The Minty’s Best 2018 Meals
abalone in Hong Kong
Here are some of the best meals I had in 2018! I’ve divided them up by high end, casual and travel eats. There is no particular ranking within the individual categories. It’s been an amazing year of delicious food and drink. I will cherish my travel but always near and dear to me are the meals I had at home in Los Angeles.
So, when I say the meals are high end, it doesn’t always mean they’re pricey or formal. They were just exceptional in service and execution.
High End
Baroo (now closed)
I’m down to grub at these spots all the time!
Casual
Brodard (Orange County)
OC & Lau (Orange County)
Born & Raised (San Diego)
Juniper & Ivy (San Diego)
Cold Spring Tavern (Santa Barbara)
As mentioned, I had a fantastic year of travel and would go back to Hong Kong in a heart beat. I had a great time in Chicago and Chile but the best out of LA meals were almost all in Hong Kong.
Travel
Harvest (Madison)
Mrs. Pound (Hong Kong)
Empire City (Hong Kong)
Sohofama (Hong Kong)
Mak’s Noodle (Hong Kong)
Tsim Chai Kee (Hong Kong)
