The issue on stands Aug. 13 features the best dining spots across the world as chosen by 53 "of the finest chefs."

Husk's chef Sean Brock was praised by New York chef Michael Anthony for preparing food that makes diners "fall in love with the flavors of the Lowcountry," the magazine reports.

McCrady's chef de cuisine Jeremiah Langhorne was similarly praised for "inventive, ethereal and transcendent" cooking by Athens, Ga., chef Hugh Acheson.
