Best of 2018 - Food

Last year I ate out about 300 times. This year it was a little closer to 275.

I'm not qualified to be a food critic, but I did eat a lot of food and I do have opinions. So here are my top 20 favorites, the ones that are accessible, affordable *and* delicious enough that I went there numerous times during the year. My list of favorites is mostly down to how many times I went there, with a little fudging.

Favorites:

1. Snooze A.M.
2. Easy Tiger
3. Home Slice
4. Hopdoddy
5. Chuy's

I also kept track of where I ate lunch this year, and these are my favorites, based on how often I ate there. It's not just quality of food, here, but also closeness to work, where I'm usually eating lunch.
