Eater Awards Voting Starts Now: Restaurant of the Year

Next Monday, Eater will present the 2013 Eater Awards, our fourth annual celebration of all that's made America's restaurant world run—and run wild—in the past twelve months. Winners will be selected on both the local and national levels in five major categories, the voting for which begins right now.

Kicking off the competition is Eater NOLA's Restaurant of the Year. Yes, the restaurants that rocked the local food industry this year. Nominees include three new stellar additions to our restaurant scene, and two well-established restaurants with hotness-levels through the roof. What do they all have in common? Impeccable signature dishes and service, award-winning chefs, and the ability to create a memorable experience that truly exemplifies New Orleans' dining at its best.

Here's how the voting works across the board: Eater editors have named nominees for each of five major categories. Eater readers will vote, narrowing the nominees to three finalists. From those three finalists, the Eater editorial team will select a winner. Ready to play your part? This poll will be open for 24 hours; voting irregularities will be strictly policed.
