GQ Names "The Ten Best New Restaurants in America" for 2012

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- GQ has announced "The Ten Best New Restaurants in America" for 2012. The annual feature appears in the March issue of the magazine, available on newsstands nationwide February 21. Alan Richman and the editors of GQ spent the past year crisscrossing the country and comparing notes on an all-star freshman class. From a culinary time machine in Chicago to a tiny chef's table above a bar in Nashville, they've compiled the list of everywhere you should be digging in. This year's list—topped by chef Michael Voltaggio's modern eatery Ink, in Los Angeles, CA—helps prove that there's one sector of American life that still isn't broken: our restaurants.
