AL’s Place in SF is the Best New Restaurant in America, According to Bon Appétit

Start making those reservations, people.
First they nominated six restaurants in San Francisco to be on their Hot 10. Then they named San Francisco the best food city in the country. And finally, the news you’ve been waiting for: Bon Appétit has finalized their Hot 10, and AL’s Place in the Mission is the best new restaurant in all of America.

Posted up on 1499 Valencia St, AL’s Place (the AL stands for Aaron London, the chef and owner) seats a modest forty-six and hosts three chefs; size aside, they are serving up highly innovative and flavorful takes on vegetable dishes — seriously, just check out the process for french fries.
Prior to operating his own restaurant, Aaron London was working at Ubuntu in Napa Valley where, according to Bon Appétit, “Under London, Ubuntu became the first vegetarian restaurant in America to win a coveted Michelin star.” I highly recommend reading Andrew Knowlton’s analysis of AL’s over at Bon Appétit — Aaron is truly an interesting character.

The izakaya Rintaro in the Mission also made it on list at #8, and you can check out the eight other restaurants in America that are on the Hot 10 here.
