Alan Richman, the longtime restaurant critic for GQ magazine, named his top 25 new restaurants in the country today, and Austin’s Dai Due and St. Philip Bakeshop made the list.
Jesse Griffiths’ East Austin eatery is sure to land on numerous best new restaurants lists this year, and though St. Philip is technically a pizzeria in Sunset Valley, its thoughtful small plates and solid execution (and connection to the Uchi restaurants) make it a popular destination for visiting critics as well.
