Standout Plates, Plate by Plate
Best Dish Award
Every so often a single plate steals the entire evening. The Best Dish Award is where The Culinary Duo recognizes the individual dishes that stand apart from everything else on the menu. A restaurant does not need to be flawless from start to finish to earn this honour. It only needs to send out one dish that truly impresses us. We look for exceptional flavor, thoughtful preparation, and the kind of memorability that keeps a dish in mind long after the meal is over. Browse the directory to discover the standout plates and the kitchens behind them.
