Wow! What a whirlwind of a year?! Plenty to catch you up on, as it seems I never took the time to sit and write in 2011 – so I thought, why not pick 10 things that happened and rank them accordingly? Play a fun little game of catch up!?…I don't blame you if you skim through the whole thing…it's a doozy!
Here you have it:
"My Top 10 Favorite Moments of 2011"
#10: Isaac Marion; Seattle-based Author of "Warm Bodies" aka …a little something different.
Over this past year I've worked on a handful of assignments for an iPad publication called, The Daily, they've sent me on some great adventures, but this one was pretty unique from what I've grown accustomed to shoot. Strictly a portrait session, I was assigned to capture author, Isaac Marion and the RV that he called home – it was a fun/interesting/enlightening change of pace. I'm sure it helped that Isaac was an easygoing gentleman and Baleen* (his RV) was a bad-ass homestead; making the shoot remarkably painless. You should check out his book, "Warm Bodies", which has impressively been made into a film (coming to theaters summer of 2012).
{*Note: the link attached to Baleen is a really silly video that I helped Isaac make about his blue whale of a home. – updated note – he no longer resides in Baleen.}
#9: Doe Bay Fest; music, nature…aka Seattle migrates to an island.
I was able to take a little time off this summer, and brought my camera along, of course. Two of those adventures are included in my Top 10 list because they brought inspiration in ways that can only be found when 'playing'. Making #9 is the 4th annual music festival at the Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island – the music festival to forever ruin all other music festival experiences. Combine a line-up of brilliant local musicians, a Pacific Northwest summer on the most beautiful San Juan Island (in my humble opinion), and a crowd of 1000 Seattle artists (musicians, photographers, writers…baristas)…you get a community setting that is nearly too good to be a reality. Camping, bonfires, music floating into the air during the wee hours of the morning, beautiful vegetarian meals at the resort's cafe, a community vegetable garden, and everyone taking the time to smile and say 'hello'…it was beautiful. From start to finish it was a long weekend to cherish – even while we waited for the ferry to take us home, Sam Anderson (the cellist from Hey Marseilles) played Bach on his cello, the notes wafting into the sea as only a few of us sat close enough to listen. There must be some way that I can live in a world like that always…
Kelli Schaefer & friends finish out her outstanding set.
#8: Local Faire; mini adventures…aka seeing my city in new ways.
The Sitting Room :: Monorail & EMP
It tends to go without saying that you often overlook the things that surround you on a daily basis, so it was an interesting challenge to play the role of 'Seattle tourist' on a number of occasions this year. I'm still baffled by the number of ferry rides that I've taken in the last 12 months!? (silly, but true.)
Recently I heard the line "it's like having a key to the city" and that is exactly what having a camera/assignment is like. I felt honored to be given the key so many times in 2011.
Sitka & Spruce + Calf & Kid cheese class
#7: Port Townsend; mini escape…aka the first time I seriously considered buying a house.
I have no interest in settling down anytime soon, but Port Townsend is tempting – has been for a while now. I took a weekend trip there with my dear friend, Stephanie, and we found that we have a mutual daydream to one day move to this quiet little town by the bay. Upon arriving we were greeted by a busking bluegrass band alongside people dancing on the sidewalk to their music, we sat down to a happy hour of wine and freshly shucked oysters harvested that morning, took in the local coffee shops, attended a jazz festival, visited their lovely co-op, and of course strolled the beautiful coastline. We spotted a few homes for sale while we were driving around and tried to reason with ourselves why buying a house right now would not be a good idea.
#6: An Incredible Feast; Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance…aka 'hanging out with the cool kids'
I was asked to photograph the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance's annual event/fundraiser this year – which meant I got to hang out with all the cool kids in the Seattle food community. Farmers, fisherman, chefs, and those that dedicate their time/energy to the local bounty that makes up our neighborhood markets – it was a fun night, a delicious meal, and a group of people who I'm honored to be acquainted with.
Each table was represented by a farm and a celebrity chef that would incorporate the local faire onto the tasting plates.
For the first time the event was held at Swanson's Nursery – it was pretty much perfect.
#5: Macarons; Lilli-Pilli…aka the pretty little treats return.
