If you’ve been reading the Local Palate for a while, you know that we have an abundance of respect and appreciation for the restaurant industry. From what goes onto the plate and into the glass to what happens in the back of the house and to the people who run the ship, we are dedicated to exploring the stories that are shaping today’s restaurant scene in our second annual New Restaurants issue.

As before, we tasked a team of writers and editors from across the South to report on the restaurants that have made a splash in their states during 2022. This list tells the story of a turning point for the South’s food scene, wherein ingenuity and resilience are rising up after a pandemic, and a foundational shift has put the health and well-being of those working in this industry at the center of the conversation. Restaurants opening around the South now better represent and serve the many international populations that call this region home, while also lifting up, celebrating, and offering space to minority communities.

What’s more? Things are delicious out there. As our contributors can attest, the quality and creativity coming out of Southern restaurant kitchens right now might be the best we’ve ever tasted. Now, it’s your turn. Eat your way through the list and let us know what you think.
