Wow, that must have taken a while to organize! I'm hungry (actually I'm still full from last night, but lots of good looking stuff!)

Awesome compilation of your greatest bites. Thanks for putting it together. Your fans have been waiting for this list for a long time.

If there's one word for that blog post, its "pornographic", lol.

After finishing reading your post, I started to imagine how much it ran you on your wallet. A lot of dough out of your pocket to entertain all of us and we appreciate it!

If there's one thing I would like to mention from that gigantic list is "Kamatoro". Besides Urasawa, I'd imagine not that many sushi restaurants even offer it or heard of it as it's one of the best parts of the fish besides the belly. Even in Japan, most people aren't even familiar with it. When I was dining at a sushi bar in Tokyo, the chef pulled out kamatoro out of the refrigerator for me after I had selected O-toro and the other good stuff. Initially, I didn't know exactly what it was other than it tasted divine.

I just wanted to mention about how amazing Kamatoro is: http://www.sushiencyclopedia.com/blog/2007/10/14/the-secret-fatty-tuna-toro-sushi/

Kevin-
Urasawa got 10 hard to contest
Voltagio and Walt Manzke get 5 both the best at what they do.
Ludo 4 maybe you missed a couple
Benu 3 at least but definitely above French Laundry
Providence I thing you undersold Michael's food a tad should tie with M Voltagio"s and manzke's

Kevin keep up the great work, you are a one of a kind.

List is too long

H.Peter: It was meant to be. ;)

Andy: Yep, a few months, working sporadically of course.

Evan: And I've been waiting for the list for a long time, too. It had been formulating in my head for a while, so I'm glad I finally got it down on "paper."

Bartender: Yeah, as far as wallet damage goes, I'm guessing around $40,000 over the past few years has been spent on the blog. But, you have to remember that most of that would've been spent in any case. And you're spot on about kamatoro.

Ben: I was wondering if someone would actually tally up the "scores." I'm a big fan of Cimarusti's cooking, and he did get three items on the list (did you catch the panna cotta?). Keep in mind, though, that I probably haven't had as many courses from him as from some of the other chefs. ;)

V&F: I'd be curious to see your list as well, given that you've blogged about *far* more places than I have!

Marian: Nice! Which ones were you present for?

Anon: Don't remember. Haven't had one in ages.

Sarah: Thanks--you ever think of putting up a similar list?

Anon: That's what happens when you have basically the entire breadth of the world's cuisines available to you.

Great list Kevin,
What about including chocolate, antelope, bread, ice cream, pheasant, wild boar, squab, avocado, fennel, endive, broccoli, cup of coffee, next time?

Josiah: Think nothing of it!

Anon: Interesting suggestions there. For antelope/pheasant, I'm positive that I haven't had nearly enough experiences to make a decision. For avocado, see the entry for guac (not many dishes feature avocado as the star). Chocolate/bread/ice cream/squab are too numerous to list, but I did add the rest of the items.

Nikki: Haven't had a really standout lasagna yet. As for fries, maybe the crinkle cut ones that came with the amazing burger at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon.

Samson: I'm a fan of fishy fish, so I definitely enjoy saba. Unfortunately I can't think of one that really rises above the rest though.

Johanna: I'm just about the last person you want to ask about pho. ;)

Kevin, what is the best dish you ever ate? Or the top 3? How about the best restaurant (1 review)?

Tuesday, January 26, 2021 10:19:00 AM  
Blogger kevinEats said...

Oh wow, I have no idea what the best thing I've ever eaten is. There are simply too many options, though it's probably something listed on this page.

I have a similar problem with picking a best restaurant, but I will say that the most *important* meal I've had was at Alinea, since it really marked the genesis of this blog.

You kinda said the same thing on your second Alinea review. Do you ever just try and enjoy the food and not blog and take pictures? :)

Blogger kevinEats said...

Well at least I'm consistent haha. So yes, actually most of what I eat isn't photographed, but when it comes to a meal that's as important as Alinea, I feel like some sort of documentation is a must.

Poutine?

Adam, I'm not sure if there's one that necessarily stands out, but perhaps the chicken tikka version at Badmaash? However, that's definitely a nontraditional preparation.

Kevin, with some spare time I had today (too much, apparently), I took a look at the year you had each "Best Of" item. The results were interesting.

By year:
2013 - 63
2010 - 56
2011 - 39
2019 - 38
2012/14 - 37
2022 - 34
2009 - 28
2015 - 27
2018 - 25
2021/23 - 21
2008 - 16
2017/20 - 14
2016 - 4
2007 - 3

2013 seemed like your year that your palate was wowed!

I'm curious what happened in 2016. Lack of restaurant visits? Or was your palate a little jaded after all the large amounts of Best Of in 2010-2015?

It was also interesting to see a decent amount in 2020/2021 during Covid, such a challenging time for restaurants.

Am very curious why no Best Of for octopus, one of your favorites!

Sunday, September 10, 2023 1:33:00 PM  
Blogger kevinEats said...

As a fan of data and analytics myself, I commend your effort!

I actually have no idea what happened in 2016. Maybe it's because I didn't dine at too many truly high-end restaurants that year?

I'm also a bit surprised that pandemic-era takeout in 2020 resulted in so many bests as well, though by 2021, it was mostly back to on-site dining.

Perhaps it'd be instructive to divide the number of bests per year by the number of posts per year, in order to normalize for the frequency of dining out?

And as for octopus, the problem is that I can't choose a favorite--too many good ones! 🐙
