Bon Appetit magazine has just announced their annual Hot Ten list, a ranking of the best new restaurants in the country.
The cuisines at these hotter-than-hot restaurants range from Italian to Scandinavian to Macanese, with some of the meals comprising of 18-course meals or locally "scavenged" ingredients. Their locations span the country, too, with dining spots on both coasts and several places in between.
