Salmon Rillettes at Bouchon. An addictive combination of smoked and regular salmon with plenty of added fat for lubrication. For 2011, I resolve to make this at home.

2 Marea 95 $$$$ Italian, Seafood
240 Central Park S., Manhattan, NYListed by
Let's get this one out of the way. While it was on everyone's 2009 list, I'm just going pretend this is last year and I'm ahead of the curve. Octopus and Bone Marrow Fusilli at Marea. One of the few dishes even better than the hype.
3 Minetta Tavern 84 TastyRx $$$ French
113 MacDougal St., Manhattan, NYListed by
Cote De Boeuf. One of the best pieces of meat in my life. I am proud to say that we ate the whole thing.
4 RUB $$ BBQ
208 W. 23rd St., Manhattan, NYListed by
RUB Burger. Crusty, slightly dry-aged patty topped with Velveeta cheese, pickles, caramelized onions and chipotle aioli.
5 Engeline's $$ Asian: Southeast
58-28 Roosevelt Ave., Queens, NYListed by
Sisig. Best pork dish of the year. Filipinos-- I will never question your dedication to eating multiple pork dishes at every meal. Also, I'm a slacker for never writing it up (maybe next year).
6 Mile End $ Soup & Sandwich, Jewish, Deli
97A Hoyt St., Brooklyn, NYListed by
French Fries at Mile End. These are my dream fries. You don't even need to get the optional cheese curds and mushroom gravy to make poutine (nor does it need chopped smoked meat sprinkled on top either). Just add a little ketchup for these perfectly crisp skin-on fries.
7 Pirosmani $ Eastern European
2222 Avenue U, Manhattan, NYListed by
And the winner: Acharuli Khachapouri at Pirosmani. The first bite caused me to sit up straight (I was slumped over from the alcohol) and exclaim (to myself) "where have you been all my life?" I'm just going curl up with one of these by myself at home...
8 Golden Palace $ Chinese
140-09 Cherry Ave., Queens, NYListed by
Lamb dumplings. What's the lambiest thing I've eaten all year? These guys.