Of all the macarons that I've experienced since I've been home from Paris, Rhiannon Devine's have made me the most homesick for my little apartment in the 20th arr. She takes great care in her technique, and I absolutely love how she experiments with flavors and color. They are the perfect little treat! I met her while working at the Bellevue Farmers Market, and was in awe of her dedication to keeping her ingredients seasonal, local, fair trade, and as best she can – organic. I was thrilled when she asked me to come into her kitchen and document her process, we even had the chance to re-vamp her website – www.lilli-pilli.com. At just a year old, Lilli-Pilli has a bright future up ahead. I'm so excited to see what 2012 has in store for her and her magnificent little treats!
#4: Covers; Edible Seattle and then some…aka surreal moments in the grocery store and people recognizing me on airplanes.
This wasn't my first image to make it on a cover of a magazine, but something about this instance was slightly more significant than others. Perhaps it was because it was being presented among my Seattle peers, or maybe it was because I had no clue I was shooting for the cover…true story. Or perhaps it was my run in at the grocery store that made this cover experience so strangely unique? It's not everyday that when I buy a magazine with my groceries the gal ringing me up stops, looks at the magazine cover, and says "Isn't this cover just so great!? My co-workers and I have just been going crazy over how beautiful it is!"…at which point I awkwardly laugh and say, "oh wow, really? I shot that. Thanks!?". This then proceeded into a moment I didn't think you could experience as a food photographer – her announcing to everyone around her that I took the photo, trying to find her co-worker that she said, "would love to meet you", announcing that she was 'star-struck'…fumbling…it was a moment. It was a good moment. A moment that you never expect to happen, and a feeling that once it's over you know you need to tuck it into your 'once in a lifetime' pocket.
Right up there with the feature I contributed to Delta Sky Magazine on the San Juan Islands. I have had spreads before, but never one that included a contributor photo and info section at the beginning of the magazine. Nothing is more surreal than having a passing acquaintance approach me and say 'Hey! I was on a plane coming back from China and I saw your picture and realized – wait!? I know that girl!?'
#3: Farms; Farms, Farms, Farms…aka FARMS! Yay!
It's no secret my love of farms, especially cheese farms. Having worked with Culture Magazine for so many years, I feel like I'm almost obligated to say that?! Joking aside, I do find myself at a lot of farms that produce cheese, to the point where my friends call me the 'cheese photographer'. I'm okay with that. This year, I've managed to visit a handful of farms (cheese or no cheese), and it truly is a pleasure to meet the farm crew, roll in the dirt with the animals, and take in the richness of life that encompasses the farmland. The photos you see here are of Yarmuth Farm, a goat farm in Darrington, Washington. Owned by Louise Yarmuth and her husband, they (with the help of a dedicated farm staff) raise, milk, and produce a delectable selection of cheeses that are sold in shops like, the Calf and Kid in Melrose Market. I went up to visit Yarmuth Farm with Sheri LeVigne, the owner of Calf and Kid, while working on her 2012 Cheese Calendar. (Yeah…this is why I'm called the 'cheese photographer'). We had a grand time taking a tour of the farm, seeing the up-coming cheese experiments in the cellar, and getting chewed on by goats.
#2: The Willows Inn; Chef Blaine Wetzel…aka best culinary team around? (quite possibly)
A bit of a 'sneak peek' here (Thank you, Franz for the permission to share!) – I just recently finished a Seattle feature for the industry magazine, Art Culinaire, (due to come out this February) that literally had me pinching myself, I couldn't believe the beauty of the experience. There's plenty to be said about the 3 chefs that I had the honor to photograph, all were a pleasure to work with, all made beautiful and delicious dishes…but Chef Blaine Wetzel and his crew at The Willows Inn on Lummi Island stood out. Never had I witnessed so many ingredients being foraged to make the meals at a restaurant. The team would head out with baskets under their arms making a trip to the beach or to the rose garden to gather what they needed for prep that evening. Humble to a fault, Blaine and his team are some of the most easy-going, down to earth guys I've ever worked alongside. With the inside jokes, weekly culinary experiments, and a mutual respect all around, it made me want to move in and find my niche within the crew (I can wash dishes with the best of 'em!). At the end of the shoot, Blaine made a point to invite us out for an oyster bake on the beach – moon hanging low in the sky, bon fire at our feet, stories being passed across the flames, and the Willows Inn culinary team making a meal out of a six-pack of beer and 120 oysters paired with tequila sauce…Everyone's day should end like that.
#1: The San Juan Islands; Delta Sky Magazine…aka the beginning of something great.
