Gourmet Magazine's Restaurant Issue features the first guide to "America's Best 50 Restaurants" from the magazine's restaurant reviewers. Ruth Reichl, editor in chief of Gourmet and 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.
