A big hurrah for Calumet Fisheries, which has been named one of the James Beard Foundation’s 2010 America’s Classics restaurants. Given to just five restaurants nationwide each year, the award acknowledges places “with timeless appeal, beloved for quality food that reflects the character of their community” — qualifications which Cal Fisheries embodies and then some. Per the Beard Foundation (and probably per plenty of its avid fans), “Calumet Fisheries remains the best reason to cross the 95th Street Bridge.” [Inbox]
