While Chicago Cut was the only spot to make Esquire's top 20 best new restaurant list, there were a few other places worth mentioning. Writer John Mariani called out Tavernita and chef Ryan Poli as an early 2012 contender based on Poli's past cooking at Perennial. He also said Girl & the Goat and Paris Club were restaurants "not to miss," although we're a little surprised the Goat didn't make the top 20, especially since it was a James Beard nominee. [Esquire]
