Restaurant Magazine has chosen its 50 best
restaurants in the world. Kind of interesting when you think about it, since a list like this would have been
America or Europe-only focused just ten years ago, you know. A sign of globalization, global travel, all that. Pretty
cool that two of them are New York restaurant…even if I’ve never been to Per Se. Maybe it’s time to go.

1. The Fat Duck — Best in Europe
Bray, Berks, England
2. El Bulli — Chef’s Choice
Montjoi, Spain
3. The French Laundry — Best in Americas
Yountville, Calif.
4. Tetsuya’s — Best in Australasia

5. Gordon Ramsay

6. Pierre Gagnaire
