For eleven months, the D Magazine editors revisited old favorites and checked out the latest openings. They asked for suggestions, talked to the experts, and compared notes. Our editors select winners based entirely on merit and grit. Advertising does not affect the editor’s list in any way, shape, or form.

The Readers’ Choice winners for the Food & Drink category were selected by D Magazine readers through an online voting form.

The complete list of winners will featured in the August 2022 issue of D Magazine and will be featured in the September/October 2022 issue of D Home. You can view the 2021 D Magazine‘s list of winners here.
