The 101 Best Restaurants list was created in 2013 by the late, Pulitzer Prize-winning restaurant critic Jonathan Gold as a guide to the places that is specific for Southern California food culture.
Now in its 12th year, the 101 has become a hallmark of The Times Food section and one of the newspaper’s most widely read annual guides.

                                                                               

The 2024 guide is curated by The Times’ James Beard Award-winning Restaurant Critic Bill Addison and Times Food Columnist Jenn Harris. Together, Addison and Harris are researching, writing and ranking the 101st best restaurants in the region based on sustained excellence in cooking and the dining experience.
                                                                              

Chefs and award-winning restaurateurs will gather to serve up exquisite dishes and celebrate another year of exceptional dining, with Gilberto Cetina, Michael Cimarusti, Genevieve Gergis, Charbel Hayek, Ludo Lefebvre, Ori Menashe and Nancy Silverton, among others, scheduled to attend.

Guests can enjoy unlimited sips and bites from dozens of the city’s top restaurants and bars, while The Times Food team presents a countdown of this year’s 101 list, live from the Palladium’s newly renovated ballroom.
This year’s guide will also spotlight the best places to drink in Los Angeles, plus new inductees into the Hall of Fame, a standing list of restaurants that have become part of the fabric of Los Angeles and define what it means to eat and live in Southern California.
