Best meal you ate alone?

getting canceled on and upgrading yourself to a solo ribeye is honestly a win not a loss. quiet bar seat, good steak, no small talk sounds like peak main character energy to me

About 20 years ago, I was summoned for jury duty, and it wasn't cancelled the night before. So, I had to take the day off from college and go to a neighboring city for it. It was absolutely pouring rain that day, and I'm a wheelchair user who doesn't drive. I was soaked by the time I got to the courthouse, only to find that my jury duty was delayed for a couple hours. I went to a nearby Target to browse and pass some time, then went back. It was cancelled. So, I went through all that for nothing. It was lunchtime by this point, so I decided to try a nearby diner that I'd been curious to try. The waiter who served me took one look at me, left, and came back with a cup of coffee. After that morning, that was probably the best coffee I've ever had. After browsing the menu, I chose a soup and sandwich combo. I honestly don't remember what either the soup or the sandwich were, but that, along with the coffee, was exactly what I needed that day. Plus, by the time I finished and paid, the rain was nearly over.

Korean bbq all you can eat It’s dope that I get to set my phone up, watch a movie and just relax Staffs always nice too

Literally any meal lol

I was in Seattle for work and I went down to a restaurant in Pike Place Market. I had some salmon while looking over the sound and watching the ferries go back and forth. It was great just sitting there by myself having great fish and a great view.

There’s a Korean BBQ place near me and I had the best time cooking the meet in front of myself and the all you can eat made it even better

Ribeye has to be one of my fave meals I've eaten alone. I get the grass fed prime ribeye, so amazingly tender. With a side of corn I made on the stove with butter. Yum Close contender is a filet bc of how tender it is. But I love the fat from the ribeye. And thay grass fed prime can be just as tender!

i love to go out to eat alone!! there’s a pie place near me that is so cozy and does a really nice vegan pie i love it with mashed potatoes lol

I love a little French cafe. Get a glass of wine, a crispy salad, maybe a cup of soup, and dessert all to myself…lovely.

Probably not the best, but since I just made it it's fresh on my mind and in my belly. My husband and daughter are out of town, so I made myself some creamy roasted red pepper soup, but added roaster jalapeños to it because I love anything spicy. It is delicious and I can't wait to eat more

I had some wrap from I can’t believe healthy bar something joint and it had such a good dressing, I loved it so much. Flavour , textures, it was good

hmm, sat at a tiny ramen place in Tokyo at like 10pm, dead tired after walking all day. Just me, a beer, and the best tonkotsu ramen I've ever had. No phone, no distractions. Just sat there slurping noodles and zoning out. Sounds sad maybe but it was genuinely perfect.

All of them.

Burek with meat in a local bakery, I always love to come there and eat alone!

There have been so many, I can't pick a favourite. Daily travel was part of my first career, and I always loved having meals in hotel restaurants. Just me, my book, and some wine or Guiness. Good times, good times.

That's a thing??? Lol

Fresh out the oven lechon kawali with mang tomas.

lunch at the "cafeteria" of a culinary school in my city, whenever other things take me out there.   all the run-down population of that area eat there. down market and basic af, but so peaceful.  I love it.  roast beef with gravy, potatoes, vegetables.   nothing fancy.  just cafeteria tables in a wide space at the back of one of those old stone buildings with big windows, view for miles of more old buildings, then water then mountains.  

honestlyyy some of the best meals I’ve had were the ones I ate alone without planning to there’s something nice about not having to make conversation and just enjoying the food and the momentt I once ended up grabbing ramen by myself after plans fell through and it turned into one of the most relaxing nights I’d had in a while. no pressure no small talk just good foodd and a quiet break from everythingg

Once after I got a good workout in, I was craving something healthy which is not like me at all. I got a pokebowl, with mango, cucumber, seaweed, tomato, advocado, orange, tofu, rice, crispy onions and chilli mayo. The beach was close by so I ate it there on a bench while having a crispy, cold Pepsi and listening to David Bowie. It was an excellent meal as I felt very content and at peace. Also chilli mayo just hits the spot every time with rice 😋

I just had a chocolate cake :) Does that count?

A steak and fries

Pizza burger and steaks

I ordered dominos with my first paycheck ever, I guess it tasted like freedom

I had a really bad root canal done and had to be on antibiotics for a few days which meant my husband went on a camping trip just with his friends. Our roommate was gone for the weekend. So I had the house to myself and it was just my 3 cats, my bowl of locally made Alfredo sauce and ravioli, Norco and Riff Trax. Aw yeah.
