40th Anniversary Party September 23rd, 2024 Gate Keeper 😀
Including five in California and three in San Francisco and Alameda.
We have finished our annual search for America’s best restaurants.
Over the last 12 months, reporters and editors traveled to nearly every state scouting restaurants for our annual list. This year, it was about spaces as much as places. We ate hyperlocal dishes served out of a trailer in a rural Virginia field, experienced one of America’s most refined seasonal tasting menus in one of San Francisco’s most refined rooms, dined on Creole fare in a strip mall down the road from NASA in Texas and joined a party behind a tattered ranch house in Johns Island, S.C.
Of our choices, 32 are new, opened since the 2023 list was assembled. But we also made space for longstanding restaurants still in top form, including one that opened in 1976. As always, there were no-brainers and tough choices — the United States has a vast, diverse spread of great restaurants these days — but these are our 50 favorites for 2024. BRIAN GALLAGHER
