GAYOT.com’s recently published Annual Restaurant Issue 2007 was discussed during Sophie Gayot’s November 9th 2007 appearance on KNX 1070 Frank Mottek's Business Hour.

Frank Mottek and Sophie Gayot in the KNX studios.

The much-anticipated newsletter names the U.S. Top 40 Restaurants, Top 10 New Restaurants, Top 10 Steakhouses, Top 5 Pastry Chefs and Rising Chefs. Los Angeles should be proud to have a winner in all five categories:

- Top 40 Restaurants: Mélisse, Patina, Providence, Sona and Spago Beverly Hills
- Top 10 New Restaurants: All’ Angelo
- Top 10 Steakhouses: CUT
- Top 5 Pastry Chefs: Karen Hatfield, Hatfield’s
- Rising Chefs: Kris Morningstar, Blue Velvet.

Sophie expanded on the latest trends on the nation’s restaurant scene: the strength of the lounge, the ever-present use of farmers’ market and seasonal products, the continued popularity of small plates and burgers and the rise of rosé, and how dressing-down to dine has become de rigueur.

Below is the list of restaurants that were mentioned during the show.
