The Best Things We Ate and Drank in August
Oh, did we eat well in August. At a handful of new restaurants and during visits to a few older favorites, we dug into seasonal peach and vegetable dishes, juicy burgers and artfully constructed small plates. We didn't say no to tacos, sandwiches, pizza or noodles, either, because great grub can be found all over the city and at all prices. Feast your eyes on a month of delicious food and drink photos from August 2017.
