"Viet Nguyen of Gao Viet Kitchen in San Mateo offers a gargantuan bowl of lobster-topped pho called Phozilla for $79, which includes a whole Maine lobster, beef rib, oxtail, filet mignon, brisket, and bone marrow. Intended as a shared dish, it's made by Nguyen himself and reflects the restaurant's playful and creative approach to Vietnamese cuisine." - Lauren Saria
