Three James Beard Winners are on this list — Peninsula, Arnold's Country Kitchen, and City House — and they land in three different tiers with us. Finalists like The Catbird Seat and Bastion sit at Delicious as F*ck, backed by Michelin One Stars. Below them, a wide semifinalist bench running back to 2013. Recognition isn't our rating: City House won in 2016 and rates Worth Trying today. The receipts are on every page.
