    The Top 10 Chefs in Columbus of 2016

    The Columbus dining scene is one that is diversifying, growing and evolving with some stellar kitchen talent leading the charge. Locals have a wide variety of high quality restaurant options to choose from, and when asked about their favorite chefs at the helms of local menus, our readers and contributors picked Chef Seth Lassak at Wolf’s Ridge Brewing as number one in the city.

    “Wolf’s Ridge Brewing isn’t just for Beer-o-philes — it’s got a straight-up fancy menu at which any self-respecting food lover would want to peek,” stated CU Food Critic Miriam Bowers Abbott in her original look at the restaurant when it first opened. “In spite of the fanciness, there’s no pretense at Wolf’s Ridge.”

    The restaurant launched a separate Taproom Kitchen menu in 2016, featuring a new menu customized to the more casual back-room setting in the rear of the building.
