American
Six American spots clear our bar. One hits Delicious, and it's got a James Beard Winner badge to back it up.
Spoon and Stable tops the list, a James Beard Winner from 2018 running $$$ in the North Loop. Behind it, five Damn Good spots carry their own weight — Alma with a 2010 Beard win, Demi and Tilia both Beard Finalists from 2020, Manny's Steakhouse a Semifinalist from 2012. Six spots, four Beard badges between them. That's a lot of recognition for a list this short.
