One win — The French Laundry, which also carries Michelin Three Stars and needs no further introduction. The rest run from finalists like Auro and The Charter Oak down to semifinalists at PRESS Restaurant and El Molino Central. Recognition isn't our rating — Bistro Jeanty holds a Finalist badge but lands only On the Radar. The receipts are on every page.
