Gourmet's October 2001 Restaurant Issue features the first guide to "America's Best 50 Restaurants"

former restaurant critic of The New York Times, and a team of Gourmet's critics ate thousands of
meals and traveled millions of miles, visiting restaurants across the country anonymously to create the list of
the Best 50 Restaurants in the United States. "America's Best 50 Restaurants" is also posted on the
GOURMET.COM Web site.
