1. The ranking will have a post-pandemic makeover
Last year, the Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants organisation looked to its historical voting data to put together the one-off retrospective ranking called Pasado y Futuro, which covered the years from 2013 to 2021. This year, it is going back to a regular vote, with the voting panel expanded to number fully 300 anonymous gastronomy experts. They cast their votes for the 10 restaurants in which they’ve had their best dining experiences over the last 18 months. This means that the upcoming ranking will reflect the Latin American dining scene in its post-pandemic form for the first time. So expect some refreshments…The live awards ceremony will take place in Mérida, Yucatán, after the city’s culinary festival (images courtesy of Yucatán Travel)

2. The ancient secrets of Yucatecan gastronomy will be revealed
2022 marks the first year when the Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants awards programme will not be hosted in a capital city (it has previously taken place in Mexico City, Lima, Bogotá and Buenos Aires), moving instead to vibrant Mérida in Yucatán, reflecting 50 Best’s desire to highlight hidden gems of gastronomy. With the events set to take place just after the culinary festival Sabores de Yucatán, organised by Yucatán’s Ministry of Tourism, Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2022 will provide an opportunity to unearth and explore the state’s ancient culinary traditions, including dishes such as cochinita pibil, a thousand-year-old recipe.

2022 年是拉丁美洲 50 家最佳餐廳頒獎典禮將不在首都舉辦的第一年(此前曾在墨西哥城、利馬、波哥大和布宜諾斯艾利斯舉辦),將搬到充滿活力的猶加敦州梅里達,反映 50Best希望突出被隱藏的美食瑰寶。這些活動將在猶加敦旅遊部組織的烹飪節 Sabores de Yucatán 之後舉行,2022 年拉丁美洲 50 間最佳餐廳將提供一個機會來發掘和探索該州古老的烹飪傳統,包括 cochinita pibil 等菜餚,一個千年的食譜。

For the first time since Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants was launched in 2013, the list is expanding to include 100 venues from across the continent with the addition of the 51-100 list alongside the main 1-50 ranking. Created to shine a much-deserved spotlight on a greater number of hospitality establishments and the diverse culinary cultures of the region, the 51-100 list is voted by the same 300-strong Academy that creates the main list of Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants.

自 2013 年推出拉丁美洲 50 家最佳餐廳以來,該榜單首次擴大至包括來自整個拉丁美洲大陸的 100 家餐廳,此外還增加了 51-100 的榜單以及 1-50 的主要排名。 51-100 名單的創建是為了讓更多的餐飲機構,和該地區的多樣化烹飪文化成為焦點而組織的機構,該名單由300位來自該組織的投票者選出,該學院創建了拉丁美洲 50 家最佳餐廳的主要名單。
4. #50BestTalks will celebrate Cocina Consciente
An exclusive programme hosted throughout Mérida will culminate in the awards ceremony on the evening of 15 November, but will also include other events in the days preceding, including 50 Best’s signature thought-leadership forum #50BestTalks. This year’s Latin American edition will tackle the theme of Cocina Consciente (Conscious Cooking), exploring how restaurants can focus on good working conditions; environmental, economic, and human sustainability; healthier food and ethical sourcing practices. Big topics, with some big-name speakers to be announced.
