@semmanyc is one of the 10 Best New Restaurants in the country by @bonappetitmag — we needed a moment to let that sink in. A Southern Indian restaurant is the best new restaurant out of NYC? An Indian Chef is the @beardfoundation winner? Change does not just happen, but we all have to work together to make it possible. ••• So much went into making ourselves believe that an idea like this can stand on its own. Thanks to the courage and vulnerability of @chef.vijayakumar and the @unapologeticfoodsnyc team this became a reality. Thanks to each and every guest who showed up rain or shine to support us. This makes our cuisine shine brighter each day. ••• Thank you 🙏 @e_zar and the entire @bonappetitmag @condenasttraveller for giving us a chance and sharing our story with such care. ••• Posted @withrepost • @bonappetitmag 🎉 Our best new restaurants list is back! 🎉 This year, restaurant editor Elazar Sontag (@e_zar) and the BA team traveled across the country and tasted their way through so many restaurants demonstrating a ferocious sense of creativity. In 2022, we're highlighting restaurants that are approaching things differently than they have in the past. They’re serving food that defies expectations and feels truer than ever to chefs’ own identities. They’re putting staff first in ways that feel new and inspiring and just right. And they're having a hell of a lot of fun. In other words: These 10 restaurants remind us exactly how thrilling dining out can be.
