From his wikipedia entry...
"During the 1994 baseball strike, which began on August 12, Winfield was traded to the Cleveland Indians at the trade deadline on August 31 for a "player to be named later." The 1994 season was cancelled two weeks later, so Winfield did not play for the Indians that year and no player was ever named in exchange. To settle the trade, Cleveland and Minnesota executives went to dinner, with the Indians picking up the tab. This makes Winfield the only player in major league history to be traded for a dinner."

Bacon wrapped scallops (or similar fish dish).
Lettuce wedge with crumbled bleu cheese.
Medium rare 12 oz filet mignon (and perhaps a table shared lobster tail).
Sides of potatoes au gratin and asparagus (or comparable green).
And the house specialty for desert.
Oooh and a good scotch for after dinner.
I keep tinkering because it sounds so dam good
