Congratulatons to Waitsburg's Bar Bacetto

WAITSBURG-The New York Times published its third annual Restaurant List for 2023. The list consists of the 50 restaurants in the United States that "excite them most right now."

They sent a dozen reporters, editors, and critics nationwide to find new and old restaurants that offer exceptional fare.

Though a tasty job collecting candidates, narrowing it down to just fifty could not have been easy. According to the article, this is an expansive moment for independent restaurants. Good news after the last few years of upheaval in the industry.

And good news for Waitsburg. One of the chosen spots is Bar Bacetto, the new restaurant Mike Easton and his wife and business partner Erin opened last October.

The reviewer, Brian Gallagher, described the space as picture-perfect and suggested diners order the whole menu. Maybe not as a solo diner, but I have enjoyed what Erin refers to as "Tutti" with one, two and three dinner companions. Every time it was a delight, and won't be the last.