When coming up with this list there was no doubt in my mind what was going to be #1. Back in May, I went on a 3-day/3-night adventure island hopping the San Juans, 'capturing the magic' for Delta Sky Magazine…welcome to this little photographer's dream come true. I was given the liberty to scout what I thought best described the feeling of the Islands, and was given access to some of the top destinations on Orcas and San Juan Island. (thanks, camera.) I got to tromp through farms, chase orca whales, hang with a harbor seal named 'Popey', say 'hello' to a camel and a herd of llamas, comb through a low tide with a young family, photograph and eat amazing food, and stay at two of the most distinctly charming Inns on the Islands (Turtleback Farm Inn on Orcas and The Island Inn 123 West on San Juan). If there was any one thing that I could be assigned to do for the rest of my photo career…this would be it. Send me out to 'find the magic.'
It has been a tremendous year! Thanks to all who contributed to my many adventures in 2011 – without you, my camera and I are pretty insignificant.
And if you have read this far, well then, you're probably related to me. (Much love.)
Cheers to a new and highly anticipated year – 2012!
Take care,

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Coming up this evening at 9, Piers Morgan welcomes Chelsea Clinton for an honest and entertaining series of interviews that touch upon everything from politics and foreign affairs to her family's feisty game nights.
"We generally are a card playing family," says the women who spent the breadth of her teenage years living in the White House. "We play Pinochle, Spades, Hearts, all the variants of Rummy."
Admitting that individually, Chelsea and both her parents – former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – are all "deeply competitive," the 33-year-old notes that the Clinton competitions yield results that are of "pretty equal distribution," with each of the former first family winning roughly 33 percent of the card games played. However, when the genre switches, each Clinton has their own strength:
"My mother is very good in Scrabble," she tells Morgan. "In Boggle, my father is probably better."
In typical fashion, the host presses for more:
"Your dad is the best Boggler in the Clinton family," he asks, seeking supreme clarification.
Chelsea humors him:
"Probably the best Boggler," she reveals. "My mom is probably the best Scrabbler."
As for the woman who studied at both Oxford University and Stanford University?
"I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers."
On the edge of his seat with every intimate detail, the "Piers Morgan Live" hosts remains fascinated:
"Interesting. I could talk about this for hours," he declares.
Watch the above clip for more of specifics from the Clinton family game nights, and for the entire interview with Chelsea Clinton, watch CNN at 9.

Hi Mr. Morgan. I always watch your show and I love President Clinton.That was a great show and his daughter Chelsea is such a beautiful, intelligent young woman with poise and class. I always watched Larry King but you do a great job Hon. Hugs.

For more than a decade now, photographer Lauren Greenfield has been chronicling the ugly side of beauty, the gritty part of fame, and more destitution of easy money. With the release on July 20 of her latest project, the documentary The Queen of Versailles, Greenfield is adding another layer, perhaps the richest yet, about the downside of the American Dream.
It stars Jackie and David Siegel, billionaires whose empire was built with the money from a vacation-time-share business and who took wealth and materialism to an extreme on par—as the documentary's title suggests—with Louis XVI. When Greenfield met the Siegels in 2007, they were proudly building the largest home in America—a 90,000-square-foot mega-mansion in Orlando inspired by the chateau in Ile-de-France as well as the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. David's company had just built its biggest time-share opportunity yet, also in Vegas, where he could boast about having the biggest and brightest sign on the Strip.
But it all came to a screeching halt with the crash of 2008.
"It starts with these people in this outsized life, but by the end of the movie, they come down to earth even though their proportions are different," Greenfield said. "This is really an allegory about the consequences of getting too big and borrowing too much money."
The Siegels are just one colorful chapter in the story of consumerism that has fascinated Greenfield. She chronicled the devastating impact of the economic crisis on working-class families in 2008 when she took a tour of foreclosure cities in the Inland Empire in Southern California. She trained her camera's eye on the formerly quaint cul-de-sacs, now ghost towns, where lava-rock waterfalls ran dry and pools had turned green, soccer trophies lay scattered about and mortgage papers fluttered around empty rooms. It was as if the people who lived there had been sucked into a spaceship and disappeared without a proper goodbye.
"It was the American nightmare," said Greenfield. "The trauma was revealing itself."
Known for her intensely personal work, Greenfield was able to insert herself into the Siegels' lives for three years. Fortunately for her, their 26,000-square-foot Florida "starter mansion" was large enough that she and her crew could almost blend into the gilded furniture.
