The Best Thing I Ever Ate
I love this show and I was thinking that we should do our own version of it. It's chefs talking about the best _________ they ever ate. They describe it and tell you where they ate it. They always chose a theme. Tonight's episode is The Best Wrapped Food I Ever Ate... So what is yours?
Mine: Butternut Squash Ravioli at Filippo's in Oakland/Rockridge. It's delicate but rustic and the sage and brown butter sauce on top is so good.
Runner up: Chile Verde Burrito at Tio Alberto's in Isla Vista, CA. Got me hooked on chile verde!

Ooh good post!
I'd say the chips (fries) I bought from a street vendor and doused with vinegar while studying in London. Of course the experience may have had something to do with it, but man, those were good.

The Obama Roll at Genki Japanese Restaurant in Berkeley. Everytime J and I go there, I HAVE to order it.
not sure if this qualifies as 'wrapped' but the crabcakes at Connelly's at InnerHarbor in Baltimore are to die for. before we left the east coast, my parents took us kids there JUST so we could have them before we left.
A salmon dish prepared 3 ways (smoked over pinapple, chilled in a salad of some sort, and something else) prepared bya private chef at a winery in Paso. It was literally to die...it was some kind of special salmon and the chef was someone's private chef that used limited salt, butter and sugar...the meal was melt in my mouth amazingness.
The funny part-I didn't even like seafood! But it was a private dinner, the chef was so excited he got to use this salmon and I wasn't about to say no! I'm glad I did...I've enjoyed trying fish ever since!
