30 Best Restaurants in America

There are some 200,000 full-service restaurants in America, so it's no small task to determine the best ones. Can you compare a roadside burger joint with an urban fine-dining restaurant whose theme changes every few months? "Best restaurant" lists are tricky, but answering these questions is what the third annual list of The Daily Meal's 101 Best Restaurants in America sets out to do. A list of 303 nominees was narrowed to 202, then voted on by a panel of 174 judges and our staff, with each restaurant getting the chance to be selected three times on the basis of location, type of cuisine, and factors of price, level of "buzz," formality of food and atmosphere, classic status, and epic meal experience offered. - Arthur Bovino, The Daily Meal
