No surprise here, kiddies. Texas Monthly released its lists of Top 10 Best New Restaurants and Bars in their March 2014 Food issue (which is totally drool-worthy, by the way) and three local faves made the cut.
Unsurprisingly, barbecue badass Tim Rattray's and little bro brewmaster Alex Rattray's The Granary Cue & Brew squeaked in at No. 9 for Best New Restaurant. The eatery, which had a big part in bringing in Josh Ozersky's carnivorous Meatopia event, is a great example of SA reaching that "big city" feel of found in the Austins, San Franciscos and Chicagos of the world.
Arcade Midtown Kitchen and Barbaro came in at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively, for best new bars. With Chris Ware, formerly of Bohanan's at the helm of the bar program, Arcade's nod is entirely well-deserved. As for Barbaro, which I personally can't get enough of, the bar is an aesthetic gem and the drinks aren't bad either.
