Not all restaurants strive to be hushed temples of fine dining, and we love them all the more for it. These fast-casual places were some of our favorites to hit the food scene this year, from the amiable “Brooklyn BBQ” haven, Fletcher’s, to the Bushwick Bar Heavy Woods, which currently hosts the awesome N’Awlins pop-up, Tchoup Shop. But it’s the entirely without pretention PeteZaaz that we return to time and again, for their pastrami-stuffed Reuben Stromboli’s, bonkers pizza pies (tofu, yellow squash, fontina, stewed collards, and pickled Thai chiles, anyone?) and “pretty fly for a white guy” chef/owner’s.
