If you're reading this, it means the Blogger gods are cooperating and letting me get a couple posts in while I'm exploring the wilds of Namibia. This year, there were too many favorites to just do one post so without further ado, here are my favorite restaurant eats from the past year:
Piazza by Zucca Ristorante has unfortunately closed since my visit, but their luscious panna cotta is still in my mind. It was my first panna cotta experience and the one I will compare every future panna cotta I eat to.
My meal at Feng Mao was very meat-centric. To help break through the heft, we had scallion pancakes. This simple pancakes were crispy and full of onion flavor. I recently went back and they were just as good as when I first experienced them.
Earlier this year, I moved to the east side of town and I have really enjoyed getting to know my neighborhood. Sausage places are popping up in Los Angeles faster than zits on a teenager's face and so far my favorite is Berlin Currywurst. The varying levels of heat, perfectly cooked sausages, and reasonable prices are reason to go often.
There were many great bites at LA Street Food Festival, but my favorite of the day was the oyster from Mision 19. I declared it the best oyster ever and that still remains true.
As I have mentioned many times, I am a huge fan of brunch. While ricotta hotcakes are something I would never order, I am thrilled we got them at Cecconi's. My mouth just waters at the thought of the fluffy hotcakes bursting with housemade ricotta.
One of my most epic meals this year as LudoBites 7.0. I really enjoyed most of what we had, but I am still dreaming of the epoisse risotto.Still the best risotto I have ever had.
It was really hard to pick between LudoBites 7.0 and MB Post as my favorite meal of the year, but I say MB Post wins by a hair. There was so much outstanding-ness at that dinner, it's hard to pick just one part as my favorite, but I'll give the honor to the pomegranate and melon couscous salad. It's the perfect example of how the simplest food can be the best.
It's hard to imagine I'd still be hungry after all this food, but I am. Stay tuned to find out my favorite recipes of the year!

That's a pretty epic list. You didn't eat badly by any stretch of the imagination. I love a good oyster so some sort of oyster dish would definitely have made my list as well.
