Bon Appetit Names Blackberry Farm The No. 1 Resort for Food Lovers
Editor-In-Chief Adam Rappaport hails Blackberry Farm as "utterly delicious" and Executive Chef of the Barn Joseph Lenn's Anson Mills grits (with pickled ramps, crisp Benton's country ham and ramp sabayon) as “the best dish [he] ate in 2012.” In addition to this coup, the cover image of the issue features a stack of gluten-free griddle cakes, created by Executive Chef of the Main House Josh Feathers.

“We are so honored to be listed as the No.1 hotel in America for food lovers. At Blackberry Farm, we constantly aim to provide the best culinary experience for guests in both our Barn and Main House Restaurants by providing experiences that celebrate the region, highest quality ingredients possible and authentic southern character in all that we do,” stated Blackberry Farm Proprietor Sam Beall.

Bon Appétit describes this list as a collection of hotels that have outstanding food and really cool destinations that Bon Appétit editors love to go to and want to return again and again. The list is a celebration of properties that make food equally as important as other aspects of a hotel.
