Post a picture of the best thing you've ever tasted.

Pic related. Wagyu beef sushi. Was $15 for two pieces, but it was the most insane tasting thing ever.

You didn't have this then. Even cold it's not gristly and weird. They lightly warm it up with a torch to melt the fat into the meat, and then put some goldy sea salt on top.

Yes I've had that to. They get it there with airplane, just like how they get it to Seattle where I get it. Was only $14 though at the best place in the city. Was previously my #1 choice for best tasting food until the Wagyu beef sushi I had. Pic related.

This is the best thing I have ever tasted.

Foie gras parfait, peppered madeira helly, smoked duck, apricot and almond crumble.

10/10 dish. Took me to a place in flavour town I never knew existed.

That looks like way too complicated a flavor profile for me to ever love it. All the best things I've ever eaten have been top tier ingredients as fresh as possible prepared in pretty simple, conventional ways.

Flavor profiles that complex always seemed to me like an acquired taste from foodies and critics who eat at 5 star restaurants several times a week. The way some people develop tastes for delicacies like that japanese fish that is left rotting in a box for like 3 years or really aged scotch that is just unbearable to the average guy.

Its essentially just pate and chutney. And the flavours are hardly unconventional combinations.

why not just...idk order it rare?
I have to cook my wagyu medium-rare, otherwise too much of the fat is unrendered and I have to bite into uncomfortably large chunks. the thing about the crazy fat marbling is that even if you were dumb enough to cook it to medium well, the sheer liquid fat content would keep it fucking juicy.

it's really hard for me to place one thing as the best ever. good yakiniku is always awesome but the flavor isn't shockingly better than most things I've eaten. and while I'm crazy about fresh raw salmon, it doesn't push the envelop towards best.

mostly I enjoy "soul food" from various countries, so it's hard to say there's any one mind-blowing flavor I've ever tasted.

There is a sichuan restaurant I go to that has this crispy spicy belt fish cold appetizer. It might be the best thing I've ever tasted

Yo, I went there once.

I got the softshell crab, the chirashi, the otoro. The girl I was dating then got the chicken teriyaki and the California roll. Everything was excellent, but the otoro and chirashi were exceptional.
