50 Best Restaurants

By Warren Rojas

A cavalcade of fresh faces, adventurous cuisines and awe-inspiring environs joins the ranks of our annual fine-dining round-up this year—bumping our epicurean who’s who to twice its original size (now boasting
50 unbeatable restaurants you don’t want to miss).

The competition was fierce. The evaluation process grueling (think back-to-back-to-back meals).

Along the way we got better acquainted with some of the area’s top toques. More importantly, we learned more about how you, our readers, make everyday dining decisions.
