A friend thought I should do some end-of-year lists. Well, now that the hubbub of the holidays is over, here are my picks for my favorite restaurants in Columbus. I know everyone else does top 10 lists - maybe next year I'll make enough money to eat out as much as it would take to have 30 favorites.
Here they are, listed in alphabetical order; the links go to my reviews, if applicable, with a link to the restaurant's website at the end.
