Okay I stole the title for the food network tv show :) But what is the best thing you've ever eaten or tasted.
The first time I had lamb chops with apple sauce.
-
It's difficult for me to give a straight answer to this.
Simple things cooked well are high up my list.
My grandmother's paella.
My mother-in-law's Cheese Soufflé.
Sweet? The sabaione gelato from a local ice cream parlor.
Sometimes the place and company can bias your opinion ;) (I'll elaborate after other post their choices)

Multiple answers are fine , you don't have to choose just one, there are some tasty foods out there.
Paella has always looked good to me but I can't eat it. I've been tempted to down a couple of allergy pills and give it a go, but I'm not bravo enough.

What?! If you have to do that you can't possibly enjoy a dish. :-\

there was this girl that was allergic to shrimp but she loved to eat it, so when she would go out to dinner she would take a allergy pill before she had dinner if she ordered shrimp.

My brother has a mild iodine/shellfish allergy. He can get by with Red Lobster shrimp and just have a tight throat/cough for a while but he had some prawns at my wedding reception (don't worry, the marriage didn't take) and had a massive reaction. A couple of years ago, his in-laws had a "shrimp dinner" for Christmas. He had about 4 shrimp the had to use his epi-pen. Poor guy, loves shrimp...it just hates him.
-
The seafood linguine that was made for me this weekend must come close (I can almost still taste it). It's partly due to the chefs that have now stopped calling me "sick" and put the amount of chili into the dish that I ask for.
I almost feel Calabrian.
-
What a coincidence: I ate seafood tagliatelle two nights ago. I suspect it wasn't as spicy as yours.
-
Almond crusted tilapia from Devon seafood grill. The sauce is what does it. They call it orange buerre blanc and they serve it with fresh blueberries, strawberries and blackberries.

Mahi Mahi wrapped in parchment paper, sauteed in Macadamia nut oil along with Seafood Bisque
from John Dominis in Honolulu, closed it's doors in 2010 :(.
Beautiful place, was out over the water looking at Diamond Head, and the view definitely enhanced the
dining.
John Dominis, & the Marrakesh were my favorite places to go when I was stationed in Wahiawa many
moons ago.

It's odd how a view can improve flavour. My favourite restaurant is Le Pont de la Tour in Southark, and apart from it being a top class eatery, it overlooks Tower Bridge which is just stunning at night.

I think that the best experiences, from eating to just sitting on a rock in the middle of the boonies come when
all senses are engaged
I love going out fishing at night, walking through the woods to my favorite spot, the things you see and hear
if you know how to sit quiet are really incredible.
Often take the grandkids with me and they'll put out the folded lawn loungers and sleep while
I fish till sun comes up
Last spring we watched a doe with 2 fawns playing "tag" at waters edge, kids can hardly wait for it
to warm up enough to start going out

Also I have a dirty answer to this...

A friend of mine living in Rio de Janeiro invited me to Le Saint Honoré (a Paul Bocuse restaurant) in the 37th floor of Le Meridien hotel (now a Windsor) overlooking Copacabana. I remember an almond crusted fish with a lemon and butter sauce to die for. Probably one of the best fish I ate. Probably one of the best views I saw.

That sounds really delicious.
I don't know if I can narrow it down. I make fresh scones once a week. We had them today with two new marmalades I made:
meyer lemon with star anise and ricard
guava strawberry with meyer lemon
Wow. I'm going to make more of those later this week. I have to go get more guava first. There's hispanic markets here that carry them regularly.

They're very rare in my country but I've just came from Brazil were I ate goiabas em calda (guava in syrup). They were cooked with cinnamon and cloves. Nice.

Steak and Cheese subs from a local shop. place went under about 20 years ago after he bought a second shop in the bad part of town and kept pumping money into it from the very successful first shop. i've had a lot of steak and cheese subs, but still dream of these ones, wish i knew how how made them.

Slightly less than room-temperature water after a good work out.

Ice cold beer on any particular day after doing nothing in particular - or something particular - whatever.

i know, but lager is my poison of choice :)

just had the best chocolate crumb cake ever ! perfect ratio of cake and crumb topping. the cake was moist and the crumb topping was a little sweet and a little crunchy.
-
My daughter made me an orange and chocolate swirl cake yesterday (father's day in the UK), filled with cream and decorated with jumbo chocolate buttons and an abundance of icing of various colours.
It was so good I had it for lunch today even though is smacked my diet around the face.. twice.

Hehe, Christmas, Thanksgiving (and non-US equivalent holidays), Independence day (hasn't the UK always been independent?), Mother's/Father's Day...all get an automatic "Diet Pass".
