Every Monday, Food of the Week celebrates my favorite dish from the previous seven days. I live in Los Angeles and was lucky enough to travel to places like Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto), Austin, Chicago, Miami, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, and Vancouver. Along the way, I took hundreds of hopeful bites. Look back at my 10 favorite dishes from 2016.
