This unique Mexican-Asian fusion joint started as one of the top food trucks in California, but Komodo's bold-flavored cuisine became so popular that a brick-and-mortar location was opened to keep pace with demand. Any of the tacos, burritos or rice bowls are sure to satisfy, but one particularly filling option is the Brutus Salad. You won't find a bit of lettuce in this "salad"; instead, crispy fried Tater Tots are topped with tender steak and jalapeno aioli.

This tiny spot with bar-style seating fills up fast, but its decadent French dishes make the wait well worth it. Try the croque madame, which is layered with buttery bread, Gruyere-laced bechamel sauce, tender ham, and even more sauce and cheese, then finished with a golden egg on top.

Diners at Chef Wolfgang Puck's sleek hot spot have their pick of choice meats, from prime Illinois corn-fed steaks aged 21 days to Nebraska beef aged 35 days. Wagyu fans can choose from American or Japanese varieties. When it comes time to pick your side, opt for the cavatappi mac and cheese. This creamy dish features a bechamel-based cheese sauce composed of mozzarella, cheddar and Gruyère.

For a truly tasty sandwich, sink your teeth into the No. 3 Pastrami from this New York deli. A decadent creation, this meaty sandwich is built with layer upon layer of thinly sliced pastrami, Swiss cheese, creamy coleslaw and Russian dressing, all nestled between slices of pumpernickel bread.

As Duff discovered, breakfast just isn’t breakfast without chicken. Roscoe's waffles with fried "chix" and maple syrup may be an unusual pair, but they’re a "genius" combo. David Alan Grier’s go-to dish is The Oscar, which features fried chicken and buttery grits, along with a biscuit and fried egg.

This neighborhood tavern gets creative with comfort food eats, resulting in addictive dishes like the Chicken and Waffle Croquettes. Daphne Brogdon can’t get enough of these chicken-bacon meatballs, which are dunked into waffle batter, deep-fried, then finished with a maple-hot sauce concoction.

This spot may be known for its seafood, but it’s the Mile High Chocolate Cake that has Tia Mowry hooked. “I cannot imagine a dish with more chocolate,” she says of the three-layer cake, which is blanketed in chocolate buttercream frosting, then topped with chocolate ganache and chocolate shavings.
