Rounding up the roundups:

5. WaPo's "Best and Worst Dishes of 2011." I totally agree with Yonan on El Centro D.F. Worst. Tacos. Ever.

4. Washingtonian's "Top 10 Dining-World Dramas of 2011," complete with a gracious nod to Y&H. Hey, thanks for the plug!

3. HuffPo's top 6 suburban Chinese spots (and two in D.C.) to spend Christmas if you're Jewish (or just hungry)

2. Burger Days' "2011 Burgers of the Year," complete with several glossy, virtually pornographic close-ups of all the juicy beefy glory.

1. Bitches Who Brunch's "2011 Brunches: The Best, The Worst." I simply can't say enough about the bitching.

Serious Eats, one of my daily go-to sites about food and culture, has jumped head-first into the year-end list business. The site has counted down its Top 10 blog posts of the year. I'm not sure what it says about us, culturally, that an item about a new fast-food container tops the list. But whatever it says, I'm sure it's not very flattering.

Serious Eats' sister site on pizza, Slice, has also posted its Top 8 items of the year.
