"Last night at the Wynn Las Vegas, the 50 Best organization - the group behind the World's 50 Best Restaurants list - unveiled a new ranking, the North America's 50 Best Restaurants, to a roaring crowd of hundreds of chefs, owners, journalists (including yours truly and Eater audience editor Kat Thompson), and other food enthusiasts. The event marked the first time North America received its own list - though by the organization's definition, North America comprises the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean,"
"There are already plenty of restaurant lists and awards like this. Internationally, the World's 50 Best goes toe-to-toe with Michelin guides (which don't rank restaurants and award stars to a select few). Domestically, the James Beard Award Foundation, Bon Appétit, Esquire, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and plenty of other organizations attempt to make their mark with annual best lists or awards."
North America's 50 Best Restaurants ranking debuted at the Wynn Las Vegas, with 300 regional voters selecting top eight restaurants each. The list covers the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, excluding Mexico and Central America. Atomix in New York City placed first, Montreal wine bar Mon Lapin placed second, and Ontario's Pearl Morissette placed third. The list joins other national and international restaurant rankings such as the World's 50 Best and Michelin, and domestic awards like the James Beard Awards. Voters received no criteria, enabling inclusion of casual and counter-service venues such as Los Angeles's Holbox and New York's Penny.
