The nominees for best new restaurant include Barrio Costero in Asbury Park, Graze in Little Silver and Common Lot in Millburn. News 12 recently got a chance to check out their signature dishes.
Nominations were accepted from the public for the 13 categories, then narrowed down. A panel of about 100 journalists, food writers, cookbook authors and other culinary experts will vote on the winners.
