What's your favourite meal + dessert?

What's your favourite restaurant or homecooked meal? Do you always have the same thing to drink at dinner? And what's your favourite dessert?

Salt baked sea bass with a warm tomato vinaigrette + Syryah wine from France

Heres the recipe


3 cups kosher salt
5 large egg whites, lightly beaten
one 2lb sea bass, cleaned and scaled
4 garlic cloves- 3 smashed 1 minced
2 flat - leaf parsley sprigs
2 lemon slices, halved
2.5 teaspons xtra virgin olive oil
pinch of saffron threads, crumbled
1 small shallot, minced
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons chicken stock
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
a/n ground pepper


Preheat oven 425 degrees. Line baking sheet w/ parchment paper and lightly coat the paper with veg. oil or spray. In a bowl, stir the salt w/ the egg whites until evenly moistened. Set the fish on the prepared baking sheet and fill the cavity with the smashed garlic, parlsey sprigs and lemon slices. Pat the salt mixture all over the top and sides of the fish to completly cover it. Bake the fish for 25 minutes.

On a skillet, heat the oil, add saffron and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Add the shallot and minced garlic and sweat lightly carmlezing until fragrant for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and cook just until the tomatoes begin to breakdown, about 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat, carryover cook. Add the vinegar, minced parsley and season w/ pepper & kosher salt.

Using a wooden spoon, tap the salt to crack it: lift off the crust in large pieces (take your time try to think about presentation). Carefully remove the fish skin and lift the fillets from the bones. transfer to a clean hot plate and top off with tomato vinaigrette ( you want enough sauce for each bite of sea bass dont over do it). Serve right away with a premium syrah wine to accompany the flavors.


Absolutely the BEST!!! Chilean sea bass

My grandmother makes an eggplant parm that causes my family members to get into fist fights over the last piece. It melts in your mouth. Soooo good.

Home: My mother's/grandmother's pot roast with a few pieces of italian bread to dip the gravy in afterwards. I could eat that every single day of my life - of course it would be a short life.

Out: T-bone steak with either melted butter or just a ton of A1. I also like ham steak for some odd reason.

Dessert: Pecan pie ala mode w/ vanilla ice cream

Do you never indulge in "less-than-healthy" foods? I realize in order for you to have lost so much weight you needed to completely change your eating habits but when's the last time you had a piece of pie? Have you completely cut out good 'ole delicious fatty foods? Mashed potatoes, burgers, cookies, ice cream?

Just curious.

Bananas foster is a desert. Basically its vanilla ice cream topped with warm banana slices carmelized in brown sugar sauce with a bit of bourbon. Its pretty damn good if you ask me.

It was created in New Orleans at Brennans restaurant 50 years ago. New orleans being the biggest port for bananas.
