The best-of-the-year plaudits are starting to roll in, kicking off with Luke Tsai at the East Bay Express. He chooses ten dishes that defined 2013 in the East Bay, including two fried chickens (Sarah Kirnon's at Miss Ollie's and James Syhabout's at Box and Bells), as well as Ramen Shop's shrimp and nettle fried rice, Homestead's s'mores chocolate pudding, and a rare Chinese dish that recently made its first appearance in the area: guilin rice noodles.
