"If I absolutely had to choose my single favorite dish of the year, at least so far, this one would probably come to mind first — the mashiso chicken from Sura BBQ in Medford Square. I will eat rice cakes in any and all contexts, particularly the spicy stir-fried Korean dish tteokbokki, but this is on another level: fried rice cakes and popcorn chicken in a sticky-sweet sauce with a hint of heat. It’s chewy, it’s crispy, it’s hot, it’s comforting. Pair this with a crisp, simple beer, a side of kimchi, and some late-night television. —Rachel Leah Blumenthal" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Nathan Tavares, Karen Wilber