"We became part of the fabric," she said. "There were so many non-family members in that house that our presence was not a surprise."
But even better, Greenfield was still given full access when the crash took David Siegel's empire to the brink. And so while she is empathetic, Greenfield's eye does not blink. She shows us the nitty gritty—from accumulated dog poop on the mansion's floors because the maids had been fired to Jackie's desperate attempts to stay young and attractive by getting painful injections, peels, and showing off her surgically enhanced cleavage while wandering around her massive home in a silk bathrobe.
The Siegels have reacted differently to the film. While Jackie attended the premiere at Sundance and held Greenfield's hand as the film played, David sued Greenfield and others involved with the film, alleging defamation. Attempts to reach the Siegels were not successful.
But Greenfield is unperturbed by the suit. After years of chronicling people in extremes—kids and media in Fast Forward, anorexic girls in Thin, and victims of fashion in Beauty Culture—Greenfield is in her element among people close to the edge.
"I like people and getting into their lives and seeing what makes them tick," she said.
She went to Crossroads, a very expensive, alternative high school in Santa Monica, Calif., where she saw that influence of wealth and materialism firsthand. But she was raised in Venice communes by academic parents when it was still Dogtown—full of skaters, hippies, artists, and druggies. Many of her high-school friends were not allowed to visit her at night.
After graduating from Harvard, Greenfield entered the world of photography with one eye on anthropology and sociology. She learned through an internship at National Geographic that pictures can indeed tell a story. But as she hiked deep in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico, on her first assignment, she struggled to understand and get access to the Mayan Indians of the village—they believed that a camera can take a person's soul.
And that was when she had an epiphany: Why not photograph her own tribe? She could not take a person's soul but her camera could capture it.
"I was an outsider, but I was also very vulnerable to it," she said. "I cared about being popular and what other kids cared about. Fast Forward was not about L.A. but about how you grow up quickly in a media-saturated culture. In L.A. it is really more on the surface, but kids see the values in our society more clearly."
While she is captivated by money and fashion's influence on people, Greenfield, 46, seems strikingly unlike her subjects. She wears little makeup, her hair is worn naturally kinky, and on this day she wears a simple white T-shirt and a jean skirt. She and her husband Frank Evers met at Harvard as undergrads and have made a life together, with their two children, through Greenfield's documentaries and photojournalism. Evers also founded Institute, an agency that represents photographers and artists. She and Evers have lived in their remodeled Venice house a few blocks from the beach since 1997.
Her work covers the walls of her airy and cluttered Venice studio. A disturbing image from Thin, of a girl with an emaciated body and an outsize balloonlike head, pops out of a black frame. A supporting staff of three work busily on their computers or answer the phone.
Works from photographers who inspired her, such as Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, hang in their living room and dining room.
Like those photographers, famous for their street verité style, Greenfield has spent her career capturing moments that say so much about a specific time and culture—bright red lips getting a shot of collagen or a 3-year-old girl in a tutu lounging on a couch at the opening of a Barney's in Beverly Hills.
Her next project, scheduled for release next spring, is called Wealth: The Influence of Affluence, a collection of her work that examines the connection between consumerism and the American Dream and the role of the media and marketing in exporting it globally. For more than a decade, she traveled all over the world to capture the immense power of American consumerism in countries such as China, Dubai, and Ireland.
So while Jackie and David Siegel on the surface seem to be an anomaly, an example of America's 1 percent, they are symbols of something universal.
"The Queen of Versailles, in this one family's story, brought together all of the themes I had been working on for a long time," said Greenfield. "I was looking for moments and stories that reveal the bigger culture we live in. I wanted to show our values as Americans—both the virtues and the flaws…The economic crisis also turned a lot of my work into a kind of a morality tale."

Porter expects players to adhere to conduct code
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- When manager Bo Porter addressed the pitchers and catchers on the field prior to Wednesday's workout, he could be overheard raising his voice and telling his team their actions were "disrespectful."
Porter was asked about the incident following the workout, and he said it stemmed from the daily 9 a.m. ET meeting, which he calls a "synergistic chemistry lab" for the players. Roger Clemens, special assistant to the general manager, was visiting camp to speak to the club, and not all the players were ready.
