Smyth in Chicago moved to No. 1 from No. 4 in the prior year. The restaurant is operated by John Shields and Karen Urie Shields, using a constantly changing menu shaped by local growers and purveyors they know. New York leads with 10 restaurants in the top 50. Washington D.C., New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Atlanta each gained multiple top-tier wins. The list includes 36 U.S. restaurants, with 18 appearing for the first time, while the remaining top 20 winners are in Canada. Emeril Lagasse received the Icon Award, Atelier Crenn in San Francisco won for sustainability, and Wildweed in Cincinnati earned One to Watch.
"Chicago's Smyth claimed the top spot, jumping from No. 4 last year. New York still dominates with 10 restaurants across the list. And cities like Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Los Angeles are making real moves."
