The 12 Days Of A Yakima Foodie's Christmas

This one goes out to all my foodies living here in Yakima. I have created the twelve days of a Yakima Foodie's Christmas list filled with delicacies from our most popular eateries. If you asked any local Yakimite what is a popular food to eat in Yakima, they would probably tell you a cheese zombie or an asparagus tamale from Los Hernandez Tamales, but I don't want to stop there. I want to eat up EVERYTHING!

If you are moving to Yakima or thinking about visiting here, there are some foods that every person must try at least once. I ran out of days; I should have made this list the 31 Days of Xmas so that I could fit some of my favorite honorable mentions* on this list below.
