I had fucking meatloaf there and it was like God himself had prepared it. This was a little hole-in-the-wall on 10th Ave where Bruce Willis worked as a bartender before his acting career took off, and it was owned by Treat Williams and some other semi-famous actor. And while it's long-gone, it was known as a place where several top NYC chefs got their start. It was almost like the CBGB's of restaurants. And no, when I used to go there it was after Bruce got his breakout role in Moonlighting, so I never saw him. ny.eater.com
