On Fridays we feature five food finds selected by local chefs or personalities. This week’s picks come from Doug McLeod, chef of Duner’s. McLeod’s picks:
1) Chicken and Waffles at Ace Biscuit & Barbecue. “One of my guilty pleasures, best Southern food in town.”
2) Dried Fried Eggplant Szechuan Style at Taste of China. “I find myself craving them. And the service is always friendly.”
3) Chorizo Taco at La Tako Nako. “My late night Mexican fix.”
4) Lamb Saagwala at Maharaja. “I also love the smell of incense and vibrant Indian decor.”
5) Popeye Pizza at Dr. Ho’s Humble Pie. “Lots of whole garlic. Vegetarian favorite. Plus anecdotes from Mike McCarthy.”
