Two local restaurant names on Zagat’s 30 Under 30 list

Linchul Shin, the 27-year-old GM of PABU Boston made Zagat’s list of young and exceptional hospitality pros. Josh Reynolds for The Boston Globe

Restaurant rater Zagat is putting together a list of young and exceptional hospitality pros across the country and calling it the Zagat 30 Under 30. It won’t be released until September, but we got a look at the 45 finalists and there are two folks from Boston. Linchul Shin, the 27-year-old GM of PABU Boston is one, and Irene Li, the 27-year-old co-founder of Mei Mei Street Kitchen & Restaurant is the other. (The only other New England whippersnapper on the list is Melissa Denmark, the 28-year-old executive pastry chef at Gracie’s and Ellie’s Bakery in Providence.) If you’re wondering what it takes to make the list, the answer is simple: Undeniable awesomeness.
