Knife Named One of Esquire’s Best New Restaurants 2014

DALLAS (Oct. 14, 2014) – Knife, from chef John Tesar, has been selected as one of Esquire magazine’s best new restaurants in 2014, as part of its first American Food & Drink Awards in the “On the Menu” November issue, a celebration of the country’s best new restaurants, chefs, dishes, drinks and more.

The American Food & Drinks Awards incorporate Esquire’s annual “Best New Restaurants” and celebrate the exceptional men and women who are redefining what it means to eat and drink well in America.

“We’re extremely honored and humbled to be among this top-notch group of restaurants and chefs,” said Tesar. “The people’s reviews matter most to me, but it is always appreciated when we are recognized for the dedication and passion we put into this craft. Spoon was chosen last year and I want to continue putting out the best food I possibly can. I’m bowling for a turkey and hopefully will continue the streak in 2015.”
