How Chef picks
We start with places from our own stories and city guides, then read this year's critics, city guides and best-of lists, and keep the places more than one good source names. Every pick was checked open and checked to really do takeout or delivery; food that falls apart in a bag doesn't make it. Up to five per food in each city, never padded. 134 picks from 248 sources so far, and each one says where we found it. Order from the place's own site when it has one: more of the money stays with the kitchen.
Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
