The Top Ten Food and Restaurant Moments From 'Mad Men,' Ranked

Last night, AMC's Mad Men ended its seven-season run, resolving for viewers the fate of one Donald Draper, dapper advertising executive, sometimes con artist, eternal womanizer, and drunk dreamer. Storyline aside, it was a powerful night for many fans because of the effect Mad Men has had on popular culture in the last decade. This show single-handedly brought the gin martini back, sexualized the power lunch, and stirred nostalgia for iconic food brands like Howard Johnson's and Coca-Cola.

So to say good-bye, here they are: the ten best moments in food and drink for Don Draper, Betty Frances, Roger Sterling, Joan Harris, Peggy Olsen, and the rest of the Mad Men clan.
