The S.Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2010 have now been announced. The list is the result of an extensive poll of the world’s most celebrated chefs, renowned food critics, leading restaurateurs and well-travelled gourmands – collectively they are The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy.


Here are the top 10:

1 Noma - Denmark
2 El Bulli - Spain
3 The Fat Duck - UK
4 El Celler de Can Roca - Spain
5 Mugaritz - Spain
6 Osteria Francescana - Italy
7 Alinea - USA
8 Daniel - USA
9 Arzak - Spain
10 Per Se - USA

Anyone ever been to any of them? Ray's All Steak Burgers and Driving Range did't make the cut - so I haven't been.

The rest of the list.

Just goes to prove my comment made in another thread about the food I had in NY. Clearly, we don't know **** about food around here. Well, maybe **** is what we do know.

Oh, and...

Celery and celeriac

According to Wiki, celeriac is a "type of celery". The world's best restaurant serves motherfuckin' celery and celery for lunch.

I bet it doesn't even come with peanut butter and raisins.

You mean the "soil" part.

It ain't dirt, people. It's hazel nuts and malt.

If you want people to think hazelnuts and malt, you don't use the word soil.

They said what it was, and the word "soil" was in quotes. What the hell is wrong with you?

Never been to any of them, and I suspect if I did go, I probably wouldn't enjoy the experience. Its not that I don't enjoy fine dining, its just that the best meal I've ever had was a chicken breast (cooked on a wooden spit over an open fire), and some baked beans, eaten under a tarp in the middle of a rainstorm on the side of a mountain. They can keep their celery and celery (no doubt with a side of celery).

I prefer Roy's Place of Gaithersburg, Maryland. Simply offering over 200 different sandwiches on the menu makes them Hall of Fame material in my book.

My parents took me to the Roy's Place in Columbia years ago and bought me beer to go with my sandwich for the first time. I had just turn 18 and legal age back in the day for beer and wine. My dad often ate there for lunch there in Gaithersburg when he work nearby.

I loved 144.

THE SUBLETTM (For Sale, not for lease.)
Hard salami, Swiss cheese, onions, lettuce, wine vinegar, olive oil, on French bread

Now though I would have to ask them to not put any swiss chess on it Smiley: frown

Hmmm, it's cost about €400,- to eat at the closest of those restaurants with 2 people (De Libreije in Zwolle) certainly looks interesting but holy **** that's expensive.