"Obviously, as an organization, we're fortunate to have some people like Roger Clemens and Craig Biggio and different people that will come in here over the course of the year and speak to our ballclub," Porter said. "Even that being said, we have the 9 o'clock meeting when it comes to the synergistic chemistry lab.
"That being said, out of respect to your teammates, out of respect to the people that take time out of their day to come out there and try to do everything they can to help this organization, it's the right thing to do to make sure you're dressed and ready and attentive when that person shows up or when it's time for a team meeting."
Porter appointed a handful of veterans to lead a closed-door players-only team meeting each day at 9 a.m. He's not in the meetings, but he walked Clemens into the clubhouse and didn't like what he saw from some players.
"From a respect standpoint, you should give them that respect," he said.
Pitcher Brett Oberholtzer said Porter brings the passion every day.
"As a manager, you have to be that way I feel like," he said. "With a younger ballclub in the Major Leagues, it works."

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Shabazz Napier hit a jumper from the free throw line as time expired to keep No. 12 Connecticut undefeated with a 65-64 victory over No. 15 Florida on Monday night.
Napier, limping on a left ankle he hurt during a four-point play with 33 seconds left, escaped a trap around 30 feet from the basket and got off a wild shot that missed but was tipped blindly back by DeAndre Daniels. Napier grabbed the ball and let go a left-handed jumper that went through as the horn sounded and set off a deafening cheer from the sellout crowd of 10,167 at Gampel Pavilion.
Napier finished with 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting including making 5 of 8 from 3-point range.
The Huskies (8-0) and Florida (6-2), which had a five-game winning streak snapped, battled down the stretch exchanging the lead six times in the final 6 minutes.
Daniels had 14 points for Connecticut, which was outrebounded 34-26, but was able to make up a size difference with its strong guard play on the perimeter. This was Connecticut's first game this season against a ranked opponent. Florida's previous loss was in its only game against a ranked team, Wisconsin.
Casey Prather had 19 points and seven rebounds for the Gators, while Patric Young had 17 points and seven rebounds. Scottie Wilbekin, playing in his third game of the season after being suspended for the first four, had 15 points but he injured an ankle with 3:01 to play, was taken to the locker room and never returned.
No. 17 IOWA STATE 99, AUBURN 70
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Dustin Hogue set career highs with 22 points and 16 rebounds, and 17th-ranked Iowa State pounded Auburn for its sixth straight win.
Melvin Ejim added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Cyclones (6-0), who are the Big 12's last unbeaten team.
Iowa State used a 27-5 run midway through the first half to build a 15-point lead. It jumped ahead by as much as 60-33 early in the second half in cruising to its fourth win by at least 29 points.
Chris Denson had 27 points for Auburn (4-2), which shot 35.5 percent and got beat on the boards 47-36.

The Search for America's Best Tacos: West Coast Contenders
Every year in March, basketball madness sweeps the U.S. as the NCAA championship tournament unfolds. And once again this year, we at Serious Eats helped put together Every Day with Rachael Ray's annual food bracket.
Last year it was hot dogs. The year before that, pizza. This year, the magazine asked us to focus on tacos so the editors here combed the country in search of our favorites.
Traveling all over this great nation of ours to taquerias, taco trucks, carnicerias, and anywhere else serving up a serious taco, we narrowed down the list to 64 contenders across the country. After much discussion, quite a few intense roadtrips, and a little indigestion, we arrived at our Final Four picks. We'll reveal those on Friday and in the meantime, each day this week, we'll share all of our regional picks.
The Bracket Methodology
The national list includes 64 contenders divided by region: West, South, Midwest, and East. Within each region we picked our top 16 taco contenders (ta-contenders?) which we then narrowed down to four winners from each region to enter the Sweet 16.
The regions were split up into mostly obvious clusters of states, though some gerrymandering needed to occur to make sure the division of taco awesomeness was a little more fair for each region. For example, we included Arizona and New Mexico in the South, as there were just too many great taquerias in the West to lump them together. Hey, it's not easy creating a March Madness-style bracket for all the tacos in this darn country!
Taco Criteria
For the purposes of this search, we didn't discriminate based on style of taco. A $9 taco from a famous chef competed side-by-side with a $1 taco from a roadside truck. That said, there are a few things every taco should have in common, and those are the criteria by which we judged.
