The Daily Meal: 101 best restaurants in the US
Feb 21st 2013, 21:13

According to the Daily Meal's just-released annual list of the 101 Best Restaurants in America, Thomas Keller's French Laundry is the country's finest restaurant.

Ranking high on the list are other perennial fine dining favorites, such as Gramercy Tavern (#2) Le Bernardin (#3) and Eleven Madison Park (#5).  In all, 27 New York restaurants made the list. Chicago and Los Angeles both had seven, with eateries like Alinea and Bazaar, and Boston had three. 

But there are some also decidedly down home dining spots like Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, Conn. and Mission Chinese in San Francisco.  

Editorial director of The Daily Meal Colman Andrews and 173 other judges selected the restaurants based on cuisine, region and factors such as the level of formality and buzz and the prices.

"To be exceedingly fair, the ranking gives equal weight to highbrow eateries like The French Laundry and less expensive institutions like Shake Shack in New York," the editors said in a release. "If it's good food, it's fair game."
