Like we've been saying all along, SAVOR may have moved to New York, but it still holds a special place in our hearts. This year was a difficult year to pick "top" pairings as the list was chock full of interesting-sounding dishes and unique flavor matchups. Still, we did our duty and picked our favorites.
