Oakland soul-food spot Burdell named “Restaurant of the Year” by Food & Wine magazine
Each year, the editors of Food & Wine magazine select the best new restaurant in America, and this year, it’s right in downtown Oakland.
Burdell on Telegraph Avenue is re-imagining soul food in a manner that is capturing the attention of the food world in a big way and has earned the title “Restaurant of the Year.”
“We first kind of heard about this in January and then I think it was March or April when we got the news about what they were snooping around for,” said owner Geoff Davis.
Geoff Davis has spent 20 years in the restaurant business, but when he opened “Burdell” almost a year ago, it was an homage to his roots. He has a picture of his grandmother, Burdell Demby, on the wall, but she’s also in every dish he cooks. He’s busting some myths about soul food.
