End of year coverage rolls on this week, with Gambit critic Sarah Baird asking if 2015 will be the year of "next-generation Chinese food" in New Orleans, as 2014 was certainly the year of the taco, with a side of tiki and even vegan. Here now, Baird's superlatives for the class of '14:
- Meauxbar, Biggest Flirt (best date night spot)
- Pagoda Cafe, Class Clown (most whimsical)
- Carrollton Market, Most Intellectual (and regal)
- Old Arabi Eats, Miss Congeniality (most welcoming)
- Doris Metropolitan and Kebab, Most Artistic (most creative)
- Ox Lot 9, Most Likely To Succeed
