"The menu is designed around seasonal ingredients from local farmers, and dishes are prepared simply to mantain the flavors of the ingredients," noted the magazine in ranking Miller Union second. "Think grilled local pork loin with field peas and braised greens and sauteed quail with dirty rice and arugula."

Miller Union is on Brady Street on the Westside.

Tops on the list this year is Empire State South. It's on Peachtree Street in Midtown.

"The menu changes constantly, but the 'Snackies In Jars' with selections of pork rillette, smoked trout mousse, pickles, pimento cheese and bacon marmalade, and boiled peanut hummus are killer," Jezebel noted.