- The Tortillas (15 points): Just like a great sandwich must start with great bread, you can't make a good taco without a good tortilla. Soft corn tortillas should be warmed through completely with just a hint of spotty char on its surface. It should be soft and pliant, not stale or brittle. Flour tortillas should be warm and steamy, with just a hint of stretch and chew. Other types of shells, like deep fried corn shells or puffy taco shells will be judged on their own individual merits.
- The Filling(s) (20 points): Whatever the choice of filling, it should be moist and flavorful, well salted, and either tender enough or chopped finely enough that you can bite into a taco without dragging half a cow out from between the folded tortilla. Obviously, the meat should taste fresh and relatively gristle-free. Fattiness is generally a good thing here. What we're reallly looking for is flavor.
- The Toppings (10 points): Here the judgment well depend on the style. A good Mexican style taco needs nothing more than chopped onions and cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and an intense but not overpowering salsa. For other styles of tacos, we'll ask ourselves, do the toppings work well with the fillings? Is everything bright, fresh and flavorful?
- Integrity (10 points): There's nothing worse than a taco that splits apart and falls onto your plate (or worse, your lap) halfway through. Are the tortillas robust enough to stand up to a juicy filling? Are the tortillas double stacked when necessary?
- The TTE (Total Taco Experience, 20 points): This one is tough to define. It's about how the whole thing shakes down. Does the setting, the service, the food all come together to give you an experience that's more than the sum of its parts? Here's where our own discretion really comes into play. A great taco served in an airport lounge ain't going to taste as delicious as the exact same taco served on a paper plate on a beautiful day served out the side of a truck eaten at a highway-side picnic table. A perfect fish taco served on the ocean in San Diego is better than a perfect fish taco served in a cocktail bar in New York. This synergistic effect must be taken into account.
Favorite Tacos in the West
West coast tacos show a staggering amount of variety. Though corn tortillas reign supreme, fillings range from traditional grilled and braised meats, to the deep-fried fish tacos of the Southern California coast, to the steamed lamb found in border towns just north of Mexico.
There are more tacos in the West than anywhere else in the country—whittling down our list from several dozen to this 16, and then the four that'd advance to the Sweet 16 overall, was one of the most difficult tasks we've faced in our many collective years as Serious Eaters. Truth be told, you'd be hard pressed not to find a good taco while in California. That said, after a rigorous amount of eating (er, overeating) we managed to create this list.

Which 4 Made it to the Sweet 16?
Carnitas from Cinco Puntos: The carnitas from this super cocina market (they also sell piñatas and dried chiles from giant bins) are juicy with crisp edges and a mouthful of porky flavor. They pile the meats on high but each thick, still warm and puffy tortilla—made lovingly by one of the ladies in the back—impressively stays intact. Make sure to get plenty of the bright nopales (cactus) on top to cut through the rich, fatty meat.
3300 E Cesar E Chavez Ave, Los Angeles CA 90063 (map); 323-261-4084
Fried Camarones from Mariscos Jalisco Truck: The deep-fried crunchy pockets that come out of this brightly painted truck are a two-handed affair. After the initial crunch from the miraculously ungreasy shell, the whole thing gives way to a moist-crunchy-rich mass of fried shrimp topped with creamy slices of avocado and a bright, tomato-based salsa.
3040 E Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90023 (map); 323-528-6701
Huitlacoche from Aqui es Texcoco: Located in a strip mall about halfway from San Diego to Tijuana, locals come for the stewed lamb's head tacos and broth, but you'd be remiss to pass up on the huitlacoche. The black, runny, moldy-looking corn fungus may not have much by way of looks, but there's a reason Mario Batali dubbed huitlacoche "Mexican truffles." Earthy, nutty, and deeply savory, it's a traditional Mexican treat rarely seen stateside and goes perfectly inside soft-in-the-middle, crispy-on-the-edges corn tortillas.
1043 Broadway # 108 Chula Vista, CA 91911 (map); 619-427-4045
Carnitas from Tortilleria Y Tienda De Leon's: There's nothing particularly fancy or unique about the carnitas sold at the back of this slightly grimy, run-down grocery store. They're served on paper plates on fold-out picnic tables decorated with plastic flowers and come with a bare minimum of toppings: diced onions and cilantro, perhaps a splash of lime juice and a spoonful of salsa roja. What makes them special? They're some of the juiciest-on-the-inside, crispest-on-the-outside, outright porkiest carnitas we've had anywhere, all served on light and flaky freshly made corn tortillas.
