Talk about a city building a big ego: another set of "Best of..." awards have been bestowed to some of Seattle's finest culinary talent in Travel + Leisure Magazine's "50 Best New U.S. Restaurants." The judges were set on finding restaurants and chefs that owned a sense of culinary ambition--okay, crazy enough to dare to open in a shaky economy--who also brought a warm, welcoming and innovative approach when it came time to cooking a meal. Entire list of restaurants after the jump.

Travel + Leisure, that know-it-all encyclopedia of picturesque destinations and cushy hotels, is out with an issue called "America's Favorite Cities": top choices for food, good-looking people, and shopping. Shoot, that's why we travel, isn't it? To see good-looking people? Turns out Seattle is "best in the country" for cafés, farmers markets, and...intelligent people. Runner-up for environmental awareness. Which combines to make us the number one destination in the US for a summer vacation. Seems T&L asked CNN Headline News to do a survey; they supposedly asked 125,000 "opinionated travelers." Before you get too smug, we ranked at the bottom of the heap for weather. Just as well.
