Bon Appétit Announces Best New Restaurants, Including Linger, Pinche Taqueria and Pizzeria Locale

Bon Appétit Restaurant Editor Andrew Knowlton has named the Top 50 Best New Restaurants in the country, acknowledging Linger (#21) and Pinche Taqueria (#28) in Denver, and Pizzeria Locale (#29) in Boulder. Knowlton will edit the list down to 10 elite restaurants on August 14th, and he'll crown the country's best new restaurant. Here's what Knowlton and BA love about each concept:

Linger: "Formerly a mortuary, the space features bar tables that were allegedly built from old casket-rollers."
Pinche Taqueria: "The extensive list of tequilas features dozens of choices, from blancos to three-year-aged añejos."
Pizzeria Locale: "A dough-proofing box ensures that the temperature and humidity match those in Naples. The 1,000-degree, hand-built brick oven is pretty cool, too."
