Everybody loves a list.
Especially when it involves food. On Thursday I highlighted two of 2012's most scrumptious cocktails. This week I’ll start a run-down of the best food and drink, dynamite destinations, and dining extravaganzas that I encountered in 2012. That means Appetizing Appetizers like the crispy skinned potato chunks at Jamonera (Philadelphia). Sprinkled with coarse salt and drizzled with a bracing, wood-smoked garlic aioli, they delivered a rapid-fire volley of flavors and textures.
And Divine Desserts, like the voluptuous Chocolate Bread & Butter Pudding at The Hungry Cat (Santa Barbara) that performs magic with crusty cubes of bread, silken ganache and a bumpy brulée crust.
And Pasta dishes that'll make you weep. Case in point: Thomas McNaughton's Flour + Water (San Francisco) Raviolo Doppio of Pork & Pea.
Hungry yet?
Come back and check out the Highlights of 2012.
