     My all-time favorite food hands down would be Cioppino.  If I were on death row receiving my last meal, that would be it.  Cioppino is a fishermans stew with crab, shrimp, lobster, white fish, mussels, scallops, minced peppers, onion and bay leaves in a marinara type sauce.  I first discovered this piece of heaven in a casino in Reno and have since ate it at every venue that serves it which isn't many.  I finally pulled the recipe off of the internet and started making it myself with some success.  If the world were to end today cioppino would be my last meal!
