It was hard narrowing down my most memorable eats from 2010, but I think this list sums it up pretty accurately. I know already many of these meals/restaurants are must repeats for 2011.
Without futher adieu, I give to you my Memorable Meals of 2010 (in no particular order).
1. French Onion Soup at Little Next Door
I've searched high and low to find a French Onion Soup that tops this one. Little Next Door is one of the things I miss most about living in LA. Honorable mention goes to the French Macaroons.
Cute and lovely French Macaroons. |

4. Vegetables con Burrata at Pizzeria Ortica
I left Pizzeria Ortica with mixed emotions, but the standout was the Vegetables con Burrata.
If only their pizza could be as amazing as the appetizer? |
Greek food is the name of the game at Chicken Dijon and this place does not disappoint. Definitely best cheap eats discovery of 2010. Go there and order the Lamb Gyro.
You'll thank me later. |
Fresh San Francisco crab slathered in garlic and butter served with noodles and rice?
Stick a fork in me I'm done. |
Hands down best Mexican restaurant in Orange County. Fresh ingredients and margaritas to die for.
Look at that sizzle! |
And you musn't forget the sopapillas. It's pretty much a given you are going to order them when dining at Taco Rosa.
Chocolate sauce and honey for dipping? Are you drooling yet? |
