If you've been puzzling over where you should eat out, Eater is back to answer that very question with our newest edition of the Heatmap—a guide to what's new, what's hot, and which restaurants are causing most buzz in Van City.
While the Eater 38 is a resource that covers old standbys and neighborhood essentials across the city, it is not necessarily a chronicle of the "it" places of the moment. Thus, we offer the Eater Heatmap, which will change every month to continuously highlight where the food nerds are flocking to at the moment.
Heatmap summer stunners Earnest Ice cream, chicken heroes Homer Street Cafe bar and locavore gurus the Farmer's Apprentice have stepped aside to make way for French fancy Bistro Wagon Rouge, Mexican firecracker Gringo and Vegas-vibed Emerald.

IN: Wagon Rouge, Gringo, Emerald
OUT: Earnest Ice Cream, Homer Street Cafe and Bar and The Farmer's Apprentice
