Q: What and where was your single best meal in 2011?

Daniel "BBQ Snob" Vaughn, Full Custom Gospel BBQ: My single best meal was a smorgasbord of smoked meats at Pecan Lodge. Pulled pork, thick sliced fatty brisket, the city's best fried chicken, homemade pork sausage and some fried okra to round it all out.

Stephanie Hawkes, DFW Food Truck Foodie: Rolled Gold - Chicken & Hong Kong Waffle with peppercorn gravy from City Street Grille.
