Our Year in Food: 2012

2012 was a good eating year.  We've already posted about our favorites (A's post is here and M's post is here) but here's an overview of our 2012 in food.

The first thing we ate in 2012: Steamed fresh roll with crab meat, pork sausage, cucumber, smoked tofu and tamarind reduction from Pure Thai Cookhouse, New York.


The last thing we ate in 2012:  Cedar plank salmon and green lentil salad, homecooked New Year's Eve dinner, made by A (cookbook project entry to come).


# of different restaurants we tried in 2012 (together and separate): 257. 
(This seemed like a lot to M but was not as high as A expected.)

# of cookbook projects we did in 2012: 2 (we really want to be better about this next year!).

# of Shake Shack custards reviewed: 44 (see reviews here), but less than 40 of those were tried for the first time.

Favorite overall meal of 2012:  The incomparable El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain.

The famous El Celler de Can Roca olive tree with caramelized anchovy-stuffed olives

Progress on WorldEats challenge: Still in Canada (but at least we started, even if we haven't blogged it yet).

2012 blog series that will someday be completedDreams CancunCatalunya trip (Barcelona, Girona, Amsterdam and Haarlem); Chicagoland visitsVegas mini-break.

And to close, a random selection of some of the best food we ate this year that didn't make our top 10 lists:


Hoping 2013 will be a wonderful year!
