#52. Iskender Kabob at DonerG

Because ustedes gentle readers love lists, behold the latest entry in our Top 100 dishes list that continues until Best Of--at which point, we'll give you MORE lists! Now, on with the show...

DonerG rightfully gets praise for its namesake kabob and other Turkish dishes, but my favorite is the iskender kabob

Imagine the petal-thin, luscious meats of DonerG, now cooked in a savory tomato sauce more Italian than Anatolian, but nevertheless delicious. Top it with melted butter to add more sweetness. End with cooling yogurt on the side. Simple, filling, nuanced, good--eat!

DonerG, 2139 E. Ball Rd., Anaheim, (714) 956-0123; www.donerg.com.
