Chef Jamie Oliver would make a big bowl of spaghetti chased with rice pudding his last meal. Gordon Ramsey, host of Hell's Kitchen, picks roast beef. Laurent Tourondel, of BLT Steak, says he'd choose a tuna sandwich with bacon, a Krispy Kreme doughnut, and a Corona. It's a toss-up for Lydia Shire, of Boston's Locke-Ober, who would order either steak or lobster chowder.
Fifty chefs share their last-meal cravings in photographer Melanie Dunea's book My Last Supper. Dunea, who asks these culinary greats what they'd do for their last meal, also photographed her subjects in a way that sums up their choices -- Tourondel is caught red-handed reaching for a glazed doughnut and Shire poses with a giant lobster.
It's not often a topic most of us consider -- what we'd eat for our own last supper -- but apparently it's a constant discussion among chefs who chat about food late at night over drinks as they get at some essential truth about one another.
What does a hot dog say about someone? Or fried chicken, a Coke, a scrambled egg, a cheeseburger, a steak? Perhaps it says that these trendy, sophisticated kitchen types who chose these items are pretty simple when all is said and done. Aren't we all? Food isn't just about taste, after all. It's also about memories and our longings for the sensations of when we felt happiest or most loved.
So, tell us: What would be your last meal?
