A fun thread. Ever watch a show and think to yourself: “Damn, I’d like to be sit’n down at that dinner table!” Or share what fictional restaurants you’d like to eat at. Or fictional foods. Mine: Aunt Bee Raymond’s mom (Everybody Loves Raymond) Downton Abby. One fictional food I’d like to try is “hasperat” from Star Trek (DS9). ---

> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > I wouldn’t mind eating at [Milliways.](http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Milliways) Thank you for that. I don’t remember Mlliways in the movie but reading the description of how you pay cracked me the hell up. 😃 ---

Elzar from Futurama, just so I can get a blast from the Spice Weasel. 😃 \*BAM! \* ---

[Babbette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babette%27s_Feast). She won the lottery and spent it all to cook _one meal_. 10,000 francs in 1885 is something like $60,000 today. I absolutely have to find out what kind of meal a year’s salary can buy me. (And in 1885, that was probably more like the lifetime earnings of an average worker!) Break out the Clos de Vougeot! ---

Nero Wolfe’s chef, Fritz Brenner. Any chef capable of satisfying that man has got to be a genius. ---

Other thoughts: Frasier seemed like a pretty great cook, provided you don’t actually have to eat with him. Bob from _Bob’s Burgers_ makes amazing hamburgers despite his otherwise hapless state of affairs. Ron Swanson cooks animal products. Use ketchup. Or don’t. He doesn’t care. ---

You could eat at any famous restaurant and have any chef prepare your meal. Or, actually, I’d prefer to dine at Captain Sisko’s father’s restaurant in New Orleans. ---

Matthew McConaughey’s character from “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” That rack of lamb he made Kate Hudson for their first date looked amazing, I’d love to see a recipe for that. ---

So I’ll have to go with my third choice, the Italian/Irish restaurant run by Carroll O’Connor and Robert Loggia in “Return To Me.” I have eaten at the real restaurant where it was filmed, and always wished I could “step through” to the movie version. ---

I forgot to mention the two most appetizing animated meals ever: Ninja Turtles pizza and the Krusty Krab’s Krabby Patty. Oh yeah, and Futurama’s Popplers with a cold, refreshing Slurm to wash it down. ---
