TGIF... Seriously!! I am so happy it's Friday. I wasn't feeling too great yesterday, so last night was a lazy, sweatpants, junk food night. Which brings me to my QOTD... about FOOD!!! I am a self-proclaimed foodie -- I love cooking it, eating it, watching TV about it...
1. What was the best meal you ever ate?
2. What is your go-to sick/comfort food?
3. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life for breakfast, lunch and dinner, what would it be?
1. The best meal I ever ate was the tasting menu from the restaurant Craft in Manhattan - the executive chef/owner is Tom Colicchio (he used to be one of the judges on Top Chef, the bald guy). It was a-maz-ing. And he was the chef that night which was so awesome.
2. Any time I am feeling sick, headache, or not in the mood for anything, I make a box of Velveeta shells and cheese. No idea why! Hits the spot for some reason.
3. I think I would get sick of eating anything every single day, so I am going to say bread & butter. I am a carb addict, so eating bread for every meal would probably be fine with me!

1. What was the best meal you ever ate?
The best meal I ever ate was a pulled pork and mac and cheese sandwich at the sketchiest diner I've ever been to in the middle of nowhere upstate NY... It sounded like such an odd combination, but was so delicious!!
2. What is your go-to sick/comfort food?
definitely mac and cheese- I make a delicious baked mac and cheese with cheddar, american, mozz. and pepperjack cheese with breadcrumbs on top... but any type of mac and cheese is the best comfort food. I LOVE kraft mac and cheese :)
3. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life for breakfast, lunch and dinner, what would it be?
mac and cheese for sure. (there is an obvious pattern in these three questions lolol) I just will never get sick of it. I would be 9000lbs if I ate that everyday though!

Love this question. I'm a total foodie!!!
1. Best meal I ever ate...this is REALLY hard but the most recent best meal was probably Maroni's in Northport. I just loved the fact that there was SO MUCH food.
2. My go to comfort food is definitely tacos with lots of hot sauce, or homemade buffalo chicken dip. Both have to be served with iced tea.
3. A meal I could eat every day for every meal would definitely be pasta. I actually did just that for 9 days after returning from Italy b/c I was so used to eating pasta every day.
1. What was the best meal you ever ate? Wowza... I'm gonna have to go with the beef wellington at Prime in Huntington. It pains me that we can only go once a year, if that. What's really amazing about it is that I don't like mushrooms or red meat, but put it in a puff pastry with some brie fondue and it's my favorite meal ever.
2. What is your go-to sick/comfort food? Mac and cheese!
3. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life for breakfast, lunch and dinner, what would it be? Ooooof, that's a rough one. I'll go with turkey burgers since I pretty much live off of ground turkey meat anyway!

1. What was the best meal you ever ate? Budin from Besito in Huntington/Roslyn it's my favorite thing on this planet!!!
2. What is your go-to sick/comfort food? Cheese! I could eat a whole thing of specialty cheese, it's my favorite.. For when I'm sick its bananas and soup!
3. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life for breakfast, lunch and dinner, what would it be? Tacos! As long as it comes with guacamole and cilantro!!

I am obsessed with cooking shows. I watch them all & AH! how exciting you went to his restaurant. I have been dying to go. I am actually super excited because on our honeymoon cruise Geoffrey Zakarian opened a restaurant and am dying to eat there!

It really was an amazing experience. We both are big foodies and into trying new things, so we are really going to try and make a 'hobby' (if you will) of this. About a month ago we went to Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant in the city which was also amazing. Next on my list is 'Butter' with Alex Guarashelli as the executive chef (the judge on Chopped). We have also been to Bobby Flay's place in AC and Mario Batali's place Eataly. We are also huge Anthony Bourdain fans so I would like to eat at his place too. Really love it! But I haven't been able to get back into Top Chef lately. I miss Padima & Tom Colicchio.

Re: * QOTD 8/2/13 *
1. What was the best meal you ever ate? Honestly, I think the best meal I ever ate was our tasting at Westbury Manor. The food was just so delicious, I can't think of anything else to compare it to!
2. What is your go-to sick/comfort food? My go to is ice cream! Whether I am sick or am in need of comfort, ice cream alwayyyyyyyys hits the spot.
3. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life for breakfast, lunch and dinner, what would it be? Hmm this is a toughie. I would have to say anything that is sweet. Desserts are my favorite thing in the world so I could have sweets all day everyday. A close second would be anything CARB related.

* QOTD 8/2/13 *
I couldn't even tell you the name of the restaurant where my favorite meal was, but it was when we were in Florida on Vacation, for our 1 year anniversary, We had surf and turf, the steak was tender and cooked perfectly, the Lobster delish, creamed spinach which isn't even anything fancy but it tasted like a mouth orgasm lol. It also helped that I was celebrating with my love, and a few glasses of wine in. lol
My comfort food is Pizza or Grilled cheese. MMMMN Greasy carbs and cheese all the way! I could eat cereal all day every day though. Sometimes I purposely make FH dinner that I don't like just so I can have an excuse to have coco pebbles as dinner hahahahah
