Chef Ilan Hall grew up kosher, meaning pork was a no-no. But as an adult, his bacon-wrapped matzoh balls have become the definition of delicious and sacrilegious, as verified by Rahm Fama. But Ilan doesn't stop there. How about roasted pig? Or popcorn gizzards? Or the fave: banh mi poutine.

The chicken pot pie at WoodSpoon isn't your typical pot pie. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Giada raves that this homey Brazilian meal is unbelievably tasty with olives, hearts of palm and juicy, tender chicken. For a mini version, try the coxinha, a yummy fried chicken croquette.

Along with German specials like herbed spaetzle and boar bratwurst, Schmidt's serves a fragrant dish of apple strudel. Aida Mollenkamp adds the strudel to her "best thing ever" list for its buttery phyllo dough and golden raisins soaked in rum. As she says, "it's what dreams are made of."

For a fruity dish that's savory too, Chris Cosentino heads to Out the Door in San Francisco for the Green Papaya Salad. Made with unripe papaya, pickled carrots and Vietnamese mint, he says the salad is refreshing, crisp and perfect. Chris's tip: Order the rice porridge for some texture variety.

Located north of the panhandle, as the name implies, Nopa is known for urban rustic food and organic wood-fired cuisine. As in many Bay-area spots, seasonal ingredients reign supreme here.

Spread's peanut butter may stick to the roof of Tyler Florence's mouth, but that doesn't stop him from calling the white chocolate pretzel peanut spread "insanity in a jar."

When Duff craves garlic he knows Zankou Chicken's got him covered. Since 1962, Zankou has been home to a menu filled with Mediterranean favorites such as falafel and shawerma. But for a real "whapoosh," Duff says to order the Half Chicken with a garlic sauce that's bold, yet super tasty.

No need to play chicken with Mr. Pollo. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Chris Cosentino calls the $15, 4-course tasting menu a perfect example of "bang before the buck." Every tasting menu is consistently delicious, especially the stuffed arepa tortilla packed to the seams with pork and cheese.

Sunny Anderson wanted to treat a friend to Valerie Confections' petit fours but instead, treated herself to Valerie's rose petal petit fours that were nothing short of an "edible orchestra." Valerie also makes symphonies with coffee cakes, toffees and even chili-infused chocolate truffles.
