Wow. We're full.
Today ends our second year of 100 Favorite Dishes, the one hundred day countdown to our Best of Phoenix issue where, based on the gems we know of and your suggestions, we ate our way through goodies like the gollo burro from Casa Reynoso, foie gras creme brulee from Petite Maison, and red velvet pancakes from The Herb Box -- ravenously and with no regard to order.
Hey, it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. In fact, there's so many good dishes in the Valley, we could have easily gone to 1,000. That's why we decided that we'd love to hear your suggestions for our final entry.
Check out this year's complete list and add your favorite dish after the jump.
