Best new restaurant
»1. Meril
424 Girod St., (504) 526-3745; www.emerilsrestaurants.com/meril
The newest addition to Emeril Lagasse's group of restaurants, Meril has served contemporary American cuisine in the Warehouse District since September. Despite the eatery's cavernous interior, warm lighting, exposed brick walls and parquet flooring make the space inviting, and the diverse small-plates menu is reminiscent of an indoor food truck fair. There are boudin-stuffed tamales, a fresh burrata salad and roasted lamb and pappardelle pasta flavored with saffron — just a few of the genre-bending menu items to tempt the taste buds. A daily happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. is an after-work treat for the CBD crowd and those on their way to or from New Orleans Saints home games at the Superdome.

Best place to get a sandwich
»1. Stein's Market & Deli
2207 Magazine St., (504) 527-0771; www.steinsdeli.net
As the surly, sleepy mayor of Magazine Street's deli domain, Dan Stein's titular shop has reigned as one of the best places to get a sandwich and one of the best delis for several years in the Best of New Orleans. Stein's sandwich selection is brimming with meats — in overstuffed Italian hoagies and Reubens and on its own specialty lineup with new classics like The Mumbler (prosciutto, Taleggio and arugula on ciabatta) — as well as daily specials and breakfast sandwiches. Inside Stein's you'll find cans of Cheez Whiz, shelves stocked with deli standards, several beer fridges that aren't playing around, and, if you're lucky, a piece of candy waiting for you at the register.

Best barbecue restaurant
»1. Blue Oak BBQ
900 N. Carrollton Ave., (504) 822-2583; www.blueoakbbq.com
Blue Oak BBQ had been open for about four months when our readers chose it as their second favorite barbecue spot and second favorite new restaurant in last year's Best of New Orleans readers' poll. This year, it climbs to the No. 1 barbecue spot. Owners and pit masters Ronnie Evans and Philip Moseley honed their skills and menu at pop-ups and then at the kitchen nook at Chickie Wah Wah before opening their restaurant in Mid-City. Now fans line up at the counter to order meats cooked with low heat for as long as 14 hours in combo plates featuring sliced or chopped brisket, pulled pork, sausages, chicken and St. Louis-style spare ribs. Popular dishes include sandwiches and nachos topped with a choice of meats and barbecue sauce. The restaurant is comfortable and casual, with rolls of paper towels and plastic squeeze bottles of sauces on the tables. There are regional beers on tap at the bar, and the patio is dog-friendly.
2. The Joint
701 Mazant St., (504) 949-3232; www.alwayssmokin.com
3. Central City BBQ
1201 S. Rampart St., (504) 558-4276; www.centralcitybbq.com
Think Frey should have cracked the top 3. I rank them over Robless CCBBQ.

False hype ignored by Gambit, like a champ.

I like Theos but not even close to the best. Hell I'll take Brooklyn over Theos.

Maypop
Haven't eaten at Meril/DTB/Poke Loa, but Maypop is excellent. Easily my favorite restaurant I've eaten at in the past year.

Clearly the readers of Gambit saw through the "false hype" surrounding pizza D et al. Lol

Yea, that's a joke. Theo's is alright, but it's not better than either of the PD's.

On some of these polls they should toss out certain ones that make the top three due to being ridiculous, like Chimes as number 2 on the Northshore ahead of Del Porto, Dakota, Gallagher's, etc. Toss out the retard votes.

Not impressed by Blue Oak. Brisket too dry and little smoke flavor. I enjoy Frey more.

A lot of those "awards" are given to places that advertise with the magazine/publication. I know someone who won "top....." and when I asked how they won, they told me they paid for the honor.

Not impressed with Meril
Maypop is great though
