Bucket lists: we all have them, even if we don't realize that we do.

They're, quite simply, a list of things that we'd like to do during our lives. They don't even need to be a formal list -- just a few ideas up in the noggin of things to accomplish. Sometimes they're big, exciting things to do, like climb Mt. Everest. Other times, they are decidedly more simple.

Well, on Sunday, Dec. 21, on the Food Network, Bobby Flay is going to be running down what should be every foodie's bucket list: the top 10 meals that he could find across the country. "Top 10 Restaurants with Food Network Magazine" is a delicious-sounding special hosted by the iconic iron chef himself.

The new year is a classic time for lists, and with 2015 less than two weeks away, it's also a perfect time to work on a culinary bucket list.

Together, Flay and Food Network Magazine have scoured the country to find 10 of the best meals that money can buy anywhere. It's not just the fancy, expensive restaurants that make the cut, either. No stone has been left unturned in their hunt for the best meals to be found from coast to coast, and sometimes they're in places that you wouldn't expect.

This countdown will have it all, from the best white tablecloth dinner to the most amazing backyard barbecue to the most essential seaside crab shack.

And really, when it comes down to it, the "best" meals are entirely subjective. No doubt the list will be controversial, so perhaps it shouldn't so much be viewed as the 10 absolute best dining experiences, but rather 10 that sit near the top of the dining heap.

Either way, more information about each of the 10 featured restaurants will be available at www.foodnetwork.com immediately after they're revealed in the countdown, including photos, locations and fun details.

If you don't yet have your own culinary bucket list, "Top 10 Restaurants with Food Network Magazine" sounds like a great place to start. Join in the countdown Sunday, Dec. 21, on the Food Network.
