What would you choose?

Strip clubbing has been made illegal by the federal Government. Underground strip clubs still exist, but the penalty for going to one is death. You cannot help yourself. You go; get caught; are tried and sentenced to death. Because of the egregious nature of your crime, you get a last "food", not a last "mean", and while you can eat as much of this one food as you like, it's the only type of food you can eat. What do you choose to eat?
Personally, I choose garlic and parmesan truffle fries at cafe Rosetti's in Winthrop MA. One night at dinner we couldn't decide on an appetizer, so Wife said why not a basket of fries. I am not a fry guy, but what the hell, I had had truffle fries at some of the better steakhouses and thought if these are that good it's a good appetizer.
A large basket appears on our table. Fries, glistening with truffle oil, dotted with fresh garlic and ribbons of super high quality parmesan cheese, striped over the fries because they use a potato peeler. The Parmesan is of such high quality that while it gets melty, it never loses structure. We dug in and my first thought was that this is the single greatest thing I have ever eaten. I realize they do the fries Belgian style, which is to par fry them, let them sit and then fry them again. This pulls the exterior away and makes it super crunchy, while leaving the interior soft and potatoey. It seems strange to go to an Italian restaurant for fries, but these make other truffle fries, including at all the big steakhouse versions, seem like fast food. I told my buddy (nicknamed fry guy) about it in May 2021. He lives 55 miles away and has been there 47 times in the last 13 months. We're going tonight.
Tell us about your food and why it just may be worth dying to have one meal of nothing but that food.....
