Grilled Corn Mexican Style  @ Cafe Habana Malibu
Brought from New York to Malibu by Sean Meenan and Rande Gerber, this casual spot is the place to be for reasonably priced food and down-to-earth service. An absolute must-try is the famous cheese-covered grilled corn, on which the Malibu locals are hooked: a cob smothered by salty Cotija cheese, specked with cayenne pepper and finished with a smack of tangy lime. Take a seat in the temperate, tropical patio and enjoy.

Capricciosa pizza @ 360 Gradi
Pizza lovers must head to 360 Gradi. Owner Nick Vadagnini had been in Australia for about six years when he decided to open this pizza joint to provide Adelaide’s food scene with some much-needed Italian traditional pizzas. The pizza crust on these handmade delights are super thin, light and crispy; and the toppings are fresh, simple and flavorful. The capricciosa with tomato, mozzarella, ham, hot pepperoni, artichokes and mushrooms caps has a good balance of flavors. A bit of heat from the hot pepperoni and the artichokes and mushrooms cut through the salt perfectly with firm juicy bites. The sirio topping with tomato, mozzarella, capsicum, red onions, prosciutto and crudo di Parma is just as good. The pizza garlic bread is also a winner with a touch of olive oil and garlic. Simplicity at its best.

Cheese Steak Ciabatta @ Roast
Tucked away at the top of Argyle Street, Roast is no ordinary coffee shop. The proof is in the first bite of this made-to-order creation. Served in a crusty ciabatta with melted mature Cheddar cheese and mayo atop a tender bavette steak, just add some peppers (not the chili kind) for the perfect, hot and savory sandwich.

Voodoo Bleu Oysters @ Half Shell Oyster Bar & Grill
Although you can find chargrilled oysters in restaurants all over the city, the ones at Half Shell are not to be missed. These beauties are freshly shucked, topped with bacon and bleu cheese and grilled just enough to let all those beautiful flavors meld together.

Boudreaux Fries @ Bruno's Tavern
Named after the locally famous Boudreaux & Thibideaux jokes, these fries from Bruno's Tavern in the Riverbend are "gar-on-teed" to blow your mind and your taste buds. You won't be able to get enough sweet potato fries topped with roast beef debris, bleu cheese crumbles, sugar and spice pecans, and golden raisins.

Fish & Chips @ Booty's Street Food
Celebrating the street food of the world, Booty's in Bywater offers all kinds of interesting dishes, but one can't resist these Fish & Chips made with malt vinegar-battered Gulf fish served with house tartar sauce and curry ketchup.

Doughnut balls  @ Duende
Doughnuts for breakfast are serious business, and they are completely reasonable when they taste this good. Perth's breakfast scene is fiercely competitive and diverse in its offering, and Duende's new dish is light and fluffy, with the perfect companion -- peanut butter and jelly ice cream and macadamia crumb. This sweet treat is a wonderful dish worth visiting for alone, but the rest of their breakfast menu is great, too.

Fried Chicken Legs @ Poste Moderne Brasserie
For the most incredible fried chicken in DC, head to Poste Moderne Brasserie. Housed in an historic 19th-century building, the site was transformed into a beautiful hotel restaurant and bar with noteworthy cocktails and a lovely courtyard patio. In the kitchen, chef Kyoo Eom marinates chicken legs for days and then slow confits them before frying. The finished product is insanely tender and juicy with the best crispy crunch. The only bad thing is that it can only be found at brunch.

Peanut Butter and Three Berry Jam Pop Tart  @ The Old Laundry Bar & Eatery
The Old Laundry recently launched a new breakfast menu with a new head chef taking charge. The house-made pop tart is crazy good with a crumbly short pastry and sweet, well balanced filling of chocolate mousse, salted caramel and banana. The mousse is bitter but creamy, and the salted caramel is rich. The addition of fresh banana, pomegranate and mint lifts the dish and refreshes your palette. Very clever and very fun, this dessert is a must for all sweet tooth breakfast fans out there.

Pikachu Empanada @ La Cocina
Argentines take their empanadas (meat- and vegetable-filled pastries) seriously, and many claim that tiny La Cocina has the best around. This empanada dive in Recoleta is always packed with old Argentinian men getting down with wonderful baked empanadas from Catamarca. The signature empanada is the one to go home with. The Pikachu is loaded with three cheeses, onions and a mild spicy sauce.
