Tough question. But for an unexpected fabulous meal, tagliatelle tartufi in a fairly downscale tavern in Rovinj, Croatia.
My current drink of choice:
Charles Shaw Cabernet (Two Buck Chuck)
My favorite comfort food:
Pasta with Creamy Leek Sauce
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
Cafe Atlantico, Washington, DC, Sheppard Mansion, Hanover, PA, L'Express, Montreal, El Agave, San Diego, Restaurant Eve, Alexandria, VA
My most tattered cookbooks:
Colorado Collage (Junior League of Denver), the first Union Square Cafe cookbook, my own collection of recipes from the NY Times, lots of stuff from SeriousEats.com (can read it on an iPhone, so no need for tattered paper!)
