Best Asian-American: Agnes and Sherman
Named for his parents, Agnes and Sherman, chef Nick Wong brings diner-style modern Asian American fare to this buzzy new spot on 19th. Here,the Momofuku and UBPreserv alum turns nostalgia into playful, bold dishes that are better than any diner food you’ve ever had – think savory scallion waffles with sambal honey butter, Taiwanese disco fries with pork gravy and pickled mustard greens, crab randoon dip with crispy wonton chips, and crawfish gumbo smothered egg foo young. Tack on a newly launched brunch and lunch service and the Heights has its new favorite spot.
