My best dinner was my first meal after I got released from prison. Just a simple Big Mac and fries. I served 35 years for elder abuse and aggravated manslaughter.

Make sure you only say nice things about the developer, last person who did not got 10 years in Leavenworth.

I call BS.
If you had any decent medical insurance, you would have been in a private ward anyway.

Ashford NHS Hospital menu below.

Dear Two Bills: I certainly didn't mean to insult you or the NHS; as I said, the care was very good and attentive, actually better than most I've experienced in the U.S. When the Wi-Fi was out one of the nurses allowed downloading data from my insurance co. to his cell phone.

Also, I thought we had good trip insurance from Berkshire Hathaway, with medical being primary rather than secondary to Medicare. It paid the hospital bill and all the associated trip expenses. As far as accommodations, maybe placement in a ward is standard procedure for people with trip insurance.

Actually, I misspoke; the hospital was not Ashford, it was Wm. Harvey Hospital, in Ashford. And I'm sorry, at that point I would have looked forward to a meal at Denny's.

Satisfaction Guaranteed!

Pick some up at Bubba's in Leesberg.
You won't be sorry!
:mmmm:

The best I’ve ever had out was at The Worthington Hotel in Fort Worth, TX. I don’t know what possessed me and my husband as this was about 35 years ago when we certainly weren’t rolling in the dough so to speak. The restaurant server told us they never have to seat a table twice in one night and I can sure see why. We had course after course, from soup to salad to fruit and best thing they had was steak, about three inches thick and done to perfection. I still think back on it and the hundred dollars we paid for it was sure worth it!

Fresh Lake Superior white fish.

Not a dinner, but just about the best thing that I have ever tasted was the porchetta at La Norceria di Iacozzilli in Trastevere, Rome.

In Charlevoix, MI, there was a restaurant that served planked Lake MI whitefish. They also had the best fish chowder ever.

Lightly dusted and sautéed Lake MI lake perch at the former Spinnaker Restaurant at the Hilton Hotel on 28th St SE in Grand Rapids, MI. Back in the '90s. The first time I ever liked fish, and it's been onward and upward from there.

With good beef, my idea of "done to perfection" is when it mom's when I cut off a chunk. Bloody good, eh wot!

Maybe a ½ lb of steamed shrimp while waiting for the crabs
