That article is a good idea for a list, but it cops out too much. "Hot dog from tubby dog"? No, a gripper from Tubby Dog. "Tacos from Native Tongues"? Could you possibly be more vague telling people they have to eat Tacos at a Taco joint? No, it's carne asada tacos al carbon from Native Tongues. "Doughnuts from Jelly Modern Doughnuts"? Ok, I give up; this is no longer a "things to try" list, it's a "places to go" list.
Anyway, here are some obvious ones for me.
- Foie Gras Poutine at Brasserie
- Kale Ceasar at UNA Pizza & Wine
- Patatas Bravas at Ox & Angela
- Honey Hot Fried Chicken & Cornbread at Anju
- Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles at Model Milk (can't decide between those two)
- Cheddar Souffle at Blink
- Venetian Seafood Stew at Vero Bistro
- Foie Gras Ravioli at Divino
- Cowboy Chop at Vintage
I have another few... but I refuse. You just can't blow all the spots.
