If you need another sign that we’re eating well on both sides of the state line, Urbanspoon’s list of America’s Most Popular New Restaurants in 2012 should do nicely. Sweet Siam in Lenexa, Remedy Food + Drink and Cafe Gratitude are included in the collection of 50 restaurants.

Urbanspoon based its rankings on the amount of buzz that a restaurant received from critics, bloggers and diners. Circle 7 Ranch in Ballwin, Missouri, and O’Shay’s Pub in St. Louis also made the list.
