Each year, the editors of Food and 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.
This soul food through the lens of California cuisine and California ingredients...that to me is what is so refreshing about this restaurant,' he said.But in true Oakland fashion, Davis also has a feeling for social justice. On the menu it explains that a 20 percent service charge has been added to pay his staff a decent wage and because he feels tipping has been used in the past as a sneaky way of keeping workers underpaid.
