I collected all of the responses from both threads on this topic. 54 total omissions. Everybody has different tastes but I think most people would agree that many of these are in the top 75 places in the OC. I’ve personally eaten at 38 of the 54 listed below. If anybody knows somebody who works for the OC Register tell Brad Johnson to go visit some more places before making another ridiculous list in 2018.
