    I've enjoyed some meals at bistronomic, but am surprised to see it on the semifinalist list for Best New Restaurant in the James Beard 2012 competition which were recently announced. I'm also baffled by how Topolobampo is on the list for best service given my one meal there last year. It was anything but polished and we had a 25 minute wait between courses.

    Keep in mind these are semi-finalists, not actual nominees. Basically a PR ploy for the Beard Foundation.

    Plus in all categories, you can nominate yourself by filling out an application and paying the entry fee.

    Even though it... um... tends to spread the love around, the long list is still curated somehow though, correct? It must be, else it'd be the impossibly long list.

    I was just about to link to Cathy's post about this from the 2010 thread about the semifinalists!
