Julep: Southern Table & Whiskey House

"Upscale modern Southern cuisine is Julep’s claim to fame — think rutabaga-onion tart or pecan-crusted salmon with creamed lentils — but owners Kyle and Katy Foster know their way around the homestyle classics as well, whipping up fried chicken both for weekend brunch and for takeout by advance order, when it comes family-style with biscuits and a choice of two sides." - Lucy Beaugard, Paul Albani-Burgio, Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"Sometimes brunch service at this RiNo gem is jumping, sometimes it’s quiet—but whoever’s here is sure to be up on the latest enthusiastic press chef-owner Kyle Foster and his wife-partner Katy Foster have received. Their in-the-know customers include industry pros: always a good sign. Regardless of who's eating alongside you, you're in for a seasonal study in the New South, from New Orleans–style yakamein and banana-pecan bread in molasses-butter sauce to boiled-peanut hummus with crudités and fried chicken atop schmaltz waffles." - Ruth Tobias

"RiNo’s beloved ode to Southern cuisine, Julep, is offering an elegant pumpkin agnolotti made with pumpkin seed pasta, brown butter, roasted pumpkin, and a pumpkin seed and collard green pesto." - Rebecca Treon

"A Southern Spooktacular takes over this sophisticated RiNo restaurant on Saturday, October 19. The festive event will combine a hog roast — with all the fixins — with a costume contest, a haunted side show, an oddities shop, games, and live music. Different tiers of tickets are available, including seperate all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink options that are $25 each or an indulgent package offering unlimited servings of both for $40. The event will last from 6 to 11 p.m." - Camila Navarrette

"Would a restaurant by any other name throw a Derby party? Well, yes, but the Southern-style spot is ready for a second year of Derby debauchery with more drinks, bites, and prizes. From noon to 5 p.m. on May 4, Julep will offer three specialty cocktails, derby-inspired snacks, and a $100 gift card to the best dressed couple. Tickets start at $69 per person." - Camila Navarrette
