That's 1 steak medallion where I come from.

1 steak medallion was my dinner last night. I had the other two for breakfast.

there's pork chop in every 16oz can of Bud Heavy

Damn.  I miss my mom's pork chops.  

Do any of you ever miss a certain dish, but don't make it yourself because you want to leave it with the memory of someone?
I have a few.  I like how just the idea of them conjures specific memories of my mom or one of my grandmas.  
I could make them.  They'd be fine.  95% of what I'm going for.  

But I don't want to touch the sun.  

I'll order those dishes in restaurants, but I won't make them myself.  I want the last pork chop made that way to be one my mom made me.  Hmmph.  Something I'm sentimental about.  Nice.

My mom made fried okra a couple times a week, I never have tried to make that myself, for one thing it makes a mess.  Her FO was delicious.

Of course, fried anything is usually pretty good if done well and fresh.

Al's is really good.

An Hors d'oeuvre.

I think there can be "best food" and "best dining experience" and "best service", etc.  Sometimes all of the above, but rarely.

Some of the most memorable dining experiences I've enjoyed were in little family operated bistros in France (one in Italy, I've only been to Italy once), and one in Athens, the old Athens.

Fantastic service, to me, is secondary if I get reasonable service and great good.  Sometimes the view can be excellent or notable.  I've probably mentioned this place before, 

Home - Bistro Le Relais

It ticks every box, for us.  In Louisville.  

How's the view?

In Louisville, that isn't a strong point for Le Relais, but it's in the old airport terminal building, so occasionally you see a light plane land.  

I've found, often, a place that advertises a view is trying to compensate for over priced food.  There is a place here atop the Westin on the 72 floor that used to rotate and had quite the view, and the food was pretty good, but last time I was there it didn't rotate, they apparently had someone get injured, somehow, and the food and service were pretty blah.  

One thing we like a lot is outdoor dining, the view might be just of a street or whatever but we watch people strolling by.  Most places near us offer it, and in winter many of them have heaters so you can still dine out when it's say 40°F.  

Renowned Cincinnati chef Jean-Robert de Cavel dies after cancer battle

This guy had some really good places in Cincy, not over priced, one was pricey but really good, they all closed but one, which is still quite good.

Le Bar à Boeuf - Bistro at Edgecliff Condos - East Walnut Hills - Cincinnati

No view, but really good food.  Not a steak place per se.

If you asked me for a really good place in Atlanta, I'd have to ask your price range.  And of course we have not dined extensively here outside the 'hood.  One place we do drive to is quite food, and quite pricey ($125 per person).
