A nice filet mignon with blue cheese, mixed greens and fries.

2. Creme brulee ... so rich, so good!

It's recently been made illegal in Chicago, believe it or not, and is slated to be made illegal in several other U.S. cities soon, if memory serves.

Here's my jones: Chinese delivery! From a restaurant named "Szechuan Anything" or "Hunan Anything". Call 'em up and 5 minutes later the doorbell rings. They must cook it on the bicycle on the way over!

You will LOVE an imu (earth-oven) kalua (baked) pulled pig sandwich on a taro roll with cabbage and poi. Yum. I will join you for one if you get to Lahaina! And a chocolate souflee at "Roy's" in Kahana! Hawai'ians LOVE the pig!!!

Chirimoya -- near where it is grown. It is a fruit that tastes like a magnificent custard. On a trip to Peru once, I let my hosts know that chirimoya was a favorite and I ended up with it for breakfast, lunch and dinner -- plain and cooked in desserts. It was terrific. I once bought some at Dean & DeLuca's in NY and they were a pale imitation of the real thing. I had some in San Miguel de Allende in December and again they were wonderful. So, I conclude you need to buy them as local produce.

Fresh figs.

Tarte Tatin at a really good French restaurant.

I believe this fruit is also a product of South Asia known as Sharifa or Sitafal? Hindustani-English guidebooks/dictionaries give "Custard Apple" as the usual translation.

You had me at bratwurst... :)

Must be a Chicago thing; I'm originally from there. Don't forget bulk italian sausage formed into a giant slab on your Lou Malnatis pizza.
