“Julia and I searched for one-of-a-kind places that can’t be replicated,” Knowlton says. “We love restaurants that are driven by passionate people with distinct points of view. These places aren’t cookie-cutter. They’re absolutely authentic to the cities where they’re based. We want to recognize restaurants that showcase hard work, genuine hospitality, and delicious food.”
The 50 nominees for the Hot 10: America’s Best New Restaurants 2016 represent Bon Appétit’s biggest digital activation yet on bonappetit.com, an immersive online experience featuring recipes, interactive features, and exclusive video content.
“Every year we want to go bigger and better with the Hot 10 package,” says Carey Polis, editor of bonappetit.com. “For 2016, this means prioritizing the users’ experiences and enhancing visuals. We want people to feel like they intimately know the restaurants, even if they’ve never visited them.”
