Best New Restaurants 2019

Our Best New Restaurants list is more than a collection of "it" places to eat; it's a snapshot of American culture right now. We're presenting unmistakable places that are pushing food forward creatively, and finding new ways to gather people around a chef's counter. For us, "best" means your bomb-ass meal comes with a riveting story, white tablecloth not required -- and there’s no shame in carrying the leftovers home in a bodega bag.

So I reached out to a few Black brewery owners who are working on founding their own sites, to hear how they went from homebrewing to actually selling their beer. I asked them to share their future plans, and give us their thoughts on the industry as a whole. I also talked with burgeoning Black beer festival Fresh Fest co-founder Mike Potter, whose mission is to showcase the ales and lagers brewed by Black breweries for thousands to experience.
