"As part of the New York Times' food section's initiative to become more national in its scope, we have a full rave review of the Michelin three-starred Atelier Crenn, and fresh accolades for Verjus and Oakland's Sun Moon Studio. Also, the Food & Wine Best New Chefs list has dropped, and it includes an Oakland chef. Call it part of the "boom loop" actually, please don't but San Francisco and the Bay Area are inching back into the national food conversation after several years in which we've been largely ignored."
"The Times' now annual Restaurant List is a bit of an odd thing. It's part "best new restaurants" around the country, but actually doesn't try to be comprehensive, and not all the restaurants are new. It's part "50 best in the country" although it's not really that either and is far too narrowly focused. And it's part "where to eat now" in terms of capturing a certain buzz and food zeitgest across the country, though, again, not comprehensive or trying to be."
Atelier Crenn, a three-star Michelin restaurant, received extensive praise in a full review. Verjus and Oakland's Sun Moon Studio gained fresh accolades, and Sun Moon Studio earned a Michelin star. An Oakland chef was named to Food & Wine's Best New Chefs list. San Francisco and the Bay Area are regaining visibility in the national dining conversation after several years of relative neglect. A prominent annual restaurant list blends new-restaurant picks, a selective national best list, and buzzy current recommendations without claiming comprehensiveness. Recent local highlights include Quince and Four Kings previously, and now Sun Moon Studio and Verjus.
