How this list works
Every restaurant here carries a recorded mention from Best Thing I Ever Ate. They are ordered by how many professional critic publications have written about them overall — not by user reviews, star averages or popularity.
This covers the most critically acclaimed restaurants in the 4 cities we index, so it is not an exhaustive list of everywhere Best Thing I Ever Ate has ever been. A publication with fewer than 8 recorded restaurants gets no page at all.
