Location: Mykonos, Greece

What: Moussaka!

At Ornos Beach on Mykonos,  where all the gorgeous yachts seem to pull up, there is a restaurant amongst a touristy spot just steps from the beach that you can tell is the one where the locals frequent. It is called Porto Ornos Restaurant and Bar. The service is nothing to speak of but, the moussaka was the best my lips have ever encountered. Fluffy, soft, rich mashed potatoes atop thick, juicy, olive oil baked eggplant and small delicate crumbles of hours roasted lamb with a gorgeous confited in sweat fat-filled and tart tomato sauce.

It was divine, truly. I ate it with many breaths of disbelief in between each slowly fork risen bite.
