I don’t know how she keeps her girlish figure. But 5280 magazine food editor Amanda Faison must have found the fountain of slim because she eats for a living and keeps her petite frame put. Sigh.
In the current edition of 5280, Faison lists her picks for the 25 Best Restaurants. Some familiar food places are still on the list (Frasca was also No. 1 last year), and some are making triumphant returns (Barolo Grill, for example). And there are plenty of newbies making their debut, including Acorn inside The Source, The Plimoth, Basta in Boulder, Bistro Barbes and the 19-seat To the Wind Bistro and more.
“I had 61 dinners specifically for 25 Best Restaurants,” Faison said. “That does not include meals intended to be a general assessment or Best New Restaurants research.” Her svelte secret: “Lots of exercise.”
This is the issue that you may love to hate — depending on how your fave raves score (or don’t). Here’s the list:
