1. An appetizer:
Perfect nachos. Tex-Mex style, layered so that the toppings are on every chip. Cheese, refried beans, ground beef, guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos, and cilantro. All the flavors that were ever relevant in Tex-Mex, delivered in every bite.
2. A side:
Caprese salad. Preferably using fresh tomatoes and basil from someone's garden. So simple and refreshing.
3. An entree:
White clam pizza from Johnny's Pizzeria in Mount Vernon, NY. My favorite pizza in New York, right here. The oven is perfect, the char is perfect, the ingredients are top-notch, and everything is combined exquisitely by years of family-run operation.
4. A dessert:
Pecan pie. For nostalgic reasons, always reminds me of good times with family.
5. A beverage:
A big bottle of Unibroue's La Fin du Monde. Canadian beer, high alcohol content, tastes like driving up north to see the colors change.
