Our 2019 Best Restaurant List
The Edible editors and friends share their favorite local restaurants
Where We're Eating Now 2022 Edition
Our favorite places to sip and savor this season
Welcome to our 2022 Restaurant List, a listing of places we like to eat. Some are new, some old, but all local and most locally owned. Some we've eaten at one incredible time or are ones we go back to again and again. (There are lots of places not featured here because, well, we simply haven’t had the chance yet.) We hope this list inspires you. And as always - keep it local. Check out our 2022 Restaurant Guide here. And our 2019 Best Restaurant List. --The Editors
