Are you a loyalist?
The Loyal-List was born from heated discussions on what is better: the family-owned restaurant that you’ve been going to for years, or the up-and-coming trendy spot. As you’ll learn, I prefer the former. In these unprecedented times, each entry into The Loyal-List honors those institutions and the communities they have built, and even some fan favorite recipes. Whether or not you agree, I hope this brings out the loyalist in you…
