The Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Year, Mapped

"Tendons are rarely worthy of praise, even among those who love the connective tissue, but Dumpling King’s preparation deserves some shine. The thinly sliced, lightly marinated tendons arrived translucent and delicate like stained glass. And while the accompanying beef shank was perfectly good, it was the tendons that our chopsticks couldn’t stay away from. —Cathy Chaplin" - Eater Staff
