Every year Bon Appetit Magazine searches the country, from the beaches of California, to the Southern Belt, and finally landing itself in Maine for the best new restaurants in America. Andrew Knowlton (aka The "Foodist") has spent the last 12 months and ate around 250 meals to compile this list. He says "...all the spots I've chosen...are driven by people who care deeply about the food they're cooking." See who made the top 10 in the September 2011 issue.
