I can’t help it. I attack Maroons’ peppery-and-crackling-on-the-outside, hot-as-hell-but-tender-on-the-inside fried chicken the way Robin Leach chugs free champagne. —HAL RUBENSTEIN

Why this trademark dish tastes better in Brooklyn, I don’t know. It's best eaten in one of the booths, with a passel of keening children. —ADAM PLATT

Crispy, flavorful, and uncannily moist, the bird’s the finger-licking star of the $9.99 lunch buffet (not to knock the collards and black-eyed peas). —ROBIN RAISFELD

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
