There’s something special about simple, delicious meals that we just can’t get enough of. This year, our team went on a culinary journey to find the best, most mouthwatering dishes in cities like Nashville, New York, Athens, Toronto, and more. From shredded chilly venison in London to soul-warming gumbo in Chicago, these were the meals that captured our hearts and taste buds in 2023.
Khao Man Gai at Nong’s
Portland, Oregon
When I landed in Portland, OR, the rain was coming down hard. But nothing could dampen my excitement for the khao man gai at Nong’s. This simple dish of gently poached chicken and heaping piles of rice, served with a rich dipping sauce and piping hot broth, has become an iconic Portland favorite. It was the perfect comfort food on a rainy day in the city. —Elazar Sontag, restaurant editor
Shredded Chilly Venison at Fatt Pundit
London, England
With a blend of Indian and Chinese flavors, Fatt Pundit quickly became my go-to restaurant in London. The shredded chilly venison was a standout, with its tender meat, fiery peppers, and smoky flavor. Paired with soft, sweet mantou bread, it was a meal I’ll never forget. – Gigi Wong, senior analyst
Fried Apples at Audrey
Nashville, Tennessee
Chef Sean Brock’s commitment to preserving culinary traditions was evident in every bite of the fried apples at Audrey. Cooked in foie gras fat, they practically melted in my mouth. It was a truly unforgettable dining experience.
