2020 has been a crazy year for the food industry. Restaurants have had to re-invent themselves, catering to takeouts and outdoor dining. It's been amazing to see how restaurants have supported each other, small popups and the community as well. These establishments need our support now more than ever. Here is a list of 20 eateries we really liked in 2020, hope you try some of these and are able to support local businesses. These are not in any specific order.
