The Best Thing I Ever Ate-According To Someone Else

"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" is a TV show on the Food Network where their stars talk about some of the best things they've ever had (if you can't already guess). I have extensively compiled a list for all of the places/dishes in the NYC area and I'm slowly working my way through each one. So far, I have not been disappointed yet and I eagerly await the next excursion.
Here however, are some of my own favorites that have so far NOT made the list.

Akamaru Modern Noodles from Ippudo Noodle Restaurant (10th street and 4th avenue)
Crack Pie from Momofuku Milk Bar (13th street and 2nd avenue)
Steak from Peter Luger Steakhouse (Williamsburg, Brooklyn)
Pan Fried Dumplings from Lan Zhou Hand Pulled Noodles (120-something East Broadway)
Arepa's from Norma's at Le Parker Meridien (54th street and 6th avenue)
Basil and Pepperoni Pizza from Grimaldi's (Red Hook, Brooklyn)
Pumpernickel Bagel with Cream Cheese and Nova Scotia Salmon from Murray's Bagels (13th street and 6th avenue)
Bon Chon Fried Chicken from Boka (St. Mark's place)
Pastrami Sandwich on Rye from Katz' Deli (Houston and 1st avenue)
Blueberry Pancakes from Clinton Street Baking Co. (Clinton Street)
Pistachio Gelato from Arte della Gelato (7th avenue and Waverly Place)
Brussel Sprouts from Alta (10th street and 6th avenue)

What about you? What's the Best Thing you've ever eaten in New York?
