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 incredible eating cities like Madrid, San Sebastian and Barcelona (for my honeymoon) plus stateside stops like Charleston, Las Vegas, Portland and San Francisco. Looking back, here are my 10 favorite dishes from 2014.
Numbered establishments on the map correspond to information below for easy reference.

Mattatouille, Very cool that we both got to experience Jonathon Sawyer’s pasta, and the tomato agadashi. Hopefully 2015 will be just as flavorful for both of us.
