7. What’s the last great meal you had and why was it so great?

Over the holidays, we went to Hops, which is sort of a brewery/steakhouse chain. My folks were with us, and in fact requested the place specifically.

There are other good places to eat, but you might pick an expensive restaurant and not get anything you like — Hops is familiar and reliable in that respect. We all had good food, we enjoyed it, and it was with my parents, whom I don’t see often enough. Altogether, I’d say it was special because of the people I was with, which is probably what makes a meal good to begin with.

A very VERY close runner-up was the Christmas Dinner we had at the house on the 21st, for much the same reason.
