Bon Appetit’s 12th annual restaurant is out naming the top five American cities for dining out. Los Angeles is not among them.

“They’re at the top of their game — and each satisfies diners in its own distinctive way. Here’s where to go when you visit, and here’s what to cook from those menus at home.”

The top cities? New York, San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans and Las Vegas.

I don’t think I can adequately comment on the best cities for dining in the country, as I’ve never been to New Orleans and my experiences with Chicago have been lackluster (but financially challenged). I guess the shocker to most is that Las Vegas is on the list, but the fact that there are so many high end chefs there, I’m not at all suprised that Vegas is getting its due. But I’m also guessing that Vegas pursues that a little more than someplace than Los Angeles does. Let’s face it, there’s plenty to do in LA that it’s not really a destination for dining alone. Or maybe it should be. I find Los Angeles to be an incredibly accessible city when it comes to food and international cuisine.
