Bon Appettit announces its 50 Best New Restaurant Nominees for 2012 – and I am pleased that one of my photos of Tamara Murphy’s Seattle restaurant Terra Plata was included in the slideshow (#40).  Here is Bon Apettit’s description:

“Rustic, hyperlocal Mediterranean cooking from James Beard Award-winning chef Tamara Murphy, with a penchant for both pork and pristine PacWest produce: What’s not to like? The space, with its wide windows, wooden tables, and raw-timber rafters, is as comforting as the unpretentious menu.”

Next time you’re in Seattle, be sure to stop by Terra Plata! Also, follow current news about Terra Plata on Eater Seattle!
