With all the variety out there it is difficult to say exactly which meal was the best in 2009. Eater left it to the experts to spill on their favorites. Among the most popular were several dishes at Marea. Kate Krader of Food & Wine raved over burrata antipasti, ferrantini pasta with clams and squid and chiles. Then Jeff Zalaznick of Always Hungry loved the octopus & bone marrow fusilli, also stating “even the steak at Marea is mind blowing.”
Here the others that made the list in no particular order:
Blue Hill at Stone Barns
Per Se
Recipe
Locanda
Le Bernardin
El Bulli
Prime Meats
David Burke Townhouse
Le Bernardin
Convivio
Vinegar Hill
Bill’s
Boqueria

The dishes range from friend chicken to offal, think lamb flavor panna cotta, seafood, to foi gras terrine. Hungry yet? No doubt 2009 was a good year for food. Let’s see who makes it on the list in 2010. In the meantime, what was your favorite dish of 2009?
