The eggplant Farmhouse Veggie Burger at this Portland, Ore., establishment rocked Duff's world. Made with homemade zucchini pickles, roasted peppers, caramelized onions, baby greens and spicy brown mustard in an artisan bun, the burger earns Duff's vote as one "amazing" combination.

Aarón Sánchez says the underrated Brussels sprouts take an "evil, decadent" turn at Lolita, where Iron Chef Michael Symon and Executive Chef James Mowcomber fry them in pork fat and then coat every leaf in citrusy shallot vinaigrette. It's a great lead-up to Lolita's pork chop.

For Robert, nothing beats the spicy, sweet, silky and crunchy Tiramisu a la Mexicana at Lolita. The Mexican spin on this Italian dessert comes from the ancho chiles, which give it a solid kick. Robert warns that this big, deep bowl of goodness will "blow your mind."

Served warm, not cold, and with perfect tanginess, the Dolmades Yialantzi at Agnanti Restaurant has become a go-to dish for Alex Guarnaschelli. Like the dolmades, Agnanti is known for re-creating true Constantinople classics like fire-roasted eggplant spread, grilled octopus and swordfish kebabs.

A trip to Vine Street Cafe doubles as a mini vacation, as Vine Street is on Shelter Island, a short ferry ride away from Long Island.

Located in the historic Bellevue Hotel, the Clover Club served as the monthly meeting place for a select group of Philadelphia journalists. After a long day, Ted Allen enjoys relaxing with the Gin Blossom. The cocktail is a 50/50 mix of gin and vermouth with orange bitters and apricot eau de vie.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Ted Allen ventures to Brooklyn for the most perfectly balanced B.L.T. Chef Boris Ginet hails from France, so the key to his B.L.T. comes from his homemade rosemary mayo and perfectly crisp bacon. He's also a wizard in the bakery as you must try his chocolate croissants.

Often hailed as the best pizza in New York, Di Fara has Sunny Anderson's vote on The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Pizziaolo Domenico DeMarco proudly admits that in the past 45 years since opening Di Fara, no one else has made the pizzas. It may be a tough record to beat, but definitely not to eat.

Jacques Torres already wowed Giada with his hot cocoa, but now Duff claims Jacques Torres makes the best ice cream at his Brooklyn shop. His evidence? The pistachio ice cream sandwich made with chunks of Jacques Torres pistachio chocolate sandwiched between two ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies.

When Rocco DiSpirito wants cheesecake, he skips the chocolate swirls and instead orders Junior's plain cheesecake with a sponge cake crust. Opened in 1950, Junior's has become an iconic Brooklyn restaurant, serving towering pastrami sandwiches, steak burgers and the "most fabulous" of cheesecakes.

Michael Psilakis didn't expect to find a gourmand experience at Brooklyn Bowl. But on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, he reveals the Brooklyn Bowl's Blue Ribbon chicken with its matzo ball exterior and flavor-packed interior, strikes a perfect 10. You also can't miss with Disco Fries or Mac 'n' Cheese.

Michael Psilakis has tasted and served ice cream since his days at Carvel. But on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Michael dreams about the nutty Butter Pecan Ice Cream at Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. With only eight flavors (served via cone, shake, split or sundae), each bite is simply delicious.

Before this hip Brooklyn bakery went head-to-head with Bobby on Throwdown, it was Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito's chance at perfecting dessert. Today, Baked has become a sweet-tooth mecca with favorites like their Sweet & Salty Brownie and their signature red velvet cupcakes.

Rachael Ray grew up on the pizza at Harvest, and even though she's met all the world's great chefs, she still insists no one makes a better pie. Owner Phil Hart returned the love by adding "The Rachael Ray" to the menu, which is topped with hot cherry peppers, green peppers and onions.

As a Long Island native, Adam Gertler knows his pizza, and for him, the Chefs of New York's spinach pizza takes the top spot. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Adam gushes over the pizza's creamy Parmesan sauce on a sesame seed crust. Add an order of addictive garlic knots and you have the perfect meal.
