Do cookies count as a meal? Levain Bakery (NYC) chocolate cookies are the size of a brick, so I would say yes. The first time my future husband gave me one, I thought, "Now I understand why people commit sins of the flesh."
The first time I had a real blowout Persian feast was in Austin TX about 10 or so years ago at a buffet called Alborz. I had only ever tasted a few dishes prior. Lemmy preface with, I had an extreme hangover (we were there for friends’ wedding). Anyway, we smoked a ton of weed & I drove us to this buffet on what I think was the North side of town. It was a family Sunday extravaganza & the spread was glorious. Fresh stews, pillowy breads & jeweled rice dishes were coming out of the kitchen piping hot, kabobs grilling, pots of tea with rose & mint, so many salads. We must have spent over three hours there, in a gluttonous attempt to eat more. There were massive families enjoying the absolute bounty of fresh food & it literally changed my life forever. The next time I returned, demanding we go there again, I was devastated to learn of their closing. To this day I have not had better Ghormeh Sabzi.
Wow! A feast! This sounds incredible - I love how potent taste remains in the memory, allowing you to capture the experience so completely even many years later. Thank you.
I once went to club 33 at Disneyland and was in a group with a private room, a visit from Mickey and Pluto in formal wear. Stories by our host who was an original imagineer. The service was beyond amazing. I remember I had a tender steak with sides, and it melted in my mouth. There was a pasta station where they made your perfect pasta right then and there with all the ingredients you wanted, while you chatted with the person making it. Bar was fabulous, and the desserts were heavenly. We were there before the big remodel happened so it still had this classic feel to it. The entire experience was worth the cost. I did buy a special pin for club 33, and a pen. I don’t collect Disney pins but thought this one was special.

ABSOLUTELY THEY COUNT. I'm a cookie fanatic and yet never made the pilgrimage to Levain, must be corrected :)
You can order online!
