I'll post these early this year. I think I asked for more authentic Chinese last year. Wish granted. I've already railed against the effusion of high priced (and low) Mexican and poke joints and ramen bars. You know what I think they say about the state of our community and culture in general. Here's hoping they all die a painful death and are replaced with something more exotic. Or at least new recipes from time tested regional fare and/or slight deviations in representative locales. How about regional cooking from "second" or "third" tier cities and towns like Xi'an or Nantes or Como or Kyoto or Ching Mai? Or "freaky" things like an unbroken noodle.
And remember that these rankings depend on price points as much as execution. It's like boxing. There are weight classes. A few received bonus points for ambiance/panache.
