More accolades for Detroit’s food scene as Zagat voters have ranked Detroit #3 on a list of America’s Next Hot Food Cities.

Their go-to list reads like a who’s who of recent Detroit culinary cuisine, and includes shout-outs to talented local chefs. They mention [Antietam](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2015/01/28/dine-like-youre-gatsby-antietam/), Gold Cash Gold, Green Dot Stables, Johnny Noodle King, Mercury Burger Bar, Motor City Wine, Revolver, Rose’s Fine Food, [Selden Standard](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2014/11/19/selden-standard-raises-the-standard-of-dining-in-midtown/), Slows Bar-B-Q, and [Wright & Co](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2015/04/02/three-detroit-area-chefs-nominated-for-best-new-chef-in-america-by-food-wine-magazine/). It’s interesting to note that none of those places existed just a few years ago.

*From [Zagat:](https://www.zagat.com/americas-next-hot-food-cities/detroit?ref=dailydetroit.com)*

*Detroit’s dining scene, much like the city itself, is undergoing a period of rapid transformation. The food-obsessed from the suburbs and beyond are returning to the long-beleaguered downtown areas, with a new-found curiosity for exotic cuisines, flavors and ideas. Innovative pop-ups, homegrown distilleries, urban farms and a growing number of celebrity chefs (Michael Symon, Wolfgang Puck and soon, Roy Choi) have all helped to land the city at No. 3 on our ranking.*

Who was number one? Birmingham, Alabama. For the rest of the list, [go here.](https://www.zagat.com/americas-next-hot-food-cities/?ref=dailydetroit.com)
