My Last Supper - Neatorama

In her book "My Last Supper," Melanie Dunea asked 50 chefs: if they could have anything for their last supper, what would they eat?

TIME has a photo gallery and excerpt of their answers. This one above is Gary Danko, owner of a San Francisco restaurant that bears his name. He said:

This final feast, to be eaten by hand like at a Roman or Greek banquet, would comprise the finest foods from around the world, including caviar, spit-roasted suckling pigs, black truffles wrapped in salt pork and a roasted Bleu Bresse chicken.

Now what would your last supper be?

An appetizer of my mom's homemade lumpia and Thai fresh rolls, followed by a main course of sushi (including Philadelphia rolls and lots of eel), with a huge Creme Brulee topped with fresh strawberries and cream for dessert.
Oh god, now I'm hungry again...

I'd go for variety. A perfectly cooked chunk of Greek chicken. A medium rare filet mignon. Pit cooked, Southern style BBQ. Biscuits, cornbread. Just one bite and moving on to the next dish until I finally fulfilled my ultimate goal and died of eating.

That guy's last meal had better be his last. Eating like that long term would likely kill you anyway!

I honestly wouldn't care what my last meal was. There are more important things in life than food.

The point of this is just to show what kind of food you enjoy most. To say that you'll have a feast with everything kind of defeats the purpose.

I actually have a "Last Meal" dinner party planned for this weekend. I thought I was so original!

I'd want to go to the best Cajun restaurant and eat Etouffee– that's the key dish. And I'd drink really good beer with it then follow it up with the best dessert on the menu.

Mambos BBQ Chicken Pizza. With beer, of course.

I'd like my last meal to be A HUMAN SOUL - mwahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!

Also this tasty chocolate pie my mom sometimes makes. And maybe a Spitfire ale.

Thank you.

@ James

No it isn't, the point is to show how you'd react to death and attempt to compensate for that fear by eating something. What are you talking about?

Chocolate!

I would have a grilled cheese.

I'd go to a good seafood restaurant and have the Captain's Platter. And then an ice cream parlor for a banana split.

I'd have the dish that my then-girlfriend-now-wife cooked for me the very first time.

A baby.

All the dishes ever made, so I'll never end my last meal.

What? That's cheating?
