Bon Appetit has crowned the latest class of its best new restaurants of the year.
The 24 restaurants receiving the food magazine's annual honor hail from around the country: big, coastal cities like New York City or Los Angeles, as well as smaller, more middle-America cities like Detroit and Oklahoma City.
"The restaurant world is packed with creativity right now, and these 24 spots represent the very best of dining," Bon Appetit restaurant editor Elazar Sontag wrote in the introduction, noting that this year's list is longer and includes more restaurants than years past.
