Please send them your congratulations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"more\">\n<p>To recap, Eater&#8217;s local editors in 27 cities nominated candidates for five major local categories:\u00a0<strong>Restaurant of the Year, Chef of the Year, Bartender of the Year, So Hot Right Now Restaurant, and Stone Cold Stunner<\/strong>. Eater readers then voted to narrow the field to a final three in each category. From that final three, the Eater editorial team chose the winner. Our Eater National brain trust then got together to decide the national winners for those categories. In addition to these main stage winners, said Eater editorial team has named worthy winners in more specialized categories, for myriad notable achievements.<\/p>\n<p>Nominees and winners alike will be feted at a party tonight in Manhattan. Those winners that couldn&#8217;t make it should watch their mail for packages containing cans of Italian peeled tomatoes. And now, without further ado, the winners in San Diego, plus a bonus category selected by our editorial team. Congratulations to all the nominees and finalists, San Diego should be proud to claim all of you as some of our brightest stars. Thanks for participating in this year&#8217;s Eater Awards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eater.com\/archives\/2013\/11\/18\/the-eater-awards-2013-winners-from-coast-to-coast.php\">Click through for the full rundown of winners<\/a>\u00a0across the country on Eater National.<\/p>\n<p><b>Eater Awards 2013<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Restaurant of the Year<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Nominees<\/i>: Sea &amp; Smoke, Buona Forchetta, MARKET Del Mar, Carnitas&#8217; Snack Shack, CUCINA urbana<br \/>\n<i>Finalists<\/i>: Buona Forchetta, Carnitas&#8217; Snack Shack, CUCINA urbana<br \/>\n<i>Winner<\/i>:\u00a0<b>Carnitas&#8217; Snack Shack<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Chef of the Year<\/b>:<br \/>\n<i>Nominees<\/i>: Jeff Jackson, Trey Foshee, Javier Plascencia, Matt Gordon, Hanis Cavin<br \/>\n<i>Finalists<\/i>: Trey Foshee, Javier Plascencia, Matt Gordon<br \/>\n<i>Winner<\/i>:\u00a0<b>Javier Plascencia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>So Hot Right Now<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Nominees<\/i>: Coin-Op Game Room; Ballast Point Tasting Room &amp; Kitchen, Waypoint Public, Fathom Bistro, Polite Provisions<br \/>\n<i>Finalists<\/i>: Ballast Point Tasting Room &amp; Kitchen, Waypoint Public, Polite Provisions<br \/>\n<i>Winner<\/i>:\u00a0<b>Waypoint Public<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Bartender of the Year<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Nominees<\/i>: Erick Castro, Ryan Andrews, Jen Queen, Eric Johnson, Ian Ward<br \/>\n<i>Finalists<\/i>: Ryan Andrews, Jen Queen, Eric Johnson<br \/>\n<i>Winner<\/i>:\u00a0<b>Eric Johnson<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Stone Cold Stunner<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Nominees<\/i>: Polite Provisions, Sea &amp; Smoke, Queenstown Public House, Bang Bang, CUCINA enoteca<br \/>\n<i>Finalists<\/i>: CUCINA enoteca, Sea &amp; Smoke, Queentown Public House and Polite Provisions (tie)<br \/>\n<i>Winner<\/i>:\u00a0<b>CUCINA enoteca<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Empire Builder of the Year (Bonus Category)<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Winner<\/i>:\u00a0<b>Tracy Borkumr<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Fuente: <a href=\"http:\/\/sandiego.eater.com\/archives\/2013\/11\/18\/announcing-the-2013-eater-awards-for-san-diego.php#more\" target=\"_blank\">Eater.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is time now\u2014drumroll, trumpets, gongs\u2014to announce the winners of the\u00a02013 Eater Awards.
