It's hard to believe 2016 is coming to a close! I feel like it was yesterday that I was making my list of my favorite dishes of 2015! This year was another year filled with incredible food and drink, in Chicago and beyond, and that's why it's always so hard to pick my favorites. I'm so fortunate to live in one of the best food cities on the planet, and thankful for all of the incredible food-related opportunities I've experienced each of the last (nearly) 7 years since I started The Ghost Guest!
In no particular order, here are the best things I ate this year:
1) Cacio Whey Pepe at Monteverde
2) Pizza with Prosciutto, Apple, and Goat Cheese Curds at Pizzeria Bianco (Phoenix, AZ)
3) Octopus, Cucumber & Peanut Salad at Duck Duck Goat
4) Burger Six at 25 Degrees
5) Dark Chocolate Covered Caramel Cheesecake at Found
6) Sausage Strata at Sociale
7) Bruschetta di Burrata at Coda di Volpe
8) Pineapple Aguachiles at Leña Brava
9) Bigeye Tuna with Cashew, Coconut & Caviar at Grace
