13 exciting restaurant concepts that opened in 2022

Throughout the year, Restaurant Hospitality covered dozens of restaurant openings nationwide. These are the 13 that stood out — not to us, but to you, our readers, with these coming from the 10 most-read new-concept articles in 2022.

These restaurants are in cities from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas, to New York, but also places like Johnson City, Tenn. and Abilene, Kan. They come from big names like Mashama Bailey and Dani Garci and, yes, Martha Stewart — but also from operators just getting their starts. And they range from fine dining to quick service, and everything in between.

It was an exciting year for new restaurant openings, and you can catch up on many of them in this gallery.
