Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Last week, my colleague Phil Vettel and I unveiled our 10 favorite dishes we ate in Chicago restaurants in 2014. Narrowing the list down to five each was yeoman’s work, and we were pained to leave out a number of worthy contenders.

So here, now, are my favorite dishes of the past year that just didn’t make the cut.

* Tofu from Sumi Robata Bar
* Crispy tripe tacos from La Chaparrita
* Roast chicken from Chicken Shop
* Schmaltz smashed potatoes from Honey Butter Fried Chicken
* Arancini from Forno Rosso
* Carbonara wings from Gabutto Burger
* Omelette from Au Cheval
