The Last Suppers - A Time Magazine Article

Imagine not having to worry about fat grams or calories, your waistline, or the expense of your next meal. Imagine that meal is your last. Morbid? Yes. A little. But the idea of a last meal is apparently something professional chefs think and talk about quite a bit.

In an article in this week's Time Magazine (October 29, 2007, pages 51-53) Joel Stein writes about the "last supper" of many well-known chefs. The article is a preview of a new book by Melanie Dunea entitled My Last Supper. Dunea shot photos of 50 chefs in a way that "summed up their choice" of a last meal.

The article is short, has some fun photos, and I recommend it as a quick read. The article also made me think about what I would want my last meal to be. Quite frankly, I don't think I could pin it down to any one meal. I would need to have a stomach stretching jinx happen to me in order to fit it all in as one last meal.

I will say there is one thing that comes to mind when I think of something I would definitely want to eat again before I die: it's a Parker from Luigi's in Bakersfield, CA. (A pastrami sandwich with plenty of garlic and other stuff.) Mmmmmmmm.
